What does ABE stand for?

 
Narper Nov 6, 2024, 1:06:24 PM 

West Indies (Playing XI):
Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope(w/c), Sherfane Rutherford, Shimron Hetmyer, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph

England (Playing XI):
Philip Salt(w), Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingstone(c), Sam Curran, Dan Mousley, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley

West Indies have won the toss and have opted to field

 
Narper Nov 6, 2024, 1:07:10 PM 

Livingstone:
We were going to bowl as well. Obviously a heavily chasing ground. We feel like we've played a lot of cricket here over the last couple of years. Two changes: Overton, Topley in for Mahmood and Turner. Just making changes, keeping people fresh. That's the brand we want to play. Want to be attacking and put pressure.

Hope:
We will be bowling first. Not sure what we'll get over here at Kensington. Got to make sure we assess conditions quickly as a bowling group. Two changes: Shamar, Jayden out, Alzarri and Shepherd back.

Narper Nov 6, 2024, 1:20:30 PM 

3.4
Alzarri Joseph to Jordan Cox, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Absolute snorter from Joseph and it's too hot to handle for Cox. 148.2kph, banged in on a short of length around off and climbs sharply at Cox in defence. He barely is able to get his hands up in time as it grazes a bit of glove on the way to the keeper. Joseph is still unhappy about something and hardly even celebrates. Seems to be complaing about something to his teammates if anything.

Aljo left the field ....... ridiculous behavior....he in de pavillion

WI has only 10 men on the field

He ought to be disciplined !!!!!! Yuh vex ,,,,yuh stay on de field

Alzarri is back on the field now. But wait, he has been taken off the attack. Crazy.

Alzarri back out on the field

 
Narper Nov 6, 2024, 1:29:27 PM 

5.1
Shepherd to Jacob Bethell, out Caught by Roston Chase!! All the drama surrounding Alzarri Joseph aside, England continue to lose wickets. Jacob Bethell, born and brought up in Barbados, falls for a duck. Short and wide outside off, he cuts in the air and Chase hangs on to a brilliant overhead catch as he leaps full stretch at backward point.

9.5
Shepherd to Livingstone, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Edged and gone! England lose another as Livingstone goes for an ambitious drive on the up. Good length ball outside off, he looks to crash it through the off-side but this pitch has plenty of bounce which isn't easy to get on top of. It takes the outside edge and Hope grabs another easy catch.

25.3
Roston Chase to Sam Curran, out Caught by (sub)Hayden Walsh!! There's the miscue and there's the wicket for the West Indies, was nicely tossed up and Curran couldn't resist, mid-on was inside the ring and he was trying to go over that fielder, but he's undone by the drift and ends up playing across the line, Curran ends up slicing the leading edge and popping it high towards mid-off. Hayden Walsh runs to his right from mid-on, he has plenty of time to settle under and holds onto a reverse cupped catch

Great work king

40.3
Forde to Philip Salt, out Caught by Alzarri Joseph at long-on!! Brilliant stuff from King! That's as good as it can get. Pitched up outside off, Philip Salt eyes light up as he heaves across the line and makes decent connection. It's traveling towards deep mid-wicket. Brandon King moves to his left, keeps his eyes on the ball and leaps to grab it with both hands. Meanwhile, Alzarri Joseph has run across from long-on. King realises that the momentum will take him over the ropes so he flicks the ball towards Joseph before going over the boundary ropes. An easy take for Joseph there. That's a catch in the name of Joseph but the credit should go to King, brilliant piece of athleticism. Darren Sammy in the dressing room loves it and claps. Forde runs towards King to congratulate him. End of a good knock from Philip Salt nonetheless

Alzarri Joseph to Mousley, FOUR, poor delivery and duly punished! Short delivery around leg-stump, Mousley pulls it over short fine for a one-bounce boundary. That brings up the maiden ODI fifty for Mousley! A gentle raise of the bat and he soaks in the applause from his mates. He came into bat when England was rebuilding and has played a composed knock under pressure. Good temperament on display

People here do not seem to know that Archer is an all-rounder.

I remember when he was recovering from his first injury (after signing with Hingland),
His county and Hingland gave him permission to play club cricket in Barbados,
but as a batsman only.

He was an allrounder in Bim.
He also batted well in his first county stint.

Topley to Brandon King, out Bowled!! Topley strikes with an excellent delivery but it's too late! On a length around leg-stump, Brandon King is on the move as he tries to whip it across but the ball nips in with the natural over the wicket angle and beats him on the inside edge. The ball crashes into the leg-stump. End of a terrific knock from Brandon King

Topley to Keacy Carty, FOUR, hit with authority! A shortish delivery that sits up nicely for Keacy Carty. He stands tall and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. WI just one hit away now...

In all honesty- KC in this innings looks like he had a wet dream and transformed into THE Mature player when he woke up this morning.


Shot selection of the highest calibre and concentration to make VIV n Lara proud.

Brandon King | Player of the Match:
Fortunate it came at a crucial game and I'm happy. Once you go through the initial phase, you have to believe in yourself and that's it your time. He batted fluently, he came at a crucial stage

Liam Livingstone: I
think we fought back really well, the boys batted really well at the end. Disappointing end to the series but there were good moments in this series for us. Lots of lessons and experiences from this series, a lot to learn as well. We are missing a lot of players in this series, a lot of new players in this series for us and they will learn a hell lot from it.

Matthew Forde | Player of the Series:
I was a bit suprised but it's all about going out and doing the job for my team. The wicket was slow, we tried to adapt and assess quickly. For me, it was keeping the cutters into play and the wicket was a bit stick. I think it's a brotherhood, it's a collective team, we love each other and support each other. We all have different opinions and respect each other's opinions. Really happy to get the series win and happy to get the player of the series

Shai Hope:
I thought we were disciplined and the main thing to be an elite team is to make sure that you do it consistently. He's a big plus for us, the work is really showing. The boys are doing a lot of work off the field and it's a really big confidence booster for us. In a situation like that, you have to understand that such things happen. It shows that we always fight when we are challenged. The importance of doing things off the field translates onto the field. Really happy with the way our batting unit performed and the bowlers also did really well.
