Home game for England. Not a WI supporter in sight. If this game was against India in T&T or Guyana the haters on this board would be out with their long knives.

Motie to Philip Salt, out Caught by Keacy Carty!! Motie provides the much-needed breakthrough! He lands this on a back of a length and it perhaps sticks on the surface a bit. Comes off slowly than Philip Salt expected it to. He shapes to cut it and ends up lobbing it towards cover-point. Carty moves to his left and pouches it safely. Philip Salt was also deceived by the extra bounce there.

19.4
Cariah to Crawley, 1 run, dropped! Tossed up delivery, Crawley goes for the slog sweep but doesn't get it off the middle. Off the toe-end of the bat as the ball flies towards long-on. Motie gets low to catch it but makes a mess of it. Made it difficult for himself. How costly will that prove?

Slack fielding by Oshane

Run out!!!

Run out

29.3
Motie to Crawley, out Crawley Run Out!! Terrible mix-up and Crawley has to go! He ends up 2 short of a fifty too. Was a length delivery on off-stump, Crawley eased it towards point and set off for a single. His partner didn't respond and he was stranded halfway down the wicket. The throw was slick and right on top of the stumps, all Shai Hope had to do was collect it and whip the bails off. A timely breakthrough for the West Indies.

Motie to Buttler, out Caught by Athanaze!! Buttler falls cheaply! Full on off-stump, Buttler leant in looking to reverse-sweep but it just bounced a little more than he expected. It took the glove and lobbed up to Athanaze at slip and he took a simple catch over his head.

37.1
Cariah to Harry Brook, SIX, Brook on the charge! Full on off-stump, Harry Brook leant across his stumps and swept it very crisply, didn't bother keeping it down and it sailed over the deep backward square leg fence

Shepherd bowling sweet

Nikhil say they into the bowlers. Livingston is a gun batsmen.

37.6
Cariah to Livingstone, SIX, oh that made a cracking sound! Tossed up outside off, Livingstone leant forward and reached out, dragged it into the leg-side with a slog-sweep and it went flat over the deep mid-wicket fence
37.5
Cariah to Livingstone, SIX, signalling a definite change of mentality here! Tossed up on middle, Livingstone skipped down the track and hoisted it straight back down the ground, cleared the ropes by a distance

44.6
Thomas to Brydon Carse, 2 runs, just over the keeper! Banged in short on middle, Brydon Carse looked to pull and it got big on him, took a bit of glove and just went past the outstretched arms of Shai Hope, maybe got a bit of glove to it too

Cariah to Sam Curran, out Sam Curran Run Out!! Big mix-up and Curran has to go! Tossed another googly up on off-stump, Sam Curran looked to slog it away again and got a thick outside edge that went to short third man. Curran was ball-watching and his partner had already come through for the single, was too late by the time he realised and started running, Joseph waited a second and threw it to the bowler who did the rest.

17.3
Rehan Ahmed to Athanaze, out Lbw!! Rehan Ahmed provides the opening! This is a big breakthrough for England. He slips in the googly and gets it to turn away a bit, Athanaze goes for the slog sweep and misses to get struck in front. Looked quite adjacent to the naked eye and the umpire has no hesitation to rule it out. Athanaze thinks about the review and has a chat with Brandon King but rightly decides against it. A good knock from the youngster nonetheless

18.4
Livingstone to Brandon King, out Bowled!! Two wickets in quick succession! Just what the doctor ordered for the visitors. Both openers are back to the pavilion and the game has opened up. A loopy legbreak in line of the stumps, Brandon King crouches in his stance to play the slog sweep but the ball turns and grips. He only manages an under-edge

Given out.....Carty goes

29.1
Brydon Carse to Keacy Carty, out Lbw!! Oh dear, that's a bit unfortunate for Keacy Carty. Livingstone got one earlier and Carty's gone on now. Just a good length delivery on middle, didn't rise at all, Keacy Carty was pressing back to pull and it skidded through, hit him a little above the ankle and they didn't bother reviewing as it was given out on-field.

Keacy Carty lbw b Brydon Carse 16(39) [4s-1]

Shimron Hetmyer, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Gets away....

29.2
Brydon Carse to Hetmyer, 2 runs, oh nearly another! Hard length delivery on middle from round the wicket, cramped him for room as he looked to tuck it into the leg-side and lobbed up towards mid-wicket off the leading edge, just went over the fielder

Streaky first shot by Hetmeyer

let me say this...ah hem...get ready to cuss me..

Bravo more reliable than Hety

ah lie?

Is Hetmeyer a serious 50 Overs batter?

In reply to powen001

T20 cricket has had a negative influence on Hety's ODI batting. He is now dependent on the leg side to score runs and he plays most times across the line of the ball.

In reply to googly1961

They don't have a choice but to be aggressive

In reply to Courtesy

spoken like a coach.

He has indeed lost some of his timing and proper shot selections.


Confession: THIS 50 over format hopefully will see him work those kinks out...so far he has survived.

In reply to ray

Aggression- sure.


Shot selection also must play a part...and ...as just done...RUN between the wickets...this pair can do that as long as a certain fella doesnt ball watch.

In reply to powen001

You all need to give the English bowlers some credit! They have been varying their pace with good effect!

35.5
Gus Atkinson to Hetmyer, FOUR, sloppy work, full on off-stump, Hetmyer slapped it hard but straight to mid-off where the fielder let it through, Sam Curran the culprit

Bowlers are doing their jobs.

The batsmen...of world class status...should also do theirs...no?

The pitch is nothing to sing about ...so...be mindful.

All I am saying...

I am happy for this partnership thus far...they need to put us in a WINNABLE position from here...and yes I am budgeting for the aggression as that run rate is now a factor.

I prefer a constant looking for gaps and bad balls to put away...

until Tante Merle ring de bell and T20 format kicks in.

In reply to powen001

I don't know which match yuh watching...but T20 mode should be in already

In reply to StumpCam

I expect some commentary about the pitch afterwards...so there is that in the back of my mind too.

never a good thing to have to see balls doing rats runs on a first day pitch...men need ankle guards.

37.1
Gus Atkinson to Hetmyer, FOUR, oh nearly chopped it on! Length delivery just outside off, Hetmyer had a loose waft at this and got a thick inside edge that nearly shaved off-stump before running down to the fence

laaaaaawwwd...Hety...inside edge...misses the stumps by a coat of paint...


heart attack Hety-- lawwwwwd

37.5
Gus Atkinson to Hetmyer, out Caught by Brydon Carse!! A wicket at a critical juncture! Banged in short on middle, Hetmyer wanted to take it on but it rushed him just a touch, it took the top-edge and shot up in the air. Carse went a few paces back and steadied himself at short fine-leg before holding on safely. The dangerous Hetmyer goes and now there's more pressure on the West Indies.

Hetmyer c Brydon Carse b Gus Atkinson 32(30) [4s-4]

THat Full toss just now...Hety of old would have hit that for six...lol

I applaud him for trying to keep it along the carpet....so far.. heart in my mouth when ...and...I aint finish...Hety OUT.

Wasn't a great delivery to be honest, was dragged down on middle, wrong-un again and Rutherford went deep in his crease looking to heave it away over deep mid-wicket, it didn't come off the middle and he didn't get the distance. Brook settled under it at deep mid-wicket and held on as safe as houses.

Congrats West Indies.

Wonderful to see how we won. Congrats, especially Hope.

Well done WI. Missed the last 23 overs due to grand parenting.

Shephards batting is match winning his bowling not so much this is the paradox

Shocking win!

I was surprised to see Joseph batting before Cariah
