England in West Indies

[Dare]

We all know dare is a fast bowling monster.

o you know it. I just go in a phone booth and come out all ready.

 

[King Pietersen]

Pace off the ball seems the way forward on this track. Both Rav and KP finding it hard to generate enough pace on the ball to find the boundary. They've bowled well at Bopara, sticking the ball outside off-stump, not allowing him to play that big flick of his pads. He's trying it, but just can't seem to get the right ball. If England can get 170-180 on here it should be a good score, Dimi and Colly will be vital on this track.

There we go Rav, gets the length he wants and there comes the trademark Bopara stroke. I tell ya, this lads going to be a star!

King Pietersen added 11 Minutes and 11 Seconds later...

Bugger, KP gone. Ends a poor series for him, 48 being his top score. Might boost his average a little, but Dhoni's already gone well ahead Desperately need Ravi to keep going.

If Sammy didn't catch that, then he cheated. It wasn't as if it was a split-second thing. He should have at least asked for a review if he wasn't sure.

 

[Ollie_H]

I know you say it has been a poor series for him but I hope you mean by his standards because he has actually been England's second highest run scorer.

Player  	Mat  	Inns  	NO  	Runs  	HS  	Ave  	100  	50  	0
AJ Strauss 	14* 	19 	2 	1033 	169 	60.76 	5 	3 	1
KP Pietersen 	13* 	15 	1 	691 	103 	49.35 	2 	4 	0
PD Collingwood 	12* 	12 	0 	602 	161 	50.16 	2 	3 	0
AN Cook 	8 	14 	2 	554 	139* 	46.16 	1 	6 	2
MJ Prior 	13* 	15 	4 	439 	131* 	39.90 	1 	2 	2

I also think he's 3rd highest run scorer?

 

[Dare]

I think he meant this ODI series.

 

[King Pietersen]

A poor ODi series I meant. 1 score above 20 isn't good enough, and I'm sure he'll strive to improve on that at home.

Bopara gone as well Has played well in this series but just not gone on to get a big score, Bopara gone for 44.

King Pietersen added 5 Minutes and 15 Seconds later...

This is falling apart. Shah's been in poor form, and it's continued into the ODi series. Bopara has to be the man to play in England and probably into the Ashes. England now 107-4. Not looking good.

 

[Dare]

Good stuff from Benn, a wicket or 2 and his spot should be sealed in the ODI team.

KP I cant hear you, what you been saying about Shiv.

 

[King Pietersen]

This is going from bad to worse. No chance of getting to 200, be lucky to get to 160 now.

 

[The_gas]

Same old same old.

 

[Dare]

I just dont like that Gayle is leaving Fidel for so late, or does he not plan on bowling him anymore.

 

[Sureshot]

172-5, WI need 173 to win.

We have a chance, I'd favour WI, but the big factor is Gayle. Prior and Colly finishing off well, 60 run partnership. Damaged by Benn, again.

 

[King Pietersen]

At least we've given ourselves a chance. Need Dimi and Colly to bowl well, and get Gayle early. Hopefully our pace bowlers will bowl as well as Rampaul, and not get spanked about like Edwards was.

King Pietersen added 7 Minutes and 20 Seconds later...

Get in there, Gayle gone early. Just what we needed!

 

[Dare]

bahahah why not hand them the win Chris...

 

[evertonfan]

I'd just like to say that Sammy is a right ****** for claiming that catch. A bit late I know, but he well cheated.

Well played so far boys. This is a Geeves-esque performance.

 

[Dare]

Yea when you look at the angle from just the side of him you can see the ball bounce. KP should have stood his ground.

All kinds of trouble for WI now.


The powerplay will be the key. 20+ runs of those 2 overs and the game could shift.
