Windies are hit and miss. Get Gayle out early and you'll win 9/10 times. Gayle goes and gets 70 from 30 balls and yore in trouble. India ia will be a much closer game I think, their spinners may cause us more trouble though especially on home soil. Id fancy us against Windies more than India.
Yeah.. windies have won toss. Hopefully they win the Goyle brain facts and we get to chase 50 runs to win
I thought at the time before work got in the way that windies had done a good job and had a big chance india really piled it on in last 4 overs so it was a bigger chase than i expected again though it was about chase and contain not wickets but gayle went cheap and windies still won Should be a good final. windies know the pitch so i think toss is all important. I think the styles suit more. I think rashid can blow flat and contain and stokes and jordan can help there. Its just a question of score isn't it... england can have confidence that barring stupidity they have the batting to match them...
Get Gayle early and stand a chance. If he does what he did today and set a platform or what he did against us in the first game then we'll be in trouble.
Nerves can play a part. Hopefully players like Roy do what they did in semi. Just play good shots and don't over play
Both teams will want to chase. Windies strength is in their batting so send them out first and force their bowlers under pressure to go win them the game.
WI win the toss and bowl first. Not ideal, both teams would have wanted to chase. Time for England to try set a decent target then.
Looked a good pitch, the women made 150 and were probably a bit short so for the men you'd think 180 would be minimum.
180 won't do it for me, you can try bowl at it but you need to have guys going at 10 and over and above here which requires throwing bat at it. 180 would be 9 an over but i feel as though if you are tipping along with wickets in hand you can get that in last 5 overs buy smashing it. I think it'll be decided by one or w=two wickets.... england cannot afford a big swishing bat missing the ball (morgan) or hales to not score at at least a run a ball. roy and buttler are key first up. sotkes hasn't delivered a huge one and he's a big game player so he might deliver finally... morgan? doubt it. it'd take a quick 20 off him. Hopefully we will have a couple guys over 50 and the rest chipping in. be nice to see us have 5 wickets in hand at end and all but will we? pray for Roy. love to see him come out and just clip first ball for 4 with a timed shot and then just go on ....
The National Anthem's really sum up the two countries... WI's proper upbeat and fun.. Ours... proper dull and boring
Disaster and game over almost immediately. Will need a huge huge innings NOW. Root in and we must must get going. Another wicket now and it's over.
Yup gone and this is total nightmare. We are now looking for our best two guys now in with 3 overs on and hoping to God they don't get done. Morgan is in and he's got to do something
