8.3
Forde to Maxwell, SIX, hit with authority! Slower back of a length ball outside off, Maxwell reads it well, clears his front leg and swats it over long-off for a flat maximum. 100 up for Australia

I must say, we really are true fans in here. For the amount of blows we have taken from teams in the last year alone, we are still here supporting them

I'm watching our number 1 t20 bowler unable to get a wicket and if he can't get it none of our bowlers will be able to

8.6
Forde to Maxwell, SIX, in the arc, out of the park! Maxwell clears his front leg and smashes it over wide long-off for another biggie. Too easy at the moment for the visitors

Shepherd to Maxwell, SIX, back-to-back maximums!
9.2
Shepherd to Maxwell, SIX, Maxwell is in the zone! A short delivery outside off, sits up nicely for Maxwell. He stands tall and pulls it with aplomb over deep mid-wicket for another maximum

this is hard to watch. 2nd 200+ score and we can't really defend it

In reply to positiveg

That is correct bro, losing consistently will do that to a player. West Indies cricket is broken and those in charge of the team can't seem to fix it

..........

For Akiel to be effective, he must open the bowling....sigh

This team is the absolute worst i have ever seen play live.
Piss poor fielding and some bowling changes I have not seen at all.
Like why bring back Shepard down on the South end when he took a wicket first ball and bowled relatively well on the other end.

In reply to sgtdjones

He haven't take a wicket in the previous 3 games opening. I see nothing wrong with him coming in the middle thing he looks very ordinary and that's very unlikely him. You dont see many plays or miss .
And he finally gets his first.

10.1
Akeal Hosein to Maxwell, out Caught by Holder!! Maxwell holes out! Good piece of bowling from Akeal Hosein to get rid of Maxwell! Akeal Hosein bowls this one slow through the air and bowls it short and wide outside off.

Maxwell c Holder b Akeal Hosein 47(1 [4s-1 6s-6]

The truth is, the team simply isn't good enough. The top teams keep churning out talented young players who improve with experience. Meanwhile, our players tend to regress because they aren't in a system that truly nutures talent. The same cricket that we were so good at, t20 cricket, has evolved while we got left behind. It is sad to see how this team just keeps getting worse

11.2
Jediah Blades to Mitchell Owen, out Caught by Rutherford!! Two wickets in quick succession for the Windies! Just what the doctor ordered. Jediah Blades gets his second wicket. A fuller length ball shaping away from Mitchell Owen. He tries to hit it over extra cover perhaps but ends up slicing it

Mitchell Owen c Rutherford b Jediah Blades 2(5)

WI 205/9 (20)

AUS 206/7 (19.2)
