MikeO Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I did . And then Morgan fails first ball. Again. We should still be OK but the heart rate's crept up a bit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Root batted to the end, Buttler and Roy made the runs. Really worried about Morgan in the final, he hasn't got a run in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's obviously captaining well so, while I agree with your view on his form, there's no way we can/will drop him. If the others play like they have been we only need ten to beat whoever's in front of us anyway . Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 So it's West Indies. What a game that was today! And what a totally incredible tournament it's been; I don't know whose idea T20 was but it was a seriously good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I know the West Indies battered us in the group but I'd rather face them than India, and any time India fail is more than fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Root gone. Hope gone. 111-7 . What an anti-climax unless our bowlers do something special with bat and ball! Tournament deserves a big final. We need to sneak 150/160 to have a sniff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 And second, and third. Screw today, I'm going to bed. Four of the worst balls you'll see. He had 18 runs to play with and they win it with 2 balls to spare. Embarrassing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Stokes didn't try anything different. All four balls were identical. Should have bowled a couple of slow ball bouncers, he could have afforded to risk a bouncer as Braithwaite is about 8 ft tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I've only just realised that I completely missed the first ODI v Sri Lanka on Tuesday (had a long and highly stressful day so was out of the loop). What a finish from Plunkett! Wish I'd seen it. Just clicked in my head watching a bit of today's game they're calling it the second in the series and a light bulb went off in my head, "When was the first one?"

Just clicked in my head watching a bit of today's game they're calling it the second in the series and a light bulb went off in my head, "When was the first one?" it was typical England really - won and lost it a few times during the game. It was some hit by Plunkett though, I was going nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
