[Cricket] 1st ODI, West Indies v England at Bridgetown, Barbados

[Moshe Gariani]

I know England are motoring at the moment but think the bookies have got the in play betting incorrect
After all this will be a record chase and England currently 4/9 and West Indies 7/4
Obviously want England to win but lay England at those odds all day long

Wise words.

Flat pitch, best lineup, no 1 ranked team.......still a big chase though, would have thought maybe about evens would be fair ?

Outstanding knock.......[emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

....and boom, what a shot over extra cover.

Actually a better innings than Gayle's in as much as he has paced it far far better. Two 6's in the over, this could get messy when the specialist batsmen get in...

 

[dazzer6666]

Halfway there with only 23 overs gone......

Halfway there with only 23 overs gone......

and 1 wicket down.

West Indies are truly awful. Sad to see.

 

[Titanic]

100 partnership (13.5 overs)

Roy 119* Root 31*

 

[Pavilionaire]

A couple of close calls there for Roy, then good captaincy by Root to have a long chat with him.196-1.

 

[jakarta]

England knocking 1's and 2's around, perhaps the Windies should have done the same?

 

[Titanic]

Roy gone this time... slashes an edge to short third man... a magnificent 123 from 85 balls, 3 sixes and 15 fours

England 205-2 (26.5 overs)

 

[Titanic]

WIndies spill another one... Root at backward point... easy chance on 46

217-2 (29.2 overs)

142 required from 20 overs, RRR 7.1

Fifty for Root, his 30th ODI Fifty, there is another milestone coming up for him.


EDIT: Here it comes, 5000 ODI runs, 4th Fastest to 5000 after Amla, Viv Richards and Kohli!

 

[Titanic]

Pace isn't everything... Oshane Thomas luzzing it down at 90mph has gone for 51 from his 6 overs.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Root fastest Englishman to 5000 ODI runs. Silky.
