World Cup: England v West Indies

[Titanic]

Polard continues to keep it pretty tight... just 3 singles and a wide (the first EXTRA of the innings!!)

At the half way mark...

England 132-3 (25 overs)

Surely 300 is a minimum target on this wicket, and with the bits and pieces England attack... whether or not we can achieve it is another matter!

 

[CHAPPERS]

I'm mainly enjoying brightonmark1234's take on the proceedings.

 

[Titanic]

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



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

He didn't. The ball turned quite sharply, and bounced, and caught a leading edge as he played against the spin (as he had done successfully for the previous 4 overs from Bishoo). It happens in one day cricket.

 

[Titanic]

Another tight one...

England 134-3 (26 overs)

 

[Titanic]

Roach returns and castles Bell with his first ball. Kept a little low??

Fair enough. I'm not watching only have cricinfo to go on, and they described it as a soft dismissal.

And Bell has gone.

great ball bye bell

 

[Titanic]

A wicket maiden! That is a great return from the firey Roach...

England 134-4 (27 overs)

Morgan 7* Bopara 0*

England under some pressure now.

 

[Titanic]

The keeper, Devon Thomas, is a live wire...

and he's taken a good catch, to dismiss Morgan... a second wicket for Bishoo.

England 135-5 in the 28th over.

 

[Oatway4England]

Shocking shot. The irishmen has gone!

 

[Simster]

134/5.

Predictable wheels-falling-off bollocks.

Bishoo has two slips now... and it's turning and bouncing

7 - 0 - 21 - 2

Thomas is ejaculating wildly after every ball!!

England 135-5 (28 overs)

 

[sten_super]

Luke Wright.. Cometh the hour, cometh the man?

 

[Titanic]

Ravi Bopara SMASHES the no-ball free hit for one leg bye

 

[Titanic]

Just 9 runs off the last 5 overs... and lost 2 wickets.

England 138-5 (29 overs)

 

[Titanic]

Bishoo really has the ball on a string here... length, flight and turn... he is tying the batsmen in knots...

England 140-5 (30 overs)

 

[brightonmark1234]
