Carnage. Still England are making a decent effort with their reply. Chasing 270 they reached the halfway stage (25 overs) on 116/2.

The Windies aren't as ruthless as the Aussies proved to be..

It looks to be an easy win but I've said that before... An then we've had collapes.

Well done to Lumb in reach his 100

Ok now I found the correct thread Lumb did do excellently but is now out for 106. Currently 87 runs required off 72 balls with 7 wickets and long batting line up England would seem to be favourites. That said I have seen England mess up from the sort of position before and on more than one occasion.

There's only England that can cock up a certain victory..

Absolutely Charlemagne.
Even with a run a ball with nearly 20 overs left I was worried .
Sign of the times .

OK perhaps I should have said "on paper" a strong batting line up.

Poor in the last 15 overs of both innings .
Very disappointing yet again .

After 30 overs West Indies are 79/4
After 30 overs England are 142/2

What a ridiculous defeat. To start with I blame Broad for sticking with the expensive Jordan. Why not bowl Bopara? West Indies shouldn't have got 269. Then England only manage 62 off the last 11 overs. 192/3 with 11 overs to go was a winning position surely?
