Probability of winning all 8 coin tosses 0.39%

100th T20I for Adam Zampa.

Feels like a low number for someone so old.

Looking forward to say how Keacy Carty , seen a bit of him lately .

 

[Moonwatcher]

Dwarshius redeems himself just as I was about to pot him.

 

[Moonwatcher]

lol Maxwell drops a simple catch off King after last match's epic catching.

 

[Moonwatcher]

David hasn't always been a safe catch

 

[Moonwatcher]

Looking forward to say how Keacy Carty , seen a bit of him lately .

Welp

 

[davidgoes4wce]

Carcy yet to find his groove in T20 at this level for me.

 

[davidgoes4wce]

The boundary dimensions here are small. In the preview, they were saying one of the sides is 54 metres. Thats Eden-Park like.

 

[davidgoes4wce]

West Indies can't play half-decent spin. That Rutherford wicket was case in point.

 

[davidgoes4wce]

Even that 6 from Hettie , taking on Cam Green had an element of risk.

Could have easily landed in Greens mitts.

 

[davidgoes4wce]

New balls please............as Hettie finally middles one for 89 metres.

 

[Moonwatcher]

They keep scoring.

 

[davidgoes4wce]

That should have been a wide on Hardies penultimate delivery there. Holder moving around the crease would have no doubt deceived the perception of that delivery to the umpire.

 

[davidgoes4wce]

Romario Shepherd coming out and blocking 3 deliveries after a solid start, is the difference in mindset between these 2 teams in this series.

 

[davidgoes4wce]

And that was all too predictable from the West Indies, 6 then out very next ball.

This is way too under par to defend on this wicket for the West Indies.

 

[davidgoes4wce]

Hettie 50 off 30 balls.

 

[PhatBoy]

Not that I think we’d win but could we just have one game where we f**king chase please

Hettie innings a reflection of how the West Indies have gone throughout this series.

Just when the Windies are looking at a big total, a careless shot played outside with a bit of width. Really needed to cash in , when he was there. They are the difference of 25-35 runs, when you dismiss a settled batter.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Zampa strikes.

The talented-and-smart generation of West Indies T20 batsmen have been replaced by the talented-and-brainless generation, save probably for King and Hope who for the most part are relatively cluey.
Gayle, Samuels, Lewis, Bravo, Dwayne Smith, Johnson Charles etc, some of these blokes barely averaged 20 but knew how/when to time what they did.
