Re: England Cricket Thread 2018
Seriously need wickets to get into the tail...this is just ludicrous from Gayle.
Bowling in one dayers is becoming proper soul destroying.

Re: England Cricket Thread 2018
2 quick wickets from Rashid. Reckon he’s won it for us here, I did actually think the Windies were on for chasing the total at one point.
As I type, he gets another one...

Re: England Cricket Thread 2018
One eye on the football and one on the cricket.... 
Insane match, 418 and it was still squeaky bum time. Great stuff from Hales, Bairstow, Morgan and Buttler with the bat and Wood and Rashid with the ball who got a few of the others off the hook to he honest.

What a game that was! as much as I want us to win everytime I just wanted to keep watching Gayle hitting the ball all over the park, Buttler & Gayles innings were truly just wow.
Agreed Wood & Rashid got us out of that.
f*** being a bowler in white ball cricket when it's set up for the batsman!

Re: England Cricket Thread 2018
From the road of the other day, the 5th ODI seems to be being played on a decent Test wicket. Lots for the bowlers this time. England 57-3 off 11.

Re: England Cricket Thread 2018
England playing calypso collapso once again. Just cannot handle the bounce.
113 all out.

Re: England Cricket Thread 2018
Woakes - shocking. WI chasing 113 and he goes for 39 in two overs. Brutal from Gayle though (Wood bowled a maiden in his over) .

Re: England Cricket Thread 2018
Gayle is really a freak of nature, the short game will be poorer when he retires later this year. Amazing knock.

Re: England Cricket Thread 2018
Just abject all round. Couldn't handle the pitch at all.
Cant help thinking if we want to win the WC we are lacking a bit in the bowling department. Need to hope Wood can stay fit and Woakes rediscovers his mojo as he's been tonked around the park a lot lately.

Re: England Cricket Thread 2018
Once again the problem with out batsmen is brutally highlighted. They cannot adapt.
Once we were 4 down they need to accept 300 is gone and aim for 250, to at least give themselves a chance. Yet they keep on being aggressive and get blown away.
I have doubts we will win the WC.
