tonyh29 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Think Jason Roy had a date with a supermodel lined up , seemed pretty determined to get himself out for the last 15 mins or so great knock though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 superb batting from England. It's a testament to them that when Gayle and co were smashing it about earlier, I wasn't concerned, but to chase their highest ODI on the first leg of series, is mightily impressive. Ok Windies bowling attack were two men down, but even so, there is so much confidence in this side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 yep, chuck in english conditions for woakes and willey too, and they'll be in a great position, though NZ, Pakistan, India, Australia and the Windies themselves aren't bad sides by any means, but those odds do look a bit generous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 If England don't win the world cup, it'll be the cricketing equivalent of Brazil's failure in 1982! We have the most destructive one day batting line up I've ever seen. Is Roy now the universe boss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Enough of this gay banter; what do Warks fans think of the appointment of Paul Farbrace ? Will he break up what might be considered the rather 'cosy' set-up of appointing old Bears and will he attract some good overseas players; particularly for the T20.

We are looking very good mind. Gayle yesterday played some brutal shots but his innings strike rate wasnt actually that great and he was a joke in the field, it makes you wonder whether he is a hindrance to the Windies.

He’s clearly a top bloke, an excellent coach, highly regarded by players etc. His job as director of cricket isn’t a hands on one, though. I wonder if he’ll get bored, or take to it really well? Only time will tell. I like him though and hope he does a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 A nonsensical concept. Nobody will have a clue what is going on including the players themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 22, 2019 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2019 This is a great game this evening - England now needing 44 from 5.2. I make the Windies favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 22, 2019 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2019 8 wickets down and needing 30 from 21 balls. Difficult from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 That short burst of wickets did it. Curran's lbw was the worst I've seen in a long time but some poor shots and a bad review from Stokes didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 22, 2019 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2019 All over, bowled out 26 short of target. It's fair to say that one ebbed and flowed. Cracking game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Shouldn’t need a review to see how abysmal the Curran dismissal was but I doubt it would have changed the overall result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Yep, great game, good result for the series too. Windies getting 81 in their final 10movers and that wicket cluster were crucial. Hope we end up batting first next time to see how we get on that way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just switched the cricket on. Have to say the new WI tactic of bowling knee/thigh-high full bungers doesn't seem to be working very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 last 5 overs have gone for 97. This is absolutely absurd hitting. Very nice to see pretty much all our destructive hitters in form this tournament 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
