Which means Ind vs Aus in the test match final...imo, it should be 3 tests for that WTC though

[Dizzy28]

New Zealand v Sri Lanka - WOW!

Even a movie could not have scripted a better ending.

NZ won by 2 wickets off the very last ball of the test match.

SL mussbe thought they get away with a draw when that rain fell.
Williamson is a bauce!!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Pretty decent effort with the bat from the windies. Not sure if they could contain SA though

[DMan7]

SA should roll over this score in less than 40 overs. WI bowling in 50 overs has been the worse I've ever seen from any team including the associates.

One week later and my comment still holds
Williamson is a bauce!!!!!

Went to sleep when he was dismissed last night. 6th double hundred.

[cornfused]

Most runs scored by West Indies against SA in the ODI format ever. Win by 40 runs

[fokhan_96]

India just pull ah WI on Australia yes...hahha

[bluefete]

WI really had an off-day when they won the 2nd ODI.

Today they were back to their normal selves getting some proper licks from SA.

W! - 260 all out (48.2) / SA 264/6 (29.3)

SA scored at almost 9 runs an over.

[DMan7]

^Correct is right, the 2nd ODI was a fluke this is WI back to being their usual selves. Nothing to see here.

WI failing to bat 50 overs???
Seems legit!!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Next pit stop would be India in the Caribbean come july/Aug.....hopefully we could get a game or 2

[bluefete]

So how come this is not in the news?

Not a single West Indian player chosen!

Aaron Finch, Marcus Stoinis and Mitchell Marsh sign on for inaugural Major League Cricket tournament. The first season of the MLC is slated to begin on July 13 in Texas.

The six-team tournament has received financial backing from wealthy Indian businessmen and celebrities, with more than AU$174 million invested by the likes of Microsoft boss Satya Nardella and Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan.

BCCI not letting their players participate in that...

[DMan7]

1st T20 Match WI vs SA, rain has caused the match to be reduced to 11 overs.

SA has made over 130 runs in 11 overs and despite WI having more experienced players in playing T10 matches I'm pretty sure they are going to lose this.

WI making this soo easy not to watch them bat.

[matix]

34-1 after 2 overs. Good start

[shake d livin wake d dead]

62 in 4....west indies real sometimish yes....they in a position to win this one

[DMan7]

My philosophy on WI cricket is always expect them to lose and you'll never be disappointed.

[De Dragon]

Good knock from Rovman Powell to take it home.

[killercow]

WI batting first:
206/4 after 16

[DMan7]

258 runs WI made in 20 overs against SA in the 2nd T20. What going to happen to WI bowlers when they start to bowl?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

If only they could be this consistent all the time

[matix]

Brilliant century from Charles

[DMan7]

Whatever WI can do the other team can do better, just remember that. That 258 will be overhauled in less than 20 overs. WI will have to be real lucky for anything to happen otherwise.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

62 in 3 yes

[2ndchance]

Amazing batting by SA. 102 in the powerplay!

[bluefete]

What the heck going on.? Just by chance I put on the TV and WI 259 (20 overs)

SA 180 /2 12 overs.

Wake me up when it is over.

[bluefete]

WI could not even defend 259 in a T-20 game. Well yes.

Wow, i really didn't expect WI to lose this one

[fokhan_96]

I don't even...
