Just wanna point out I lol'd the 'game over' posts when WI had like 50-2

If Windies beat us on Sunday, then Afghanistan can say they beat the World Champs in the same tournament.0

Oh my god I lost radio signal as they picked Kohli for the last over and it's just come back on. Teach me for smarting over the shipping forecast crew!0

Must admit, didnt think Windies had a chance.1

Awesome performance from the West Indies to chase that score down but I still back us to beat them in the Final with us ideally batting second.
The only downside being Gayle is now probably due another score.0 -
Should be a great final, their batting lineup looks really dangerous, but I don't think they're bowling is as good0

WI bowling is very good for T20. Bravo is a master, Badree too. Russell is improved, Benn handy. Brathwaite can go for plenty. I'd suggest England need to target all of them though0

I enjoy seeing India get beaten in their own backyard. Almost as much as seeing the Aussies get beaten in theirs.
Indian cricket fans talk down to the rest of the world about the game as if none of us are fit to lace their boots. They're very big on claiming to be purists and loving the game for what it is, but there'll be a bloody large number of Indians who won't bother watching the final now.1 -
As i said earlier on this thread, you get 'Gayled' maybe once in every 6 innings - to have it happen twice in a row is downright unlucky and unlikely to happen. England will bowl differently to him than last time - they will have learnt their lesson and bowl more outside outside off, and not in his hitting arc.MartinCAFC said:Awesome performance from the West Indies to chase that score down but I still back us to beat them in the Final with us ideally batting second.

You know what bugs me the most re Indian cricket and their fans is their arrogant refusal of DRS - when anyone with any grey matter knows it is better for the game - i think when they came over here they had 2 people given out lbw off inside edges in the first test - did i larf !!2 -
Yes but we can say that we only lost once in the tournament and they lost twice. Plus we could say that, in hindsight, the first game between the two sides was nothing more than a warm up because we got through despite losing to them ;-)Chizz said:

Yep I actually had your 'Gayled' comments in mind when I wrote that but since then the West Indies have played 5 more games, think Gayle only 3 of them? My point is since we played he's not scored many other runs so he may be 'due' another score but I agree we won't bowl that badly again to him in the Final and would be happy if we can get him out for anything less than 40.The_President said:

Athers makes a good point - only 2 no-balls were given - which were both replays on catches - so, how many others were missed/not given by the umpires ?!1
-
Andre Russell has really come on leaps and boundaries.0
-
Not that it matters, but it's typical that the MoM goes to someone on the winning side instead of the best performer Kohli, who almost won the match single handed for India! Indeed, he must have sore shoulders from having to carry the whole team...

A lot more. They push it do India, Bumrah's action itself is a shade questionable at times. Didn't fancy India for the tourn as much as others, they got lucky too many times and theres only so many times a batsman can bail you out. W.Indies chased that down essentially without Gayle, had he got going they'd of done it with 5 to spare, shows the power of their batting.The_President said:Athers makes a good point - only 2 no-balls were given - which were both replays on catches - so, how many others were missed/not given by the umpires ?!

I can never understand why bowlers have to cut it so fine when bowling. Surely they can be consistently 6 inches back. Cost the Indians quite a lot maybe the game.1

Wonder what might have happened if Kohli hadnt touched the rope when he 'caught' Simmons? zero and out instead of 6 runs. Fine lines.0
