But what a fuckibg bizarre final over.<br><br>
Something like<br>
Wide<br>
Missed run out lobbing it over the bowlers head<br>
Wide<br>
Missed run out ... sort of ... bowler in front of stumps missed on first swipe at bails then got them with the second and batter short (on replay ... i thought she ws at the time) but noone appeals so doesnt go upstairs<br>
Dropped on the boundary and it goes for 4<br>
Single?<br>
Single<br>
Single<br><br>
Might have missed a ball or two and got mixed up but it looked like they were trying to lose it the Windies -
Anyway. Go the Windies.

<p>Jeez -there was some terrible cricket in those last few overs - especially the two set batsmen hitting consecutive balls down deep cover's throat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unbeaten in the round robin we go 0/2 in the semis.</p>
<p> </p>

[Pedant] First wicket was a leftie so it was deep square leg, or a squarish midwicket[/pedant] (sorry if that messes with your punchline ...
) -
<p>West Indies get home with some huge Simmons and Russell hitting - Simmons twice caught off no-balls, added insult to injury the 2nd time by smashing the free hit for 6. Chasing 10/11/12 per over is a lot easier when you can smash regular 6s ..........</p>

<p>Wow, have to say I was NOT expecting the White Ferns to choke like that after they have batted so well in the tournament.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thrilled for the Windies men, haha suck on that India.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But now the Windies have the chance to take the men's and women's double. Whoda thunk that?!</p> -
<p>Thank fuck the Windies won, it would have been vomit inducing if India had gone through (and likely beat the Poms). Given they should have lost to the Bangles.</p>

<p>Its the windies T20 team, you mean "do it for the diamond earing wearing ferari driving multi millionaires!".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And this is a Windies side without Pollard & Narine too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Makes a great final, fingers crossed for a Darren Sammy 50 getting the Windies home, tho' I do feel for Kohli, talk about having to carry your overpaid shithouse teammates.</p> -

<p>Yes, that's what I meant :good1:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also meant, do it for the little guys. Ie: anyone but the piston wristed gibbon 'big three', who think their shit don't stink and that the cricketing world must revolve around them.</p> -
