Absolutely the right call Nemo, it was an horrifying watch, I honestly don't think that I'd have conceded the number of runs Jordan and Mahmood did in their last overs

This Rovman Powell fella, where have they been hiding him?
Making himself an IPL zillionaire, you'd have to imagine.

Fantastic hundred from Powell, good knocks from Salt and Banton although England lost a high-scoring match.

England's T20 death bowling is currently as bad as England's test batting.....discuss.....
When I saw the card last night I felt Salt at 6 (or 7 where he was listed) was a potential waste of talent, feel bit gutted that Brook had a bit of a stinker, hope it doesn't knock his confidence or hold him back with England, can't really blame the batters last night tho, if you lose a game making well over 200 there's other places to look. Rashid and Topley were fantastic last night though, great bowling by both of them

What a team West Indies would be if they organised all their T20Is right before the IPL Auction*
* I am joking. But Holder, Powell and a few others definitely need to be employing a financial advisor in the next few weeks.

Vince avoids a third consecutive six then out next ball innings. We might get a full pretty 30 this time!
Speaking of t20 leagues, enjoying seeing the journey/rise of Lintott from school teacher to global t20 name - anyone call him opening the batting with Gayle in Bangladesh a year ago?!

Lintott is an odd one, he's been very good (batting!) minor counties for Wilts and county 2s for a few counties for years. Then suddenly, he's a gun white ball bowler.
Lidl Steve Smith.
Also when I said Holder should play IPL I want to be clear that is to bowl in the power play only.

Ah I see, just remember his debut as a plodding number 11 so opening was a surprise!
Harmison now used the commentary line “he came in on nought” twice, not sure he understands how cricket works.
Bit surprised Billings walked out at 6 - Salt perfect for the quick start I’d have thought

Very unclear as to what Darren Bravo is in this Windies team for. A specialist bat who the captain is turning down singles to...
I'm not completely against T20 anchors but they simply can't bat 7. And probably, they need to be Babar Azam levels of good, and neither he nor Hope is that.
King Mayers Pooran Powell Pollard Holder Odean Smith Allen Hossain Shepherd Cottrell
That'll do me, if Hetmeyer/Narine/Lewis are unavailable. Bosh all the way down.
Really enjoyed the scheduling of this series - four weekend games and a Wednesday. All rather fun and keeps the narrative going.
Umpires a bit useless today mind.

Hey, Windies have chosen my team today for the final, that's fun.

Of course, if none of them can play leg spin then it doesn't really help.

Chris Jordan continuing to serve up absolute dross at the death but this time for Karachi....29 needed off the last 2 and they've taken 20 of them off him in the 19th
