Silly leaving our worst bowler chucking 130kph pies for the last 2 even overs. Bad from the Skipper.

My second team as well. At least in as much I want them to come second in each match they play.

Ahhh Chris Gayle comes in. You know there won’t be any quick singles or twos being run.

And a daft wicket where Simmons holes out straight to Livingston.

And offers nothing in the field. Won’t move more than a couple of feet either side of where he’s standing.

Windies have answered the question of which team will turn up today. The shite one.

Blimey.

England fielded brilliantly and bowled well but think this says more about the Windies. A team behind the times. Dot dot slog

Well that was pathetic.

Would rather an Ireland or Oman get the 'can't be arsed' Windies spot.

That is the third-highest dot-ball percentage in a T20I innings of at least 60 balls played by an ICC full member. Above this are Afghanistan against England and Ireland against Kenya. west Indies feature twice in the top five.

If you are playing for England, you need to demonstrate that you are a complete and utter prick.

I believe that Jason Roy has fulfilled most of the requirements.

Gayle just shits me with that can’t be arsed attitude. He’s a six or out batsmen. Doesn’t rotate the strike, doesn’t run hard, doesn’t even seem to care when he gets out. If you want to play baseball then piss off and play that. How much pressure does he put on the team when it’s five dot balls, a six and then out. Plus you know that you’re only fielding with 10 players.
