ICC World T20 Finals Discussion Thread

Terrible captaincy to bowl out Plunkett, Jordan and Willey before the last over. Could have given Root another over in the middle overs, got Ali to bowl one, loads of options beside leaving yourself with no option but to go with a guy who's had trouble in death overs before.

Great batting by Samuels though, and England just not good enough with the bat.

That Eoin Morgan for you. All smug and smirk and no brains

 

[Moonwatcher]

Glad I didn't go to bed at the 10 over mark

 

[Speedie41]

Solid choice of Porter Robinson's Language in the background just then.

 

[Wolfs]

Impossible not to feel sorry for the bloke. He'll relive that over in his mind for a long time to come.

Eh he has that 257 going for him. I think English fans will remember that rather than this. He won't forget though. Really can't imagine how shit it feels.

 

[La Dolce Vita]

lolololo united nations England

 

[Keys]

Well that was something

Nice of CH9 to show the presentation

 

[Oaktree]

I reckon the Windies must have got spurred on after Willey did their 'Champion' dance after getting Sammy out.

What a last over by Brathwaite and what an innings by Samuels!

You felt Samuels needed some support in taking down the total at the end after taking them so close and Brathwaite brings it home with a bang!

England - the melbourne fc of world sport!

 

[Moonwatcher]

England's rejuvenation of the limited overs sides has been quite impressive.

 

[Moonwatcher]

**** yeah Marlon giving it to Shane Warne

 

[DT_fanatic]

Oh shots fired by Samuels

 

[Ronnie Baby]

"This is for Shane Warne"

Hahaha!

 

[aflcliche]

What an inspiration Warne is

Was always going to need Russell, Sammy or Braithwaite to hit the lusty blows at end and boy, did he do it in style. Could not be happier for him. He was the man that showed, fight, spunk , some talent and spirit in Australia. If West Indies cricket is to get out of the long trough it has been in, it is guys like Braithwaite with the right attitude and some talent to go with it that can lift them up.
Great result for cricket world in general.
It is what we needed right now.

 

[Sprout]

lol..Marlon is such a cocky little shit.

 

[Visions]

That was poor bowling, particularly the first one.

Yep. Those 4 balls couldn't have been better half volleys to pick off.

 

[Pea Nut]

Not a chance in hell !! That is for him, Root and the rest of the flogs in that side !!

 

[footyfan1978]

lol..Marlon is such a cocky little shit.

Wish I was seeing this, Just reading the comments here. Would be funny to see.
**** ,you Marlon!
No, **** you Warnie!!!
Silly idiots but entertaining.

 

[DT_fanatic]

**** I love the Windies. Sammy telling it like it is. No nonsense no bullshit champions.

 

[DT_fanatic]

Really fun World Cup as well Several close games, some upsets, variety of pitches, great final, Afghanistan the only country to get a win over the eventual champions. England surprising everyone getting to the final. Most games meant something (I think there was only one dead rubber?). Couldn't ask for much more.

 

[Moonwatcher]

England - the melbourne fc of world sport!

Melbourne make a lot of finals?

 

[Wolfs]

*dead*

Would have be nice if Samuels was useful for them in tests but what do I know?

Is this really the same Marlon Samuels that walked around like he didn't give a shit here in the summer?

He is an enigma
