Aye suppose so, hard to criticise him after that knock, some of the West Indies batsmen need to have a look at themselves

Maybe I’m being harsh to be fair

He had 8 balls to get 6 runs, with jimmy neesham bowling, just think he needed to switch gears

Didn't look like he fancied the other lad to get 6 singles between them, could have taken one and hoped for a boundary ball in the last over but the way he was hitting there was no reason for him not to take that shot on

What I mean is he was letting bad balls go because they were short n he couldn’t him them for 6

Should have been thinking a 2, single of last ball then 3 off final over

Problem is he is a big hitter and he possibly thought that was in the slot. A fine margin between a winning hit and out, I am not sure his was as worse as Moeen's mind
 
Just watching the Windies highlights, what an atmosphere like, I don't think there is anything better in sport than a chase in cricket that goes right to the wire, especially with 1 wicket left

the longer the format the better it is as more riding on it

Such a shame last shot wasn't 2 feet higher

Just goes to show you don't need 700 runs in a day to make the game exciting .
Both nail biters and in the case of India vs The Afgans a very low scoring game with the underdog just missing out .

Because cricket is a contest between bat and ball, not a contest to see who can hit it the furthest

I look forward to the new found interest in 50 over cricket in next years domestic 1st class 50 over competition.....
