Re: 21 April, West Indies v England, Lara's swansong
If you double the Windies score at the 30-over mark (173/2), they should finish somewhere in the region of 340-350
but in cricket you never know. Anyways 300+ is on
Re: 21 April, West Indies v England, Lara's swansong
Samuels does an Inzi and calls Lara for a run that was n't there, Lara runout for 18 and walks off shaking his head in disappointment....
173-3

Re: 21 April, West Indies v England, Lara's swansong
So ENG need 301 at RRR of 6.02 per over.
Not unachievable specially since WI attack is also quite monotoned. No real spin option except Gayle.
Re: 21 April, West Indies v England, Lara's swansong
WI just 300...I expected around 350...WI mid and late order couldn't hit in the closing overs...
Though it doesn't seem an easy target for England...

Plenty of spin options for Windies: Gayle, Sarwan, Smith, Samuels & Chanderpaul etc... :)
Re: 21 April, West Indies v England, Lara's swansong
Yes but aside from Gayle, not many really bother the batsmen do they?
Re: 21 April, West Indies v England, Lara's swansong
^^ Yes...you should put them in when England desperately need runs...
Eng 11/1 off 2.3 overs...
Re: 21 April, West Indies v England, Lara's swansong
Vaughan appears to be playing captain's match...
Eng 34/1 off 5 overs...
