Stupid shot. Roy out for below 20 again.

You're listening on radio, how well do you know what he did....

Because I'm trusting Aggers' judgment and summary.

 

[DarkSithLord]

182/6 then. Think we around 10 runs short.

Need to get Gayle quickly. Its Small ground. He may have a field day otherwise.

 

[JJH]

Defendable total that.

Felt we have another gear to go too as well, Buttler, Stokes, Hales etc all made starts but didn't make a massive score.

Need to get Gayle cheaply.

 

[SpireiteDan]

Not a bad score by any means but i'd put West Indies just ahead at half-time.

They have hitters all down the order, we just have to try and chip away at the wicket column as often as we can.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Good start. Johnson Charles gone! 2/1.

 

[Ciderhead]

Get Rashid on. We need wickets, uniform pace on a length is going to go

 

[Ciderhead]

Boom! Just like that

 

[Ciderhead]

Oh dear. When Gayle's going like this there's really not much you can do.

Though having said that, we could've varied our pace a bit more, and surprised Rashid's only got 2 overs. But yeah, Gayle's just inhuman

 

[Skinner]

What can you do

 

[DarkSithLord]

Blown away by Gayle.

 

[JJH]

Defendable total that.

West Indies are ranked 2nd in the world I understand.

How is that?

 

[Skinner]

Sri Lanka aren't great, Dilshan rescuing them against Afgan. Yesterday's loss is massive really, as we'll probably lose to SA and then win the rest of our games. Hopefully WI get a sickness bug or something.

[JJH]

NZ beat the Convicts.

2/2 for them so far then.

 

[Skinner]

Some superb death bowling by NZ there.

 

[Ciderhead]

Yes! Won the toss, bowl first. Now we have a chance

 

[hodge]

Same team....

 

[SpireiteDan]

Chris Jordan must have some really incriminating evidence on 1 or 2 people in the coaching set-up.

 

[hodge]

Either that or he's getting it on with Trevor Bayliss

 

[Skinner]

This couldn't have started any worse

 

[JJH]

This is a fucking joke.

Paceless, toothless seam attack with two wayward spinners.

 

[Ciderhead]

This is some of the worst bowling I've ever seen. Feel sorry for Morgan, could have 10 fielders on the boundary and they'd still rip apart this shite

 

[DarkSithLord]

 

[DarkSithLord]

Embarrassing.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Just 230 needed then...

Topley and Jordan should never play for England again.

 

[Skinner]

No chance are we chasing that down. Might as well book our flights now, to think I had high hopes for this bunch.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Wow. Quite the start.
