We're currently 31-0 after 7 overs, chasing 284 to beat Trinidad. After losing first up to Barbados (hardly a poor result - we were basically playing a full WI team), we probably do need to win this to have any chance of progressing.
 
131-2 to 208 all out with four overs unbowled. Narine with 3-22 from his 10 overs.

Played two, lost two.
 
Maxwell given not out after review of a catch. Even the Aussie commentator is saying it was out....the usual problem of distortion in slo-mo. As the commentator said, the umpire should have given out without a review....suggesting they are chickening out of decisions because video evidence is available. They do this with run outs...refuse to call even when obviously nowhere near in. Lesson to be learnt from this for football....don't want refs checking all the time....because slow motion often doesn't help and also can take a long time for a decision.
 
70-4 (why do they insist in putting the score round the wrong way in Australia....thank heavens we are not 4-70). This is going to be a crap morning....was looking forward to an enjoyable start to the day....followed by the rugby later. :(
