[mitch1980]

brilliant win
very lucky with the dropped catches

samuels need to wake up and understand with 11.5 RR u can t play like a test match
at ;least rotate the strike

[ryan99tt]

Samuel puts alot of pressure on the guys lower down the order and he is not contributing to the score in any way...

[killercow]

I liked the comments Sammy made @ the
post-match presentation:
"Good to see Faulkner bowl the last over"

For those who missed it, Faulkner said before
the match that he doesn't like WI so glad
Sammy smack him for a couple sixes .

[trent]

Sammy u beauty!

[X_Factor]

i like when sammy said he was glad faulkner bowled the last over
now he will seriously hate WI...lol

Samuel puts alot of pressure on the guys lower down the order and he is not contributing to the score in any way...

If his bowling wasn't useful, I'd drop him no doubt. But because his contributes as another all rounder he still retains some value, even though he is under performing

[trent]

Lol...that was epic^
Aus should jus pack their bags one time!

[sharkman121]

Well done Windies... my heart was in my hand for the latter portion of the game. Keep the confidence, on to the next one.

[<=xjemler=>]

That Pakistan game going to be a REALLY tough game indeed.

[trent]

Samuels is outta form and wasting deliveries, hopes he comes good soon or Sammy may need to come in earlier as he strikes the ball pretty good, u don't wanna leave too much for him 2 do.

[mitch1980]

^^^ pakistan will be the decider

[meccalli]

Sorry I had to miss that match with school but YES! I like australia but I wanted faulker to to eat his words. Classic case of backfire smack talk!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

[killercow]

Faulk Australia

That entire celebration after the match
was just to make Faulkner eat his words!
