Re: England v West Indies at Mumbai - Personablue - 03-17-2016
what an innings to watch, thoroughly enjoyed it. They chased the target like nothing. Samuels gave the start and Gayle took the command later. WI is a force to watch out.

Well I said I wasn't too confident in England, but I wanted to see a decent performance. As far as the England batsman are concerned, even though I think a score of 200 was a achievable I think they played well.
As for the bowlers...I think it's back to the drawing board on that front to be honest. West Indies deserved the victory, on to the next game.

I was able to see excerpts of the match, and even though England was able to make over 180 runs, they were blown away by the West Indies batting performance. It seems that the bowing needs to be much tighter, however, and I hope that there will be an improvement in this area for the following games.

Shame I couldn't watch this .... just too late for me. One poster stated 'controlled carnage' by Gayle 8) ... would've been good to watch

Every innings where Gayle shows his Gayle storm are worth to watch.
You should somehow watch this in highlights or in youtube. I guarantee you that it will be a wonderful investment of time with 11 sixes by Gayle

Well going off what's happening in Englander next game against south Africa at the moment, no lessons have beeb learned and we're a shambles.
If this is all we've got, especially the bowlers, then I'll be glad when we're on the plane home and that wontvve too long off.

Good chase but change in the bowling personnel is required, particularly Toppers and Jordan.
