England in the West Indies

[An Tarbh]

Benn picks up another wicket with Khan the victim this time, England 121-9

 

[An Tarbh]

and all out now for 121, wonder when was the last time in a Twenty20 match where the batting side failed to get a six in the innings. Excellent fielding effort from the Windies, run chase should be routine now.

 

[An Tarbh]

Fletcher picks out Mascharenas in the deep off Broad to go for 6 and England pick up their first wicket.

WI 11-1

 

[An Tarbh]

well we finally get a Six in Trinidad with Sarwan taking the honours, only took 24 overs to get one.

 

[An Tarbh]

England pick up their second wicket with Chanderpaul the man out. 45-2 now.

 

[An Tarbh]

when you're defending such a small total you've got to take the chances that come your way and Khan made a proper mess of that catch.

 

[An Tarbh]

Sarwan capitalises on Khan dropping him by making his 50 off 40 balls.

 

[An Tarbh]

Khan sort of makes up for his dropped catch of Sarwan by bowling the same man, too little too late though.

 

[An Tarbh]

think it's a bit rich of some of the England bowlers to be having a go at their fielders, it's not as if the same fielders are giving them grief when they bowl a poor delivery.

 

[An Tarbh]

Bravo goes trying to finish with a big hit but still only 3 needed from 14 deliveries, no panic for the Windies.

 

[An Tarbh]

pretty comprehensive from the Windies winning with something to spare, poor effort from England today in all departments, ominous signs for the ODI series ahead.

Strauss has been passed fit to lead England in the opening ODI this afternoon in Guyana.

England certainly need a massive improvement if they're to compete in this series having been thoroughly outclassed in the Twenty20 at Trinidad.

 

[An Tarbh]

not sure what Strauss was playing at there, should have left it, would have been called a wide. Poor start from England with only 1 boundary inside the first 7 overs of powerplay cricket, was beginning to wonder if they'd make it through the first powerplay without hitting one at all.

 

[An Tarbh]

think England have scored more from extras than runs.

 

[An Tarbh]

well they couldn't hit one on Sunday but Pietersen has delivered one now only to be out next ball a la Strauss when he hit the first boundary.

 

[An Tarbh]

funny seeing the crowd's reaction to the free hit.

 

[An Tarbh]

Bopara now gone, lbw to Miller, never looked well set, usually expect better than that from Bopara.

 

[An Tarbh]

Rain has stopped play in Guyana, England currently 190-3 with 13 overs left in their innings.

 

[An Tarbh]

play is about to get underway again in Guyana but no overs have been lost, instead the interval will only be 30 minutes.

 

[An Tarbh]

England losing 2 wickets in the batting power play, no surprises really, England don't do power plays in fairness.
