89-0 after ten overs?
Crikey.
Can Hales play sensibly through the middle overs? He seems intent on swishing away after the powerplay.
Top order all batting well!
Slowed a bit, but still good!
They heard you!
Is anyone following the India v Convicts?
Glenn Maxwell*(rhb) 101 off 51 6 4s 8 6s S/R 198.03
:-O
Yes- got two screens running. Nice one, Glenn!
They heard you!
😂
First 50 in 45 balls. Second in 15!
A few overs of The Hulk Stokes to round it off, then.
I do wonder how many overs Ali & Rashid will bowl, given the pasting England gave to the WI spinners.
Because the WI seamers were so economical??
Gayle's not going quietly....... Frankly these games are getting daft, he's just hit a yorker over long off off the back foot.
Bat restrictions is the only way.
decent strike rate from Hetmyer, didn't stay long though
Some game this.
it comes to something when you bowl something less than perfect and are happy it 'only' goes for four
mental game this

- and then Rashid takes 3 wickets in 4 balls
edit - 4 in 5 balls
Make that 4!!! And a dropped catch!
WI must be a bit gutted.
This is a case for WTF!
Buttler kept well today, esp to the leggy. 2 stumping, almost 3 if the 3rd ump had looked at the right angles.
Wow!
Never in doubt...
Over 800 runs evenly distributed and ends in 2WW.WW. Just toying with them.
So when did 418 become chasable! Great game there though
Shall we talk about something else for a while?
Not a good day in the TJ household as Mrs TJ is a big cricket fan and Edinburgh got humped at rugby 🙁
Bat restrictions is the only way.
It has to happen. Rank mis-hits fly for six nowadays.
What do you deem an acceptable size? Was the new law not enough? People always bleat on about bats but never seem to mention minuscule boundaries, field restrictions, the pitches prepared, balls used, etc, etc which all skew things in favour of the bat in the shorter formats. With the way the game is approached now in terms of mentality and training you could give these guys a twig and they'd still play these ridiculous shots for 6. It isn't the bats hitting those shots
161 is the target.
Oh, look! A squirrel!
Here we go again
Hmmmm...
Master Chef at 9 o’clock looks promising.
Is Buttler resting for the IPL?
oh ye of little faith
Oh, I say! Game on
Go on Jordan
Never in doubt.
Much.
Glad Buttler was being rested, if Billings was his replacement. Jordan for the WC squad along with Archer?
Jordan looks a different bowler to a few years ago. Leaner and fitter too. I believe he has had a a lot of back issues.
Rattling through their order again
This is shameful. I grew up adoring West Indies cricketers. Almost worshiping them. When I bumped in to (literally, as we opened our car doors on to each other) Malcolm Marshall, I almost prostrated myself before him. Lovely chap, by the way.
I so want West Indies cricket to be good.
They were excellent in the test series. Hopefully a couple of pyjama party aberrations are just that.
Cracking win for Hampshire today.
Also, Soul Limbo will be ringing out again tomorrow!

Sadly without Alex “in” Hales. C’mon Jofra!
(Hampshire looking good for Southern group champion)
Good afternoon, everybodeeeee.
England win toss and bowl first. Looks a good choice to me, touch green out there!
