  • Extreme athleticism for such a big lad

    6-2
  • 47-3

    danger man Pooran gone
  • Well that was one hell of a decision to not give that out originally

    50-4
  • This Umpire is having a tough day at the office - second successful review for Rashid

    55-5
  • Holder caught and bowled Moeen. Start the car up

    57-6
  • Mike said:
    Another great innings by Morgan 
    Dropped a couple too
  • Jordan goes for 23 in an over

    134-8 off 18
  • Unbelievable ending
  • 28 off the final over and the Windies finish on 170-8 so we win by 1 run which sounds and is a lot closer than it should have been. In fact, we got away with one ball that should have been called a wide in that over!

  • At least Mahmood didn't bowl a no ball.
  • Far more exciting than it ought to have been. 
  • How to make a win feel like a defeat by England cricket
  • Made a right pig's ear of that ! 
  • We have to take into account that we are playing the team that is sitting at the bottom of the T20 ranking but the Windies do have some good prospects coming through if they can harness that talent.
  • Wow. Having got in late, and looking at the one sided nature of the scorecard an hour ago, I didn't bother watching this as it would be an easy, and unexciting England win...

    The Windies needed 30 off the final over. They managed 28 but the one dot ball could have easily been called a wide. From Cricinfo commentary:

    Mahmood to Hosein, no run

    Attacking the wide line, and Hosein is a bit miffed that that wasn't called as well. With some reason...

    That run plus the extra ball would have meant curtains for us.

    Same here, canters.

    My monthly sub runs out on 6th Feb so I'll have access to this Wednesday's match, & the final 2 on Saturday & Sunday. 

    Lucky old me ! Or not....
  • If anyone hasn't heard of 18 year old Jacob Bethell you will do! This lad is a real talent - someone who has every chance of opening for England in both red and white ball.

    Born and raised in Barbados until the age of 12, his grandfather played for Barbados and his father for one to the top clubs in Yorkshire, Sheffield Collegiate. He is now professionally contracted to Warwickshire and has played for them in all forms of the game already. He cuts, he drives, he pulls off the front foot but his biggest gift is that he picks up length so quickly.

    For England today, chasing 210 to beat South Africa in the U19 WC QF, he shared an opening stand of 110 off 10.4 overs. Bethell was out for 88 off 42 while George Thomas had the best seat in the house on 18* (22). 

    England reached their target for the loss of 4 wickets with 18.4 overs to spare. Bethell effectively ruined the game as a contest. Oh and he also bowls left arm spin picking up 1-31 off 7 today.

    Looking forward to seeing England in the semis and more of Bethell.
  • I think this is the kid some fella at Rugby school was telling me about in the summer when my sons team were based there for a couple of days .
  • Rain delays the start of the 3rd T20.
  • There could be 3 T20 debuts today, George Garton, Harry Brook  and Phil Salt
  • Eng won toss & bowl.
  • No Morgan or Billings

    That would have been him as he is at Rugby School

    Just the five changes in total.

    Morgan pulled up lame in the warm up and Billings is ill so Banton will keep. Saqib, Jordan and Dawson rested too so Livingstone and Topley are in addition to the three debutants. Looks like Salt will bat at 7 which he probably doesn't do too often but that's not a surprise because I think that he and the other six batsmen have all opened in white ball
  • Good ball from Garton but poor bit of premeditation from King.

    Remember the days when we couldn't find a left arm seamer for love or money. We have three in this side and the likes of Willey and Sam Curran if necessary too.
