Wicket - 50 needed from 16 balls

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jan 29, 2022 11:11 pm

49 from last 2 overs

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jan 29, 2022 11:21 pm

Won by 34 runs - and on to tomorrow for the decider

2 of our T20 totals have been higher than 6 of our Ashes innings scores

I thought that there were double standards applied to what was or was not a wide depending on which team were batting. Unusual but it was noticeable.

And that comes as a surprise to you?

Good series this 2 very evenly matched sides, and I wouldn't be bold enough to predict who wins the decider.

Not surprised at all. Just a sign of how badly the test team performed. A T20 side should not be regularly outscoring a test team

Really enjoyed this T20 series so far. Until the 17th over last night it really could have gone either way

Agree with this. I think it was Topley at one point who almost looked embarrassed that a wide wasn't given off his bowling

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:30 am

There were some astonishing non-wide decisions for both sides. Poor umpires.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 7:36 pm

5th and deciding game tonight, WI win toss and bat 1st.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 8:04 pm

First 6 just been hit. 9/0 from 7 balls.

Following on this post with the NFL on, come on England!

Seems to be at least one claret in the crowd.

Just spotted the Burnley shirt in the crowd

England restricting the Windies, and Livingstone bowling impressively 2 wickets to his name.

Rashid also just got his 2nd, 105-4 just over 5 overs left.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 9:04 pm

Spin bowlers done so well again

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 9:04 pm

Would have thought they’d have wanted the guy who smashed a ton a few days ago in a bit earlier.
Down to number 6 today.

Set to be a good game, was worried after 5 overs but Rashid has to be one of the best in the business at the minute! Great captain in Ali

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 9:19 pm

Rashid was brilliant again.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 9:19 pm

They are just going to get a few more than they should have.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 9:29 pm

179/4 to finish

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 9:31 pm

Just a bit, what's happened in the last 10 minutes?

And why haven't the spinners bowled out, that's a bizarre call from the skipper.

180 needed for England to win and take the series.

Herts Clarets · Post by **Herts Clarets** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 9:49 pm

Roy out for 8 in the first over. Can someone tell them this is not a test match.....

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 10:28 pm

78/2 from 9 - building up nicely is this one

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 10:45 pm

Making a real mess of this - Livingstone just gone at 95/4.

85 needed from 52 balls.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 10:51 pm

69 from 7 overs

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 10:53 pm

Vince gone for 55

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 10:54 pm

WI favourites now.

SMClaret · Post by **SMClaret** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 10:55 pm

Can't see us doing this

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 10:56 pm

Bad over for us. 66 now from 6 overs.

61 now off 5. That’s 8 runs in the last 2 overs.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:00 pm

Salt gone

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:04 pm

56 needed from 4 overs - don’t think we are going to get close

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:06 pm

Looked like we’d cruise this after the first power play.

We did but we have done what they did last night in the middle of the innings.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:07 pm

Let them get too many in the dying overs, they should never have got anywhere close to 180.

They got 20 more than they should have.

Yep and that's going to prove the difference unfortunately.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:14 pm

We’ve just had a good over with 20 from it. Still need 28 from two overs but have given ourselves a slight chance.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:16 pm

Billings impressing again, he'll be a hard man to leave out on this form.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:21 pm

20 needed from last over - huge ask

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:28 pm

Holder gets a hat trick

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:28 pm

Think we’ve had four free hits in the last four or five overs and I don’t think we’ve put bat on ball once. Criminal!

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:29 pm

4 wickets in 4 balls

Yeah, really missed a few opportunities there.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:33 pm

Holder showing his class in the pressure moment. He's some cricketer this chap.

Agree about not taking advantage of the free hits.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:40 pm

The last free hit Jordan left thinking it might be a wide.

Brain fade

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Jan 31, 2022 1:15 am

We blew that one but it’s a series of matches I’ve really enjoyed. I missed the second one because of coming home from Arsenal but have sat right through the other four.
