Excellent

Who do we want to play? I’d rather play WI personally.

What’s the Kolkata pitch like?

I fancy our chances more against WI but it would be great to beat India in their backyard, especially as T20 is so big there.

From a team with zero IPL experience, excepting one player, Morgan, who’s arguably the only one not worth his place currently

(I disagree, i think he’s skippered and fielded really well and while the batters around are firing we can afford a ‘passenger’)

His catch today was immense. It’s also the fact that he still tries to play the same way when out of firm empowers the others to follow.

Didn’t Morgan play for KKR for a few years? He should know the place pretty well.

2 goes to run out Kohli and they missed with both! I thought India were 30 behind a good score, but that could be a big moment.

This chap Kohli is quite useful, WI still in it, just.

Gayle gone for 5 – will be a struggle for WI from here.

Crowd’s very quiet.

Wow, very quiet! Amazing!!

that was tense…

Great, great batting from the Windies.

It’s gonna be a fantastic final!!

Those 2 no ball wickets crucial.

Looks like I was right earlier!! If you bat first and get 20 below the average score for the ground, and are only 2 wickets down, I’d say you weren’t taking enough risks. India have been sub-par all tournament, and were again today.

Kolkata pitch should take a bit more turn. IPL average scores about 170.

So today is the final, somehow we have got to find a way to stop the WI hitting – here’s hoping.

WI looking good in the Women’s final, more than one title would be greedy.

Big up the Windies ladies!

Awesome achievement.

Right off to a friend’s to watch, hope to return here to celebration in a few hours time – and no, cricket being the winner is not enough.

TMS for me, my stubborn refusal to support Murdoch and the over paid wendyballers hurts sometimes.

And the crickvid.com link that was posted on the other thread is pants, full of pop-up ads that refuse to die. Shame my ‘P’ doesn’t have global affect…

Arseflaps.

Oh dear.

Thundering arseflaps.

Disastrous.

Ship steadied a little now

Oh, well done, Mike.

*slow hand clap*

Sorry for that

watchcric.net had a good stream the other day and not too bad for popups etc. I’m on TMS too though.

Root! Root! Root!

What is par then for this pitch? Been out with the kids and am late to the party

Dunno, they are saying on the Guardian live blog thingy that the pitch is doing nothing at all for the bowlers so something big-ish is probably par.

Stokes FFS! 🙁

‘Tis alright we bat deep. 180+ then

Edit: sh*t . On another note I hate that dance. I suppose that’s why they do it. Like the sprinkler

Hmmm… 🙁

Bugger

Root out. Game over.

Game over.

You don’t know cricket if you think it’s game over

Yeah to be fair they chased down 230 against S Africa which not many people would have given them a chance of doing. Batting is our stronger suit though surely.

Let’s get 150 and see.

I’m still positive, just about

Well they seem to want to do it the hard way
