Australia off to a strong start

[trent]

Australia piling on the runs: 337/1 after the first day!

[alcom2222]

Meanwhile in Guyana

[The Paleontologist]

Red steel is failure yes.
Not sure if is t20 or odi.

[bluefete]

You cannot win a 20/20 if 50% 0f your overs are dot balls!!!

[The Paleontologist]

After that shot small bravo get in he face like it wake him up

[speedmelter]

the umpire is trini.. young bravo could thank him for that blatent misjudgement when he was on 36 lol... the umpire surely saw that huge deflection and heard the edge. he was even smiling when he gave it not out lol

[X_Factor]

Finally!!!
Pts table looking brutal yes!
all the teams still have a chance!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Red Steel have to come good in all the other games to have a chance

[Dizzy28]

Had Bravo (Daren) been given out or had he walked as his more famous cousin did throughout his career he would have basically scratched about for a run a ball 30 something. Instead he was able to boost his individual score and strike rate significantly.

Why isn't the referral system being used in T20 competitions though (for decisions other than runouts and stumpings)? Last night shows how a match can be impacted by one poor decision.

[The Paleontologist]

England in a heap of trouble. Currently 30-4

I said the exact thing in the bar last night...

Lara would have walked and he should have too. Just good sportsmanship. That was the worst umpiring ever and I am a steel fan... I wonder where the umpire from? lol

[Dizzy28]

Sportsmanship was a dying trait under Lara. Would be conspicuously absent now.
Off the top of my head can only think of Lara and Gilchrist as the well-known "walkers"

[X_Factor]

One day it works with us and the next it will work against us
thats sports in all forms of the game with an umpire/ref

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Now that's the Australia team I know

[The Paleontologist]

Narine squaring up zouks. 3 wickets for 1 run in 2 overs

[Trini Hookah]

Lord Narine.

[hustla_ambition101]

[alcom2222]

Only batsmen with them head on can bat there

[speedmelter]

the umpiring in that game was so poor. two blatant mistakes by the same fat umpire

[racedriverpro]

Pollard need to tone it to fack down. Do you all think this cpl will promote unity of wi players at the International level?

To promote unity of windies players is one thing....all of them getting picked at the same time for the windies team is another thing.Get a new group of selectors and then we talking business

[speedmelter]

and the poor umpiring continues... poor afridi, just when he looked to be getting off to a start

[shake d livin wake d dead]

what he said^

in the mean time,England gona feel it real bad

[killercow]
