    Oh dear Stokes. Oh dear oh dear. Brutal hitting but those balls said "HIT ME A LONG WAY" all over them.

    Fair play to Brathwaite but shocking from Stokes who is normally so good

    Stokes only had to mix it up a bit...he bowled four hitable balls in the slot in a row...

    Fair play to the young giant. Awesome play.

    Gutted for England, but at least it will breathe some life back into that fantastic cricketing nation.

    Yep.

    West Indies won at U19 level, as well as with the women and the men.

    Thatbis what the Windies can do, they are full of power players and that is without Pollard who is in the studio. They have match winners throughout their team in 20/20

    A bit like Leicester earlier if there was anyone I'm not heartbroken to lose to it is the Windies.

    Any way, if Billings had taken that catch and we had hit with at least one of our three run-out chances, then that final over could have been an irrelevance. WI didn't make one single error in the field. We did.

    I'm not blaming Stokes for that final over. He's still very new to death bowling, and batsmen are allowed to hit boundaries. Gutting though.

    We did well to make it exciting after posting such a poor score, but deeply disappointed to lose after getting it to 19 off last over.

    Not blaming Billings at all.

    He didn't drop it, he slipped before the ball came to him.


    Runouts unfortunate, would be interesting to know if the one that Jordan intercepted was going to hit or not......

    But to keep bowling the same length in that final over is poor. After the first six he should have changed tactic.
