Noice start.... lads the plane doesn't depart yet - there are another 2 games

by Chivalry Augustus Fri 27 Mar 2009, 18:41

Sweepstake then, how many/few overs will it take for the Windies to knock these off?

I'm going for 16.

by JKLever Fri 27 Mar 2009, 18:41

by eowyn Fri 27 Mar 2009, 18:44

split the difference 15.

by Chivalry Augustus Fri 27 Mar 2009, 18:44

At the current rate it will be over in less than 10.

by JKLever Fri 27 Mar 2009, 18:45

It will if the umps make us bowl 7 ball overs

by Henry Fri 27 Mar 2009, 18:55

This is worse than the Australia day ODI at Adelaide in 2007. FFS, people were predicting we'd beat the Windies comfortably.

by JKLever Fri 27 Mar 2009, 18:59

The quicker this is over the better...

by beamer Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:00

Are they actually trying, or just trying to get it over with as quickly as possible?

by JKLever Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:01

Hopefully the qunts apologise for this abject performance but I suspect we'll get the usual dribble from Strauss.

The more embarrasing the better.

by furriner Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:08

Having accepted that...

New Zealand 619/9d
India 79/3 (23.0 ov)

I can still say that..

Ha, ha England are $hit.

6.6 Mascarenhas to Gayle, 2 runs, whoops, it's in the air, but there's enough bat on that to clear the ring at backward point
6.5 Mascarenhas to Gayle, SIX, on the toes, up, up and away, into the beach at wide midwicket! This is hilarious, and the crowd are ecstatic
6.4 Mascarenhas to Gayle, no run, a dot-ball. Boo
6.3 Mascarenhas to Gayle, SIX, battered! That is incredible! Open-shouldered smash over the covers, that went flat and hard, and into the stands. Gayle has his half-century, from 27 balls!
6.2 Mascarenhas to Gayle, SIX, Hugh Mungus. Stand and deliver, a contemptuous swipe, clean over the sightscreen!
6.1 Mascarenhas to Gayle, FOUR, fladaboom, to coin a phrase. Short, wide, and slapped through the covers

Any chance England will forfeit the rest of the series and get the first plane home tomorrow?

by furriner Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:11

On Caribbean Cricket MB:

Is like West Indies hold them by them foot and lick them head on the brick...

Masacration to Mascarehnas!

Gayle is the hardest hitter of the cricket ball in World cricket. Unbelievable innings.

by furriner Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:14

Theoretically Gayle can get a century.

by Allan D Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:14

England have lost 4 ODIs by 10 wickets - the last occasion being against New Zealand at Hamilton in February last year. West Indies have won 10 ODIs by 10 wickets, the last occasion being the defeat of The Netherlands in Dublin in July 2007. West Indies have never beaten England by 10 wickets in an ODI (so far!).

by filosofee Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:15

What's the WIndies' hurry!

by kkf Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:16

Gayle has 73. Simmons has 7. Has there been a greater disparity in an opening partnership.

by JKLever Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:19

Nice knock by Simmons...

Gayles obviously in some serious hurry!

by filosofee Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:24

Batting powerplay!

by JKLever Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:24

Ok so I stole this from BBC text..... but, are West Indies ahead on Duckworth/Lewis?

by filosofee Fri 27 Mar 2009, 19:25

And he's out!
