WestIndies collapsing. There is a twist in the tale.


There is a twist in the tale as WestIndies are collapsing under pressure . The pressure was never on WestIndies but due to some good fielding and wonderful bowling in the depth . Flintoff created huge pressure for Sarwan and Bravo as they were not allowed to score and the singles were cut out as the field was closing in . WestIndies were certainly feeling the pressure now as they were finding it hard to score runs. England were bowling beautifully with a controlled line and length from Flintoff and some aggressive bowling by Monty Panesar from the other end. Panesar finally got the reward when Sarwan who was under huge pressure to score runs went down the track and tried to hit Monty over the infield but Monty spun the ball a bit more and Sarwan missed it completely and Read did a fantastic job behind the stumps to stump Sarwan. That was a huge wicket for England and now the inexperience with the bat is starting for West Indies as Morton walks in . But that was not yet over Monty struck once again as D.Bravo was trapped in front of the stumps . England are right back in the match as Monty got two crucial wickets as both the set batsmen are out. Last match Monty did the same against the Aussies and he has repeated that once again. England still have a chance as West Indies are crumbling under pressure.

great bowling from monster keep up the great work and we may have a chance of winning
 
WestIndies need 4 runs in 6 balls, Flintoff will bowl the last over


Its a really crunchy situation in the match as WestIndies are batting nicely and are sneaking in with single but they are working really hard for that as England are not geining away easy runs . Today the fielding of England side is brilliant and we now also they are not giving away the singles . R.Morton and M.Samuels are there in the middle and are not giving away their wickets and are working really hard for their runs. R.Morton is batting nicely and is scoring at run-a-ball which Windies require at this stage and M.Samuels is playing nicely and is batting on 10 runs in 11 balls. Both the batsmen took their chances and got two crucial boundaries which WestIndies needed but still the match is not yet over and it has gone down to the last over. England captain A.Flintoff is going to ball the last over of the match and WestIndies require just 4 runs to win and M.Samuels is on strike . Flintoff has to pick wickets and he is really a great bowler to bowl in the depth. Watch out for the fast yorkers . Flintoff has won the match for England in the last over many times and now he has to do that again but Pressure is on both the teams lets see which team absorbs the pressure here.Stay Tuned as the most crucial last over is coming up.

Windies have been pegged back now and I think England have the momentum going into the last over and I think they'll win it :D

West Indies should win this! C'mon! Whooo!

I second that! Still an easy win for Windies ahead with 5 wkts remaining!
 
I reckon that if They set a defensive field Eng will win so im giong to go with England despite the current batsman having good strike rates!
