Joe Root's International Cricketer of the Year, I notice.

The quicks were bowling far too short on a slow wicket, don't think the result was ever in any real doubt though.
Rashid wasn't half getting revs on the ball, great to watch

 

[Dogtrousers]

totally agree........good job they won, otherwise they would have been scarred by that if they had lost it in that manner

England and Wales cricket is one big mess of scar tissue already.

Did anyone watch the 2nd T20 against the West Indies, we nearly threw an almost impossible to lose position away?

Good stuff, and was it Hosein didn't take the single in penultimate over? What a nugget. A wins a win and I'll take it after our long game fiasco.
Looking forward to wednesday.

it was hosein, but if he had taken the single, he wouldnt have then been able to hit 3 sixes on the bounce.........

A huge score from the west indies in this 3rd T20 match………England need 225 to win.

Game on

Not looking good right now, need 85 from 36 balls, I doubt we'll do what they did when in a similar situation in the second match.

Yup they fall 20 short, but a good effort to be fair

Not bad, Banton and Salt looked good, not seen them play before? Not sure Moeen makes the best Cap in the world but Morgan back for saturdays game?

yeh back to back games on the weekend. have to be honest Moeen's wicket was a shocker for a top order batsman, his feet were in concrete i think. Banton, salt and Roy all looked good, but we do still see middle order collapses, when again we are in a good position to kick on and win games.........i think after 15 overs england were 155-5 and West indies were 155-2.....so those last five overs could have bee used better by england, as they were by with windies

 

[jowwy]

194 for england of their 20…….75 runs coming in the last 5, with mooen ali hitting 28 off the 18th over and 18 off the 19th for a quick flash 63 off 28 balls

 

[Grant Fondo]

Missed the Eng innings as forgot to record, doh! Ah, just got King, noice.

 

[Grant Fondo]

WI need 14 an over now, tall order?

 

[Chromatic]

I forgot about this, I was watching snooker, just turned over to watch, we should win from here, they need 60 from 23 balls.
