World Cup: England v West Indies

[Mendoza]

will today be the day that Trott hits his first ODI SIX?

 

[crodonilson]

f***ing come on boys, good start now these two have to go on and make big contributions.

 

[Titanic]

Pollard... medium pace, chirpy keeper up at the stumps, keeping it slightly short of a length, variations of pace... seems a reasonable recipe...

England 99-2 (17 overs)

 

[CHAPPERS]

Long tail for the West Indies today.

 

[Titanic]

BISHOO finds more turn, and is keeping it tidy...

England 103-2 (18 overs)

 

[Titanic]

The metronomic Pollard continues with more of the same...

England slightly becalmed at the moment, but keeping the singles ticking along... 108-2 (19 overs)

 

[Titanic]

Another uneventful over...

England 112-2 (20 overs)

 

[Titanic]

First boundary for 5 overs... clipped away on the leg side by Bell.

England 119-2 (21 overs)

 

[Lady Whistledown]

The West Indies wicketkeeper is one of the chirpiest EVER. "Ohhh, bowling, bowling bowling Bish", he just doesn't stop.

The best was when he had a Partridge-esque moment at Darren Sammy fielding: "Sammy! Sammy! Sammy! Sammy! SAMMY! SAMMY! SAMMY! SAMMY!"

 

[Titanic]

Replay shows Bell survived a difficult leg side catching opportinuty to the keeper off the last ball.

 

[Titanic]

BISHOO gets TROTT, leading edge to mid on, 47 from 38 balls.

His first ODI wicket... and a tidy four overs for 13 runs.

England 121-3 (22 overs)

 

[Lady Whistledown]

"Oooohhhhh, bowling, bowling, bowling, bowling BISH"

 

[brightonmark1234]

lets just chip it to the fielder

 

[brightonmark1234]

[Titanic]

gave away his wicket

He got 47 from 38 balls FFS.

If every batsmen did that we would get 371.

England 123-3 (23 overs)

 

[brightonmark1234]

The parsimonious Bishoo continues, giving just 5 singles off that over...

England 128-3 (24 overs)

Sorry to keep harping on, but there's absolutely no point being happy if we get 250. If we get 250 WE WILL LOSE.

He got 47 from 38 balls FFS.

If every batsmen did that we would get 371.

England 123-3 (23 overs)

Doesn't alter the fact that he threw away his wicket though, does it?
