England LO tour of WI, Dec 3-21

[Slipstream]

Had to follow it on Cricinfo and it was hard to tell who was going to win the match till the last 4 overs. Shepherd and Forde.... wow..

The WICB stream all the West Indies games for free on Youtube for people who live outside of a cricket playing country (as I do). But if you have a VPN, just set it to Belgium and viola.... all the series for free.

Absolutely amazing initiative for West Indies cricket imo. More countries should do it...

Don't have VPN.
I don't know what I will do for the India Test Series. I have SKY but they hardly do England overseas Tests. SKY, TNT and Channel 5 to fight it out.

White ball reset my @rse.

Well bowled Forde.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Buttler has a start.

Wonder if Salt is playing himself into the side.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bit of a collapse though...

Salt 40
Buttler 39

This dire run of form doesn't show many signs of stopping....buttler under huge pressure

[Durhamfootman]

Bit of a collapse though...

crikey... an understatement

165-5 with 3 overs to go. all out for 171. 5 wickets for 6 runs. With 3 overs to go, I guess most people would have expected them to put 195 to 200 on the board from the position they were in

[bigfluffylemon]

For once it wasn't Buttler's fault

[Durhamfootman]

England are approaching the end of the 7th over and are slightly ahead of WI in runs and in wickets. However, the Windies scored at 10 an over for the last 12 overs and I'd be surprised if England match that. I'm more inclined to think that they'll throw wickets away trying to match it

we'll see

[Durhamfootman]

Curran at 4 is either going to be inspired or a classic case of muddled thinking

[mikesiva]

Joseph gets his second wicket!

[Durhamfootman]

I'm more inclined to think that they'll throw wickets away trying to match it

and so it begins

[Durhamfootman]

10's needed so 3 off the over just won't cut it.

[Durhamfootman]

Windies make the classic mistake of throwing the ball to Russell. LL boosts his score from 2 off 3 to 17 off 7

Dre Russ?

oh, you won't see him no more

[mikesiva]

Motie gets rid of Livingston.

Four down.

Powell with another catch.
