T20 Cricket World Cup

A respectable, if not adequate, score.

160 to chase, which the Windies batting power should manage without too much trouble.

Let's see how Morgan manages his bowlers, and if he gets his field placings right.

Yup - We are already aware that the fat lady is a tart

England fried by scoreboard pressure - not what is on it but what might be on it - hardly surprising after that first match

I'm in a Heathrow lounge watching the interval discussion. Either BA will pull their usual trick and I'll get to see a few overs, or else I'll be in Munich at a sensible time and discover how embarrassing the loss is when I get to my hotel.

 

[Dayvo]

F***k me!

Root opens the bowling and, a la Kohli, gets a wicket 1st ball. Funny old game!

 

[psmiffy]

Charles 0 c stokes bowled Root

Edit got confused in all the excitement

 

[psmiffy]

Told you - Fat Lady is a tart - Gayle out now - Root 2 wickets in three - Luck of the Irish or brilliant - answers on a postcard

 

[Dayvo]

F***k me!

Root opens the bowling and gets a wicket 3rd ball. Funny old game!

 

[psmiffy]

Bugger. Gate open. I think I might just finish my tonic water (lo-cal) before wandering downstairs.

 

[Dayvo]

I'm lost for words.

Cancel your flight. Willey's trapped Samuels now.

EDIT: Correction: Simmons.

Unreal

 

[John the Monkey]

Lordy. Do we have a game on?

I'm flicking between Guardian obo and Google's automatic updates while standing in a boarding queue...

...and more of the people in the queue than usual are looking at phones. They can't all be supporters of Oxford or Barnsley?
