ICC World T20
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
Another one
Bye bye aussies
If you were ever going to bet on an over going for 6 6s then that would be the one, last over, Gayle and Pollard set, Doherty bowling.
Doherty is the gift that keeps on givingGiving the last over to Doherty
at the last over.The best paced International T20 innings I have seen. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful batting from West Indies. Was an absolute pleasure to watch.
As a neutral, results works either way for me, If Australia can beat this target, we will see an even better innings, if not, we get to see the Calypso boys one more time in the final!

25 runs and very nearly 31, had Pollard timed that last shot just abit better!!
At this level of T20, during the final four overs, every single ball is 'an event'.
Unlike before when you paced an innings by overs, its seems in the last few overs, every single ball has huge possibilities.

Bye, bye Aussies.
Aussies have completely blown it...
Game over. Aussies all out for less than 150 methinks.
WI - Sri Lanka in the final. So much for the group of death
That sums up the Aussies.
I'd like to see the windies win the final.

another oneI thought Pakistan's batting was bad, this is truly awful.
Edit: 6 down
West Indies scored 55 runs from last 18 balls (3 overs) and 92 from last 36 balls (6 overs)
The scoring sequence for last 18 balls was: 214104 601442 616660
Astonishing acceleration!!!

Nice cameo from Bailey.
25 off that Russell over.

Bailey not willing to give up yet.

rampaulVery good effort bailey. With that any slight chance they had of winning is gone.
very enjoyable innings from Bailey ... wanted him to get a century.
I enjoy the attitude with which WI play the game -- well, I guess everyone does.. but it's just awesome to watch
why does Russell wear his shades on the back? Surely it's easier leaving them in the dressing room
at the celebrations. Terrific performance, should be a good final. I hope windies win but I think SL will sneak it.
SL have to be favourites, but it helps the WI that that they have met SL once already and lost. They'll know what to put right, at least.
They're very good for Cricket.
They're captained by a man who is probably the most likable man in cricket.
Does he deserve his place as a player? Probably not. Kemar Roach would have been a superb addition to their bowling. But Sammy's been criticized by everyone over the past year and bit, turns up and bowls long, long economical spells in test cricket and just goes about playing his game with a laugh and a smile.
I was at Chepauk when India played WI in the WC and in true West Indian style, he was always having a laugh with the crowd.
I remember when India played WI last year in tests.. Dravid got an inside edge off a spinner that almost bounced onto the stumps, but kicked it over with some nifty footwork. Turned around and Sammy takes a couple of steps from silly point to high five Dravid.

They're entertainers and excellent for cricket. Their team is very strong too. Marlon Samuels has finally realized his potential and Andre Russell will be a very good player in the future. Their opener Charles also looks a good talent.
They've also a got player playing for Rajasthan Royals(name escapes me), who'll be part of their team in two years.

12 to win from 5 balls for the England ladies... it's doable!
well up for this final ... though will be annoying to have to switch over at half time to catch the United game.
The neutrals perfect final with two most likeable sides in world cricket and delighted Sri Lanka made the it on home turf.
West Indies win toss and bat. Hoping so much that we get a repeat of the type of batting Gayle and Pollard gave us in the semi final ...

Similar sentiments.
Just hoping to see a great final.

I'm not sure the Windies will cope with Spinners.
Charles gone 0-1 in the first over.
Wicket maiden
Superb start from SL.
There's me thinking Spinners will cause the danger.
Utterly bizarre start from West Indies. Sri Lanka's bowling has been top drawer but not as good as just a mere 12 runs conceded in the first 5 overs.
West Indies really backing themselves for the last 6 overs!

Gayle gone!!! Brilliant bowling, he looked lost out there.
