Well if you backed Eng, then you lost!

gayle = 6666666666666666666666666666 x9

happy with the win but sad to see how crap England's bowlers are
Gayled

Same problem as in South Africa. No score is safe for England as this attack is not up to 20/20 bowling standards.

I greened up for a measly amount

I agree it was one of the easier games to trade if you do most of your business 1st 1/2 as as I usually do...plenty of time to Get Out of a bad book.

bowls out ali before rashid and the match is gone.

he's a very very ordinary captain.

9 wides and 1 no ball is way too many in this level. Nearly 2 free overs for the opposition

& plenty of opportunity!

WP Grant and Trader pj.

Steam has almost stopped coming out of my ears from this morning after a completely inept betting attempt by me. If Windies win I'm almost level for the day.

220 would not have been enough

eng would have needed 240.

now willey and rashid for four of the final 5 with the match gone.

England tapping it around for 1s and 2s. Gayle smashing it everywhere

Jeeepers

chris fail so free for top bat

Pack yer bags lads & go straight to the airport.

Out with India

RIP My Iqbal top bat bet.

why, we have been beaten by 1 man, score of 182 is fair enough, but if Chris Gayle, gets in he destroys any bowling attack in the world, no matter who they are.

any sign of wisewords?

not sure whats more unbelievable Gayle;s innings or my horse didn't even break sweat and won by 5 lengths.

The bowling has been dross too. Wides & all over the shop

On the positive side,they can't bowl any worse than this

England beat SA and SA beat Windies makes it interesting.

Well, you have Jordon not good enough, but the best at odi are there and thats what we've got. He took Rashid apart and he's a good bowler, but Gayle can make any bowler look carp

but you know he's the prize wicket in this sort of chase.

willey was nibbling it about early doors and rashid is the wildcard wicket taker. morgan HAS to risk these guys against gayle instead of turning to stokes, jordan and topley one over at a time.

this is a weak bowling attack in general and it's not going to contain scores of 170~180 unless morgan uses it more effectively.

Rashid is going have bowled 2 overs in this match.

ffs im waiting for Gayle to get his 100

Great knock that

Well I got it right this time. Amazing innings from Gayle.

cheers for the money Chris

shameful from stokes

What a ball from Stokes

What makes you think we unpacked!

Absolutely hammered by the worst Test side in the world.

wot a ride,wot a game

Jordan 0-24 from 4 yet peeps want to criticise him?!!!

As DStyle says, Rashid is the wicket taker and must be used. 2 overs (albeit for 20 ) is madness. We're in India Eoin....

The stuff Stokes is serving up is scandalous

and the shape morgan was getting early on as well would have been difficult for gayle; he had bad luck with the strike and hardly any balls, but i would have kept him on.

the ONLY way morgan can hide the second rate dross is by getting wickets.

sorry - the shape willey was getting

go on chris, ask verity out for a drink

Got all three of these matches wrong so far. Only a moderate loss today so no harm done. I hope we get back to test cricket soon!

Heathen, Test cricket will always exist, it's much more exciting than this dross.

There was nothing exciting about that whatsoever.

20 20 crowds are like football fans, simple morons. They cheer a 4/6 even when their side is 9 down and the rrr is 50!!.

I am with Juce on this issue Grant.

May a pox be visited upon your house and may all your children be daughters!

England just need to beat SA on Friday

Hales and Roy cost England that game.  Plodding around for 33% of the balls at a strike rate of 100.  And Morgan absurdly not bowling Rashid for his full overs.  Dreadful.

england have an excellent chance so long as faf only gives tahir two overs.

Enjoyed the game though, but as usual England clueless when it comes to an important game.

yep 20 odd for 0 off 4 overs, just isn't good enough, in a lot of games teams go at 10 or more an over, in the PP

Good point Java,

I thought Bayliss had been a breath of fresh air. Maybe our personnel are just not good enough. I don't rate Morgan as captain like many here. The answers...quite simply I don't know that either. I thought our players were quite reasonable. Finn or Broad instead of Jordan for me despite his figures today. England had the worst of the Jew but they never looked like winning.

T20 is a stats game. There have been some interesting articles about the use of stats in T20 recently but it would appear we are devoid of this information or unable to act upon it. I think The Barmy Army needs to be reformed in it's orignal mode..to support our band of losers!

Actually they were 36 for 0 after 4 overs cricketnut. Going at 9 an over. Englands problem was they got bogged down a bit in the middle of the innings.

One thing that needs to be addressed quickly is the dew factor.
It can tilt the game too much in the second innings.

I recall there is something they can spray on the grass that stops the dew forming. Don't know why they don't use it.

It's the same stuff we use in Perth to get water to penetrate our sandy soil. Not particularly expensive.

Surely in this day and age they can devise something better to dry the ball too. An old beer mat is unacceptable really!
