West Indies v England ODI series

[Durhamfootman]

Rashiiiiiiiiiiid

ho ho

2 in 2

both the set batsmen

hat trick ball

[Durhamfootman]

Wood's done ok. Otherwise poor bowling, poor fielding.

It's going to be Stokes to Brathwaite again, isn't it? Lightning striking twice and all that.

not this time

Stokes will have one over though

Rashid mopping up the tail.

[bigfluffylemon]

Brathwaite out! 2 in 2 for Rashid.

Given the West Indies tail, you'd think that must be game. But a couple of boundaries is all it'll take for WI to be in front again.

[Durhamfootman]

3 wickets in the over and the WIndies are surely done

[Durhamfootman]

Been a great game, this

[bigfluffylemon]

Rashid four in an over

My word.

So England win, but who'd have thought it would be that close? What a game.

POTM? Buttler, Gayle? Given how rough a match it was for bowlers, I'd almost be tempted to give it to Wood - 4 for 60 off 10 was heroic under the circumstances.

[Durhamfootman]

done

4 wickets in one over

You can have your 100 and loads in next to nothing

you can have your record numbers of 6's and boundaries right left and centre

you can have your 10 overs of 4-60 in a match with 800 runs in it

but if that over from Rashid isn't MOM material, then I don't know what is

England were going to lose that game until that over

[Durhamfootman]

what a game

Moeen motm?

0 off 1 with the bat
2 overs 31 runs with the ball

Having an absolute mare in this series

Is there anything more comical in cricket than lower order batsmen trying to pick a leg spinner

[Durhamfootman]

bless them all

[Durhamfootman]

one thing i noticed was Rashid's angry reaction to Stokes dropping Nurse off the first ball of that over. For all it was really tough chance he was absolutely furious.

Earlier in the innings, Rashid had put in the full dive to try and stop Nurse flicking Stokes to the finest of fine legs, only to see the ball roll to the boundary rope, and Stokes went ballistic.

Must be hard to stay friends in the heat of battle

JB2 gets MOM

[Durhamfootman]

I would like to have seen Rashid get that, but hey....... what a performance from Buttler

[bigfluffylemon]

Buttler's 50 came of 46 balls.

His next hundred runs came off 31.

Incredible.
