Ouch. That looks like the end of tournament for Roy. Looks like a hamstring.

Gayle really is a terrible runner between the wickets :lol:

Inzamam ul-Haq levels.
He's a huge bloke. Must weigh over a 100kg, so I'm guessing it's not easy for him to run a lot between wickets.

Roy hurt and now Gayle starting to blast. WI seem to have some wind in their sails, let's see how England react.

Sucks for England, I guess Hales will come in? Hardly a big downgrade.
Doubt it. Hales has pissed on his chips. Guess they'll stick with Vince and try and get Roy fit. Next game's against Afghanistan and then Sri Lanka, so they'll have a week and a half to try and repair whatever damage he's done to himself.

If Roy can't come back I honestly don't know who England will pick. Would you trust Denly as an opener against an elite side? If not you're looking at someone from the county game (can only think of Livingstone tbh) and they haven't even played for the one-day side.

Could experiment and put Moeen as opener, he doesn't do much at the lower end these days.
