    Its time for some serious surgery...
    Wright out - he just doesnt have it. How the hell can he be picked instead of Bell?
    Bresnan out - he's just a dobber and cant bat when the pressure is on.
    Tredwell out - steady, but aint a world class performer.
    Bopara out - how many chances does he need when he doesnt HAVE it.

    In..
    Hales
    Morgan
    Bell
    Trott to return?
    Overton

    Bresnan run out. He runs before the ball passes the fielder. I really am thinking about match fixing here. It's inexplicable, to think we could be this idiotic.

    Convinced we're doing our best to lose.

    Stroll in the park for England then.
    Nope - surely we can't really throw this away. Got to rely on the skipper and Bopara now I reckon.

    2 drop catches. I reckon We've backed the W Indies to win & they've backed us to win.

    If bopara steers us home it will be one of the very few times he hasn't failed when in a winning position. He's skilled but got no nerve.

    2 rubbish teams trying to lose!!!! I think the West Indies might even beat us at that!

    Hooray we won, that was painful to watch but well done to Bopara and Broad.

    Finally stumbled over the line.
    It must be remembered that this is a T20 squad playing out of their comfort zone in the very different ODI format. Just wait till next week in Barbados when the 20/20 stuff starts and they will come into their own....

    I hope so. They seem to be playing with a lot of fear at the moment. Perhaps the 20/20 format will free them.

    Excrutiating. That's the word I think.

    Bopara,surprisingly, was quite cool about it , but Broad rode his luck big time, could have been out 4 times in first 10 balls.

    Blimey, looking forward to watching the Woolwich rejects on tv now:

    Sounds like we are worse than ever-

    England batting 30-3 off 6 overs in a 20/20.

    On Talksport at 3ish Bobby Goulds son (who I believe is CE at SlurreyCC) said Swann is at a training camp in SA with the Slurrey boys & KP.
    Great trick as he's in Antigua with R5LX.

    The boys from The Oval really are pants.

    Sorry, back on topic:
    82-3 off 12 "is nowhere near enough....." apparently.

    Gayle just out for 36 off 30 Windies are 75-2 off 10.3

    Bopara BOWLING well ! - 3 overs 1 wicket and only 7 runs so far - (that'll be the kiss of death in his last over !)

    Flurry of wickets, it's not over yet.....
  • Not a fan of T20 but it looks close so I switch on TV - first ball I see is a full toss hit for 6
