Windies spank poms.

Post by Skids »

Gee whizz, just how bad are the English cricket team?!?!
Flogged by one of the worst sides in the world in the 20:20.

Bowled out for 103, at one stage they were 5/29. Bowlers, Rashid & Jordan scoring half their runs. J.Holder taking 4/7.

Can we really take much from trouncing them in the ashes?

I reckon Bangladesh would make them look stupid.

Poms won the 2nd match, by 1 run.

What a late run chase, amazing effort. Windies needed 38 off the last 2 overs and just missed out.

All we can take from trouncing 'em is the Ashes trophy...

They're no good in Oz. Everyone knows that. It's crazy talk when some point to the 4-0 score and say Oz has no problems. Oz has batting problems. Oz has spin problems. It's obvious.

England's batting collapses have deflected from Oz's smaller batting collapses. (Like Adelaide last year, when India's 36 deflected from Oz's collapse.) Oz's batting against Wood's bouncers in the third innings in Tassie was pathetic.

I agree K. The batting line up is very fragile.

Imagine this Australian side facing bowlers like; Roberts, Ambrose, Garner or Walsh.... they would rarely score over 100 in an innings.

Or worse if Marshall and Holding were bowling in tandem……………

"Seamer Jason Holder took four wickets in four balls in the final over as the West Indies wrapped up a 3-2 Twenty20 series win over England, prevailing by 17 runs in a gripping decider in Bridgetown, Barbados.

England were already struggling desperately to reach their victory target of 180 after succumbing to the left-arm spin of Akeal Hosein before Holder struck."

Looks like they got my email. ;)

No mention of a 'double hat trick'.

OTOH...

Gotta say... it is true that after two balls the bowler is on a hat trick... And after three balls he's still on a hat trick... So... 8)
