Not that they need him today but it's sad there's no Pooran in West Indies' team.

And Sunil Narine.

This is West Indies at their best. Pure power hitting from Hetmyer. 

Very strong and powerful innings from a number of the West Indians.

 

Mind you Hetmyer was dropped on 9 which proved so costly for Zimbabwe.

Adil Rashid with some brilliant spin bowling here. 

[Super_horns]

After the other day not making too many predictions mid innings!

 

Maybe this is Buttler's time to shine?

[leicsmac]

165 to chase.

 

About even money imo. 

[RowlattsFox]

 Brill start.

 

Salt really is feast or famine, literally no attempt to give it a ball or two. 

 

Brave call to bring Brook up the order when it's the first over. Maybe should've been Banton as a he's an opener.

Buttler having a shocker of a tournament 

[theessexfox]

Think Buttler may be done, you can see it in his eyes 

[st albans fox]

Could be interesting 

They havent brought on the spinners yet 

 

maybe need to beat NZ to reach the semis 

[leicsmac]

This is the Brook we want to see.

Winning this match guarantees a semi final spot no matter what.

Is Brook the most outright talented batter since Lara/Tendulkar maybe even Bradman if we forgive him for having cheese for brains???

Who is better?

[RowlattsFox]

Lot of pressure on Curran and Jacks again. 

With this top order so unreliable, we probably another proper batsmen.

Smith, Williamson, Kholi, Root, Kallis, Ponting, are ahead. Probably a few more too. Way too early to judge him yet.

Tariq throws the ball rather than bowling it. I said what I said.

Yeah this. 

Time is probably a big factor in that label. But there's plenty of players that have played the game who are extremely talented and have the numbers and years to back it up.

I said forgiving he has cheese for brains. These guys are ALL less talented but also a lot more cognitively capable.

I think his arm is straight. 

It's just that he delays releasing, similar to a penalty taker when he strikes the ball after delaying. 

[Lionator]

This guy is a total cheat the way he bowls

Maybe, even so it's all about opinions though.

He’s a disgrace. No wonder Modi banned them from India 

[RowlattsFox]

I don't think Root is a long term t20 answer but in these conditions, he needs to be in there. 

[Lionator]

Worst England team of all time yet will still make it further than India HAHAHA

[Lionator]

BEST ALL FORMAT PLAYER ON EARTH
