Yeah, this could well beat the record for largest margin of defeat, whatever that might be. Just embarassing for the Windies, even if De Villiers was incredible.

I actually feel sorry for Warner

As if it isn't bad enough the umpire gives that as out, but to find it's clipping the bail even after striking above the knee roll while you're jumping? That's just unlucky... :slol:

Hehe that's a hell of a chop on by Maxwell.

PostRe: The Cricket Thread by **Saint of Killers** » Sat Feb 28, 2015 2:26 am

Another chop on! 6 wickets down for 97 in 18th over. Clarke is still there and Haddin has joined him.

Clarke gone too now.

Well that was awesome. Cricket. :wub:

Are there any good websites out there with proper highlights as opposed to YouTube time wasting hit-seekers?

ITV have hour long ones but I think it'll only put the NZ v AUS match up once it has been on TV tonight.

https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/cricket-w ... highlights

They have 8 available now with the last one having 20 hours remaining before it's taken down. (all others have a good few days remaining)

Cheers SoK!

You're welcome

Not a bad start, but the last two overs haven't been good enough. Bell and ~~Ballance~~ Root need to keep pushing on at 5 or 6 an over to give the likes of Buttler and Morgan a chance in the last 10.

PostRe: The Cricket Thread by **Drumstick** » Sat Feb 28, 2015 11:48 pm

Baffling that they are happy to gently pat the ball straight back to Dilshan ball after ball.

That Sri Lanka review :lol:

Here it for anybody who isn't watching:

Missing by an absolute mile. :lol:

Blimey we scored over 300. Good stuff from Butler at the end.

PostRe: The Cricket Thread by **furiosum** » Sun Mar 01, 2015 1:59 am

Yeah, I was gobsmacked when the Sri Lankans reviewed that, I don't think anyone considered it might be anywhere near the stumps.

On the whole fairly happy with that England performance. Would have liked them to have gone a bit faster in the middle overs, but we got to a competitive score in the end, and might actually be able to win this.

PostRe: The Cricket Thread by **Drumstick** » Sun Mar 01, 2015 2:07 am

Buttler it was terrific, I'd like to see him come in a little earlier, maybe switch him with Morgan.

I'd keep the opening two (for the time being), drop Ballance, move Taylor up to 3, keep Root at 4, Morgan and Buttler at 5-6 with a view to giving Buttler a run at 5 (coming in at 6 might also be beneficial to Morgan). The question is who to bring in at 3 because neither Ballance or Hales have really performed.

Here's that review from the front and it's even worse. :lol:

Gonna lose this

PostRe: The Cricket Thread by **Saint of Killers** » Sun Mar 01, 2015 5:59 am

I thought Root was gong to start crying any second during his interview

The South African freight train appears to be running at full speed. Another 400+ total.

I tip my hat to Jason Holder here, he's really trying to drag the WI back into this.
