fuchsntf Posted 22 June 2019 Posted 22 June 2019 Windies,again showing ...players haven't the patience or discipline,to hold their bat,and play the game as it developes ....sit in for 5-10 overs score slowly,when enough overs are left...
fuchsntf Posted 22 June 2019 Posted 22 June 2019 No..no..no!! Poor Carlos Braithwaite & windies!!! England run chase failed,AFG run chase failed. ....W.Indies run chase failed....chases all teams should of Won..!!! All guilty of wrong shot selection from high order players,also outside Braithwaite,lower order not playing to the moment....I Even the teams that won,were also lucky!!! Their batsman got out of jail..!!
Finnegan Posted 22 June 2019 Posted 22 June 2019 Gotta say credit where its due that's a phenomenal effort from Carlos Braithwaite.
Voll Blau Posted 23 June 2019 Posted 23 June 2019 Probably the best game I've ever watched live. Great atmosphere which in the end, I think, got to Brathwaite. I think most would have been tempted to end it that way though if they'd been hitting it like he had and had a complete bunny at the other end. Nerves of steel from Boult too. Thought for all the world he was going over the rope. Hope the Kiwis win it if we don't. Was chatting to some Windies fans on the tram back to Piccadilly, asking why the likes of Campbell, Narine and Bishoo weren't considered. They were baffled. Not saying any of those would be the solution, but they've been one consistent performer away from having a side which would have genuinely challenged for this World Cup. Imagine the week we'd be looking forward to now if those two results had gone the other way yesterday...
Finnegan Posted 23 June 2019 Posted 23 June 2019 Maybe the occasion got to him but at the end of the day it's what was working for him, it was pretty much there to be hit and there wasn't much in it. Obviously a Williamson, a Kohli or a Smith is going to hope to make light work of six in a final over, but Braithwaite doesn't have their talent for finding the gaps with precision. He's after something to club and he saw a chance. They wouldn't have gotten that close without his knock.
StanSP Posted 23 June 2019 Author Posted 23 June 2019 Just caught up on how WI/NZ ended. Gutted for Braithwaite. That kind of innings deserved a happier ending. Tournament slowly coming back to life after a dull period following rain-affected games? Last 3 games have been great for the neutral. Really is a shame it's not been free to air so that more people can be properly exposed to how good this tournament can be. Pakistan off to an absolute flyer this morning...

Good management of the tailenders after Roach went and proper hitting. The six over backward point was unreal.
Chiltern Fox Posted 23 June 2019 Posted 23 June 2019 I cant see sa doing this. The pak seamers will be hostile and have tails up.
StanSP Posted 23 June 2019 Author Posted 23 June 2019 Feel like Du Plessis had to stay in to give SA a chance here. Wickets fallen quickly since being 90-1. There was no need to take such a risk against a player like Amir. He's not their weak link.

StanSP Posted 23 June 2019 Author Posted 23 June 2019 Amir's not been hit for one boundary at all today
