Sensible batting and the West Indies win the game.

Shame their two most sensible batsmen, Hope and Pooran, are back in the hutch then...

Enter Carlos... 

[Chiltern Fox]

...so much for the Carlos factor.

Next.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Well that’s that then, West Indies proving themselves to be hopeless, England will have to do it themselves, which in all fairness they shouldn’t have to rely on others to help us qualify for the semis on home soil.

[Chiltern Fox]

India must not get carried away. Windies are a very average side. Aus, England and naya Pakistan be much tougher 

 

...not that eng and pak will both qualify for semis

Not gonna lie i expected more from West Indies... 

[Chiltern Fox]

Point of debate.  Would India throw the game against England to ensure pak dont progress?

The sad demise of a once great cricketing country, they have no backbone, I’m sure there is still some talent there but anything over 20 overs seems too much trouble nowadays

They’d fancy playing and beating Pakistan again, can you imagine the scenes beating them in a SF or final.

True, but pak when they click are very very dangerous. Imo, more than aus, eng, nz and sl.

What a player he is. Such a shame his England career was cut short as he probably had another 3 or four years ahead of him.

West Indies get overrated, because of the bias,in the commentary box.  The ex-players,are so Friendly and non Bias the others commentators Rate their Team

because of it....!!!

One Off Games they can Pull it off, But this generation,with all that talent,just dont have the tournament  discipline. It might be,they Need to sideline Gayle,and tell the ,up and

Coming players Not to Copy him!!!  Their Bowling group are top,but sometimes spend too long spells looking for that Magic ball.!!

Name names then? I find most cricket analysis to be very fair compared to football.

On the whole they are but I’m under the impression Michael Vaughan takes great delight in England failing, he try’s to be controversial but only comes across as quite bitter.

I love listening to Daggers, Holding, Agnew, and the Aussies also make great pundits, it’s just Vaughan, and I expect far better from such a great captain and player.

oh and Bob Willis needs binning!
