[fokhan_96]

Englad 325 all out, WI need 326 to win? Can we even make half that score? 163?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

west indies looking hopeless against these spin bowlers

[DMan7]

WI won with hope hitting 109 not out.

[Dizzy28]

2nd ODI today.
Was taking a look at the list of quickest to 5000 runs since Hope did it it he last game

When one considers Viv played in an era of bigger boundaries, one new ball as opposed to two, less fielding restrictions, smaller bats his numbers are Bradmanesque in comparison to everyone else.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

ahhh yes, the windies we know

31-4 atm

[DMan7]

It only took 1 day for England to figure out our players. We really do suck!

Yup. The REAL WI really turned up today. - 202 all out in 39.4 overs. LOL.

[DMan7]

Well at least we could say that we can't lose the series since we won a game. 2-1 England?

[bluefete]

Sorry my bad I meant whitewashed. Looks like WI loss have me in a tizzy bai?

[bluefete]

WI started good . Had England 5/55.

Now about to take their foot of the gas and allow the normal recovery to happen.

[DMan7]

WI had England at 49/5 and let them get away to 206/9. smh

It's the usual with them eh don't matter who gets selected they just can't apply pressure to close off a team from a good position.

I don't think WI will be able to make this target because the wicket seems to be playing well to the bowlers.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

west indies win a series yes

[DMan7]

WI continues to shock me with all these wins boi. But a pleasant shock nonetheless. I hope they keep it up with the T20 series. I accept nothing less than a 5-0 defeat of England in the T20 series.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

windies have a pretty decent t20 squad. (on paper) Let's see what they could do

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Listening to badree and Ganga is real torture.

West indies looking good chasing 172

[DMan7]

As soon as I see England picked 4 spinners I know WI is in trouble. And low and behold its the spinners who are tying them down at the moment. The more things change the more they remain the same with WI cricket.

Hetmeyer needs a new coach because his current one sure ain't working - at least on the field.

[DMan7]

^ Yea he need to drop his wife as his coach.

[bluefete]

Good game - WI need 15 runs from 18 balls

[bluefete]

9 from 16 Russell hit a 6

[bluefete]

5 from 14

[bluefete]

WI win

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Sheitmyer could get a drop. It have Charles, Fletcher etc who could bat

[DMan7]

They should drop Shetmeyer for Athanaze, left hander for left hander swap. Not sure if he's in the squad tho.
