West Indies v England, Only T20, Port of Spain, March 15th

If Amjad Khan wanted to throw, in this instance it should have been the bat.

Gareth Batty is suddenly finding himself above Stuart Broad in the batting!

Perhaps they got confused and thought they'd picked Rashid after all?

121 all out FFS!

All over. 121. 19 Overs.


122 to win.

So... all we need is for

Broad
Anderson
Khan
Batty
Mascherenhas

to go <122

Well, without Gayle in the side I suppose it will just drag it out for a couple of overs more than would have been the case anyway... they'll get it inside 14 or 15 I'm sure.

Half-time mini-sweepstake: How many deliveries will Noey's first T20I over contain? I'll go for one more than his Test debut, so 10...

I was almost right earlier; 10 wickets, 11 boundaries.

And we can have a quick go at being crapulous rather than dragging it out in forlorn hope.

Is there any way we can blame this on A) Matt Prior, B) Peter Moores, C) Giles Clarke, D) Ashley Giles, E) David Graveney, F) Maggie Thatcher, G) all of the above?

Wankers, the lot of them.

You know what - I'm backing him. Eight deliveries.

Hopefully he goes for 30 off a 12 ball over with 4 free hits so they can see why he shouldn't be there.

I reckon he'll manage a six-ball over that will only go for 9...

Windies in less than eleven overs. Any takers?

good start by Anderson. A wide down leg.

Why am I watching this?

Is the reason Prior was surprising left out because Strauss wanted to wear his shirt?

Come on, Yessie...

Oh, it's Broad. How boring.

Well, two yes-balls to start with, both going to the boundary though...

It's funnier than Songs of Praise?

And it's no-ball and wide free. Still went for 13 runs!

He is a pile of gash though imo, it's like watching Ed Giddins bowling for your national side.

Bad Times.

I see Giddins is now presenting poker programmes on Sky!

More bage from Anderson here - how do you average above 30 bowling in Twenty20 cricket? Takes some doing!

Somehow, England are edging this - after 7 overs they were 55-1, WI are 55-2.

Suspect the Windies won't collapse in such a miserable and dribbling heap, though.

IT'S BATTTTTTTTTYYYYYYY....

...who Sarwan thrashes for six.

Noey Khan't catch, either...
