West Indies v England (First ODI of three) at The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua

[Titanic]

45-4 Bravo LBW to Moeen Ali... first ODI wicket for him!

Reviewed but hitting leg stump... so it stays OUT.

 

[OzMike]

Ravi is much better though. 'Shit' is a bit unfair.

I had to endure him 'playing' in the Big Bash here.....................................s**t.

 

[OzMike]

Looks like Windies will get a low score, so when hero Ravi gets out for between 4 and 12 it will be ok.

 

[vegster]

How bad must the Windies be these days ? add to that barely scoring 3 an over. Sir Viv must be ashamed.

Please god say that isnt so ! i must of misheard the team ffs

Antigua brings back happy memories. Wed on the beach.........cracking times.

 

[Titanic]

57-4 (20 overs)

 

[Titanic]

Well, that was a DULL 15 overs... 112-4 (35 overs)

Mandatory batting power play might wake things up a little.

 

[Titanic]

FFS Jordan, STOP playing well for England.

He is clearly listening to you... 13 off that over... 7-0-36-0 (when the average strike rate is 3.7)

 

[Titanic]

Big wicket... Bresnan breaks the partnership between Bravo and Simmons... 153-5 (39.5 overs)

Poor shot at the end of the power play... splices it to Moeen Ali at cover.

 

[Badger]

He is clearly listening to you... 13 off that over... 7-0-36-0 (when the average strike rate is 3.7)

That's more like it

 

[Titanic]

Broad goes for 10... 168-5 (42 overs)

230-240 would be plenty to chase on this wicket.

 

[Titanic]

He is clearly listening to you... 13 off that over... 7-2-36-0 (when the average strike rate is 3.7)

and another one from CJ, including 3 rank offside wides goes for 10... 8-2-46-0

179-5 (44 overs)

 

[Mackenzie]

That is a lot of trust to bowl Root this late...tidy over though.

 

[Titanic]

That is a lot of trust to bowl Root this late...mmmmm

Nothing from Stokes or Bopara... Broad has quite a lot of options... and sticks with Root who has been parsimonious to say the least...

8-2-24-1

 

[Giraffe]

Nothing from Stokes or Bopara... Broad has quite a lot of options... and sticks with Root who have been parsimonious to say the least...

8-2-24-1

Bloody impressive. Can't help but think the Ausssies would have really gone after him though.

 

[Titanic]

Bravo and Sammy finally PILE into Bresnan... 16 from the over...

200-5 (46 overs)

 

[Mackenzie]

Nothing from Stokes or Bopara... Broad has quite a lot of options... and sticks with Root who has been parsimonious to say the least...

8-2-24-1

Luke hasn't bowled either.

 

[Titanic]

Root gets a ninth over... can he keep a lid on it... or will they get after him?

 

[Bold Seagull]

Very good batting from the Windies. Trying to stick to the bygone strategy of no matter where you are bat out your overs. Can't help thinking England would have panicked in the same position and probably been all out within 40 overs in the same position. It's not going to be a massive score, but from where they were, this is an impressive fight back to at least put some pressure on.

 

[Janbha]

No .
