I think that we need a huge bowling performance from Jimmy A for us to win this.
We are a good bowling side, but not a good batting side.

161-6 after 20 then. Broad hit 10 off the last 2 balls. I think that could be crucial. Especially with DL coming in to it.

Not a bad total...getting Gayle early is the key.

BOOM, what a hit by S.Broad.
What was he doing coming in so late?
For my money he should be at #5 instead of Paul Collingwood.
Failing that he should replace the flat track bully at the top of the order.

I don't understand or agree with us putting our 3 big hitters in the top 3 positions because once they've gone we have no one to hit the big ones. And before Broad got those boundaries we'd gone over 40 balls without one.

One thing that no-one can deny is that when Broad hits it, it stays hit.

Also, a bowling attack with 2 full-time spinners is not going to appreciate the wet ball, and wet pitch.
I say Windies will win this.

It could either way. Let's be honest we've defended 2 totals lower than this against 2 better sides.

It could go neither way. Stupid weather.

We're gone unless they play 5 overs or more.

I'm only 10 miles from the Oval, and we've just had about 6 inches of rain in 30 minutes, if that hits no more play.

Bowling Jimmy.
As I said earlier, to progress we need a match-winning performance from our talisman, and gawd bless 'im he has stepped up to the plate in his first over.
