And it's all over. And you know what, I'm happy they lost. The money will mean a whole lot more to the Windies to start with, but the whole things just been a farce.

fair play to the west indian kids, they deserve the money. the sad thing is that the money will mean more to them than any cricketing achievement.
that wasn't a game of cricket tonight.

I used to like T20 but there is no ebb and flow in this form of cricket at all. I also think that we missed Jimmy A big time today. He can bowl, field and of late has become an awesome bat  |

By the way, I didn't see any of the game, I am just basing my opinion on the result |

Bowling was't really the issue, by the time only Patel had managed to get into double figures in our innings the bowling was irrelevant.

Totally boring game of 20/20, wasted a Saturday night watching that rubbish, so called top class batsman trying to force the issue early and having their leg stump knocked out of the ground, should really take a long hard look at their technique, this 20/20 will really kill the test batsmen of the future.
With the amount of talent we had out last night with the bat, a steady first five overs and then go for it would have made a lot of sense, not once were the young WI under pressure.

The whole thing was a farce from start to finish including last nights game. The English players had mentally banked the money forgetting they had to beat a decent team on their own patch. Stamford is an absolute fucking chancer. The ECB should be ashamed of themselves as they have acted like pimps and the England players like high class hookers.
It should never have been an England team - a Pietersen XI maybe.
Yet again our cricketers are chokers.
To hear Collingwood say he's never felt under so much pressure is a bit of a pisser from someone who has played in Ashes series.
This has done absolutely nobody any favours others than the Stamford Superstars.

Apparently Mr Stamford has done a runner since the fraud allegations came out.
Good old boy!

So would I if I'd defrauded people to the tune of £5 billion.

Rod Bransgrove is advocating the returning of the Stanford's money. Bransgrove was always against T20 was he not?
If Bransgrove becomes a member of the ECB hierarchy I imagine the T20 push will end quickly.

It's a bit like Robert Maxwell, if you make your fraud so big, and compromise a few politicians along the way, then you stand more chance of getting away with it. Dear old Brain Hillier, got a year at Her Majesty's Pleasure, and STFC a demotion for a piddly bit of dodgy dealing.....Maxwell got nothing and the scum got nothing for funding their success on the back of embezzled funds. |

... the coward has done a runner, I predict a Maxwell-esque conclusion.
