Awful record in recent seasons of paying for absolute shite with regards to overseas pros. Even the ones that looked reasonable on paper have been crap.
Good to see Mousley performing in what is probably the best format for him.

He could go on at make a lot of money for himself, very clever bowler with his variations, doesn't really spin it, but great control and decent if not explosive with the bat.

Lockie Ferguson with 4-4-0-3 today

Lockie Ferguson with 4-4-0-3 today

Watched it and it was an amazing performance. He could easily have had 4 wickets and that would have made it a bit neater... 4-4-0-4

More incredible things going on.... Nicholas Pooran hits 98 from 53 balls for the West Indies .... talk about unlucky.... 3 balls left in teh over, he's on 97 and hits the ball towards the boundary on the floor.... fielder retrieves it and with an amazing throw runs him out with a direct throw from the boundary on his second run while trying to retain the strike for 98. Astonishing power and innings. Amazing fielding from Afghanistan. WIndies close on 218 - 5.

Very convincing win for the Windies. They will be extremely dangerous in the Super 8 group, as will SA, and it appears the US are no mugs. England have to improve. A lot.

USA pushing SA all the way

Collapsed a bit the end goodness sake @Alan it’s all your fault

Well shit, usually when I can’t watch things work in my favor!

Jokes aside, I’ll have to see if there’s any way for me to catch a “test”(?).

The USA don't play them, only got into this tournament as hosts, although making the Super 8s gets them automatically into the next one

England urgently need a wicket. Getting pummelled all over St Lucia

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Talking to myself as you are all asleep no doubt, but the target is 181. Could have been quite a bit worse, but that is a tough target.

I'm here... Buttler just gone but decent start at 67-1 off 8 overs...

 

[Tredman]

Should be doable, good start at least.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Run rate seems well under control just for now but many a slip.

I must comment about the time of day. It's nearly midnight in St Lucia and the game is only 75% done. The timings are no benefit to teh local community, and fuck all use to those wishing to watch the game in England.

Perfect timings to watch it in India. Strange that, eh, BCCI?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Quite a brisk knock from Bairstow.

 

[Squeak]

40 from 30 needed with 8 wickets in hand. Excellent from Bairstow. Just what England needed.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Salt going bananas and this is now going to be an absolute coast. A mere thirty off the over

 

[Squeak]

What an over from Salt.... 4, 6, 4, 6, 6, 4 ... 30 off the over.... just 10 needed from 24 now!
Looks like a tennis match.
