And here comes the last super-eight game at Kensington Oval, Barbados
Overall: Windies lead 37-30 in 71 games (4 no result)
World Cups: England lead 3-1
Hope this genius of a cricketer bows out of international cricket in style. A win and a hundred would be really nice
England won the toss and put the Windies in
WI 13-0 after 2 overs

GA jaag gaya...
I was wondering whether some one would open the thread today or not..
Re: 21 April, West Indies v England, Lara's swansong
^ Yeah I just got up and I was surprised too that noone had bothered to open a thread for this game
Most of us have probably lost interest in the world cup seeing the way the Aussies have been so dominant and all over every team. The outcome is just so predictable. Only a miracle, an inexplicable loss of form on a given day or bad luck can deny them now. They are a cut above all other teams
