[JibranAnsari]

Some phainta going on

west indies 99/2 in 9 overs

3 sixes of the previous over off pattison

exciting stuff

[Shahzebayub]

Good hits from smith

[JibranAnsari]

its raining boundaries...

[JibranAnsari]

smith

[Shahzebayub]

Smith gone

[Atif]

200 on the cards here even after Smith's dismissal.

[Shahzebayub]

After south africa they also want to make 200 runs

[JibranAnsari]

Hope they score 200..

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

After 3 wickets, the match has become too sloow, just 15 off last 4 over of which 5 were wdes. not many hitters left either, no russell so they;ll bbe lucky to post 180-190 which looked like 220 plus a while ago. 126/4 13 overs

[Lara400]

Hyatt survives

[Lara400]

Superb entertainment oustide the ground, great pictures

[Lara400]

Thats FOUR, full toss and put away by Hyatt. 133-4

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

good 13th over 10 runs, 134/4

[Lara400]

134-4 after 14

They're gonna need at least 200 I reckon, its a very good batting wicket

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Hyatt gone

[Lara400]

Wickets tumbling too quickly, and the fielder tumbles to latch on to that skier. Hyatt gone

[Lara400]

Samuels in at 7 with 6 overs to go. Bit of work to be done here

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

At the moment, I doubt they can pass 180..

[Lara400]

Bravo doing the right thing here playing it along the ground.

[Lara400]

mmm yeah quite a few of the big hitters are back in the hut, so 180 might be a sound target from here

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Sameuls has a good t20 record, he must be there till the end and they must target doherty if hey want to get anywhere near 180-190

[Lara400]

140-5 after 15

[Lara400]

They are throwing it away here, Samuel gone

[Lara400]

Baugh left now

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Samuels gone, they're dropping like nne pins now, typical implosion by west indies, theyre gonna lose the t-20 series like they lost the ODIs after having the upper hand

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

They shouldn't have changed the batting order, trying to be over smart and it back fired

[Lara400]

180 looking a tough ask now

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

I also hope Sammy doesnt make a mess of his bowling rotation like he did in the last match with Narine etc, gave away 20-30 extra runs

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Originally Posted by lara400 180 looking a tough ask now

Even 12 an over will get them just 189 from now on

[Lara400]

The criticsm from the last game was Pollard came into late, but here they have gone over the top with Pollard coming in at 3 and Sammy I think at 4.

I would of had Pollard at 4 and Sammy around 5 with Samuels at 3.

[Lara400]

Poor Fielding Baugh gets FOUR 150 up

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

rare bad fielding by Australia, might be he difference int he end, welcome boundary

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

West Indies, the poor man's Pakistan recently

[Lara400]

three over left, 30 from here will take them to 180 which might be about par

[Lara400]

Bruce Lee back for some action

[Lara400]

Wow what was Baugh thinking!!

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

He was gone miles out, had that hit, was in a different continent altogether

[Lara400]

Bravos got to slap the white ball around a tad, he's being too nice to it.

[Lara400]

Great crowd super spirit

[Lara400]

Need boundaries!!!!

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

WI can still win it if they get to 175 or so and get the two W's early. I was impressed by Mathurin the last match until Sammy over utilzed him

[Lara400]

Baughs a gonna

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Baugh gone and so have WI's hopes of reaching 170 or 165 even, they must look to play their 20 overs first now

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Bravo gone, like I said, a poor man's Pakistan

[Lara400]

Pathetic by Bravo and WIndies, talk about self destruction

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

11 balls, should play them even for singles, will get them to 165 to 170ish although I pretty much doubt it

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Had the India/SA match not been interrupted would have been quite a match

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Originally Posted by lara400 Pathetic by Bravo and WIndies, talk about self destruction

thats the difference between teams with extreme talent and no teamwork and team with medium talent but perfect teamwork and determination

[Lara400]

First ten overs a different game altogether

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

that looks out

[Lara400]

Last man in

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

yep, run out, can they make it to 165?

[Lara400]

Narine has the look of a tailender who really does not want to be out there

[Lara400]

Originally Posted by AccidentallyOnPurpose yep, run out, can they make it to 165?

They might but I don't think it will be enough. Might be a replay of the last game with Australia cruising it

[Lara400]

All over

[chui_kadoo]

Pretty pathetic performance by WI after a great start. Brainless cricket. When will these players ever learn.

Bravo has been nothing but pathetic all series. Atrocius batting by hime throughout the series. Calamity cricket at its best

After that start they should have got 185 minumum.

Aussies will win this with ease

[chui_kadoo]

They badly need Gayle

[chui_kadoo]

Even the ODI series they should have won. They needed 1 off 3 balls and guess what they had a brain fart. Brainless at its best

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Thats been the difference between the two teams during the whole series so far all the games have had one brilliant exceptional performance by the WI as opposed to AUS contributing as a whole team. WI have never looked like a team. Lets see if the bowlers can pull something off.

[chui_kadoo]

why is Marlon Samuels in the team. Such an experienced player and yet so rubbish

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Originally Posted by chui_kadoo They badly need Gayle

I think they got the start they wouldve gotten had Gayle played, One man can't win every match.

[chui_kadoo]

Most of the WI batsmen are mentally in disciplined. They need sort that out if they want to improve

[chui_kadoo]

Gayle would have got a 100 on this pitch and against this attack and hence game set and match

[munna_]

Aussies are looking good for the world t20 ... good balanced side!
they'll be struggling in the spin department in srilanka though i think

[chui_kadoo]

Not really they are bowling poorly. Dishing up pies. WI should have made them pay

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

I really hope Pakistan get a series in the next month or so otherwise it looks a boring next 4 to 5 months. 3 months till the Euro cup too *le sigh

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Only team looking Good in both bowling AND batting are SA, Eng and Pak and Australia to an extent, INd and Sri Lanka have no bowling attack to speak off and glimpses or brilliance from the other teams but no real consistency

[Lara400]

Warner and Pollard having a confrontation without a ball being bowled

[Lara400]

Fidel Edwards back, lads got a bit of pace.

[Lara400]

Clocking 142kph already, super delivery

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

good start so far

[munna_]

what brilliant fielding!

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

great stop, this could make the difference

[Lara400]

Superb save by Dwayne

[munna_]

a very good start by the west indian sami ...

[Lara400]

Beaten for pace

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[munna_]

he strikes big time on his comeback

[Lara400]

Gone!!!
