We should be able to defend that and yet the odds are with the Windies. Fuck Stokes has just dropped a catch. Elbow ball.I disagree. The game is so heavily weighted in favour of the batsmen that virtually any total is gettable. Nah. I respectfully disagree. England are likely to win this now thanks to those three wickets in the one over, but let's be honest, our bowling has been terrible other than Wood and Plunkett, our fielding today has been very poor. Bloody hell, we win as I type.

Very true VFL, totally agree. I'm probably wrong about Rashid too to be fair. Taking five in a one dayer is great. I just think he's a very lucky bowler and the only reason he was on is because Morgan had no choice but to bring Wood on earlier to try to get a grip of the batters, and was therefore left with little option. That said, Rashid did the business by making the late order batters make rash shots and they paid the price.
Bowling against the tailenders!! Where is Rashid when it comes to getting the Gayle's out? Fair play for him getting a five for though, but Christ he does bowl some shit. I presume that this is the highest scoring aggregate game in history?

Think the Aus SA game in Joburg still holds that record
Some amazing stats on that. 15 balls to go from 51 to a ton! And yet, only the third highest scoring game.
