World Cup: England v West Indies

[Titanic]

That was a lovely shot from Luke Wright... nice cover drive for FOUR off Pollard.

England 177-6 (37 overs)

 

[FlownWest]

Shite, absolutely shite. Whoever sanctioned the arranging of these fixtures since the end of the Ashes needs to be handed their P45. They aren't fundamentally bad players, they are just completely and totally knackered and mentally exhausted.

I saw some bod from the ECB come on TV the other day and say everything was alright because they 'will only play 5 game ODI series against the Aussies from now on'. That would have given them what, another week back in the UK before this tournament? The organisation has been a complete farce. When it comes to England vs Australia, no-one gives a flying fig about ODIs, all anyone cares about are the Tests. Yet in the past two years we've played ten Tests and 21 ODIs. 21!! Fuckwits.

and breathe

What makes it worse for me is that we already had an ODI series against Australia last summer. The one after the Ashes should have been 2-3 games MAX, maybe even none at all if you factor in this World Cup. Complete cricket overkill.

 

[Titanic]

Wright and Tredwell have put on 32 in 34 balls.

England 183-6 (38 overs)

 

[Titanic]

Another quietly effective over from Kieran Pollard... just 3 runs come from it

spoke too soon... 2 buzzers off the last ball

England 188-6 (39 overs)

Wright 25* Tredwell 9*

 

[Simster]

What is going to be competitive? I'd imagine England would be moderately content with around 270.

 

[Titanic]

Wright SLOGS a long hop from Sammy to cow corner for FOUR.

 

[Titanic]

Shocking run out.

Wright gave Tredwell no chance

Oh dear

 

[Titanic]

Every schoolboy cricketer knows... NEVER RUN ON A MISFIELD

 

[Simster]

Shocking run out.

Wright gave Tredwell no chance

Oh dear

On the positive side, at least it was only Tredwell.

 

[Titanic]

England 196-7 (40 overs)

 

[Billy the Fish]

comedy running

 

[CHAPPERS]

Not entirely Wright's fall that, it was a big misfield and Tredwell didn't run on the call.

 

[Titanic]

England limp past 200...

England 202-7 (41 overs)

 

[brightonmark1234]

200 up

 

[Titanic]

The newbie Bishoo returns to purvey his wristy delights.

 

[sydney]

shyte don't know why you're bothering to watch,they have had ENUFF.

 

[Titanic]

and Wright smashes him to mid wicket for FOUR... and then straight off the back foot for FOUR more.

10 off the over.

England 212-7 (42 overs)

Wright 43* Bresnan 5*

Wright is CARRYING this innings.

Just as well that he is playing in favour of Collingwood really.
