The Cricket Thread

I wish I was suffering in the Caribbean

 

Strange that the Caribbean Tests attract so many England fans.

 

England 164-1 after 22 overs Target 361
Jason Roy hits a 6 to get his ton.

 

Roy out for 123 off 85 balls. Great knock.

 

England doing well....hope losing Roy doesn't change everything. Probably not as England good in depth for batting....though of course if Saints were a cricket team, they'd be England.

 

If only the Windies could field

 

England 284-2 Need 77 from 72 balls.

Morgan out 65 ; 321-3

 

Root gets his ton.

 

Root caught for 102. England need 1 run.
England 364-4....win by 6 wickets.

 

Highest ever ODI chase by England. Another road awaits them on Friday, should be fun!

 

England won toss and chose to field. Obviously feel confident that they can run down any score....throwing the gauntlet down. All depends if Gayle gets set in or not.

 

Rashid bowls Gayle for 50. Windies 98-2

Windies may miss Gayle or they may start scoring faster.

 

2 Run outs. Windies 207-5 after 39 overs.

 

289 - 6 the Hitmeister got 104 50 Overs

 

Windies finish on 289-6 thanks to Hetmyer century....and a bit of help from England's bowlers with 26 extras!!
A bigger target than it looked like it was going to be. England need to be steady and all will be well....but this is England we are talking about.

 

Bairstow out first ball!

 

10 _ 2

 

England cricket team showing how to do Brexit!

 

Adding insult to injury there. Stokes survives a caught behind review and the umpire calls a wide!

 

Morgan out for 70
159-4
