windies looking at possible victory in the 3rd ODI?chasing 227 atm.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

well done to chanders,back to no1 spot.

[trent]

Thoughtless shot by Smith, when will he learn?

[Dizzy28]

WI finally winning one. So long in the making against this Bangla team.

[trent]

Great knock by Samuels
Narine finally comes good
Nice knock by Powell as well

[uncle sam]

samuels again!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

so it might really be 3-2 den?

[trent]

^^^ but in favor of who?

[equipped2ripp]

Another 50 for Cook....

[Dizzy28]

Unbeaten 136 for Cook. His 23rd Hundred at age 27. He on track to be at least up there with the other leaders in terms of centuries scored when he retires given the amount of Test cricket England Plays.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Cook is ah monster,I seeing some records falling to him,

@trent idk nah bai...

True, i pointed this out a couple of pages b4...Cook now has the most Test centuries for an England batsman, became the youngest batsman to 7000 Test runs, and has five hundreds in five Tests as captain.

[equipped2ripp]

150 for Cook! Well done!

[ryan99tt]

WI crashing again...75-4 (19.1 overs)....

[shake d livin wake d dead]

why it looking like real failure for windies in this game

[equipped2ripp]

81/5 now

[Skanky]

Need to drop Pollard and try some other team combination.

[equipped2ripp]

and Smith as well...

time to bring back Chanderpaul into the ODI side.

[trent]

Sammy fighting back...Smith is a big waste

[uncle sam]

Smith/Pollard aint saying much.. Gayle bowled well in the 3rd so yuh will get a bligh.. and because he paid his dues..

[trent]

Bang: 3-2 Sammy gettin orn!

[trent]

7-4

[equipped2ripp]

Check ting!

[trent]

13-5, this gonna end soon

[Dizzy28]

and Smith as well...

time to bring back Chanderpaul into the ODI side.

IMO WI have always erred in radically changing their ODI side from their test one and packing it with 5 seam bowling all rounders who all are average with the bat. Chanderpaul and Sarwan are quality batsmen who were given a raw deal wrt to limited overs cricket and well Sarwan in all forms of cricket.
England started a trend of radically altering their ODI side but they never prospered. (England now considering three coaches for each form of cricket)
On the other hand South Africa and Australian ODI sides have little difference to their test ones and they perform pretty well.

With that said this match is nicely set up for an intriguing finish.

[trent]

Crushing win by WI, series squared 2-2...cant wait for game 5

[equipped2ripp]

5th ODI starts in 10 hrs!

I hope they drop Smith and bring back Simmons!

[hydroep]

Yeah, with that win things just got interesting.

[trent]

Pollard on fire!

[<=xjemler=>]

Damn thought he was gonna make his century !!
