Great inning comes to end.
Hmarka will ?e jumping on his bed

Chris Gayle, Pollard please make this chase interesting at least.

 

[pcfan123]

Im at work, but if there was a bed here you are correct

This will be a tough ask and I think England should have it quite easily as long as the bowling is not horrid.

191-5. Pretty happy with that effort. Started to fall apart in the middle, but Morgan and Wright did brilliantly to pull it back. Wright definitely went some way to proving a few people wrong, was a very mature and in the end, powerful innings when we really needed it. I fancy our chances here, it's a good solid total. Just need to get Gayle early.

Too much work to even try to find a way to watch this, stupid Uni.

Anyways, love the kit, like the underarm especially. Bit gay, possibly, but I feel it needed to be said. Hated the red T20 kit, love this one.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

This could be the T20 WC that Eng might just take home if they be consistant

Yup we got owned!!!

Anyone else think the logic behind Sidebottom's inclusion is because of Gayle's recent struggles against Bollinger and left-arm seam in general? Not sure if it'll work or not, as I don't think Sidebottom's anywhere near as good as Dougeh, but it's ITSTL.

Called it. England relying on Sidebottom getting Gayle early. His first delivery was good, but since then it's been pretty dire stuff. The edge over slips deserved to go, the four through cover was asking to be hit and then the wide. Convinced Sidebottom's not good enough anymore.

Gayle Wants To Complete This Fast I Feel

So much for that Sidebottom theory

Relax mate, just one over gone!!

It was never going to work. England were just praying Sidebottom bowled as well as Bollinger has been bowling, but that was not happening. Sidebottom's done nothing for a good 18 months for England, and I'm amazed we've stuck with him. Just keeps getting chances and keeps bowling pie. Lost his nip, bowling the wrong length and can't stay fit. Get Jimmeh or Napier in.
