[Buxtonclaret]

Wide eyed just watching that over.

[Bosscat]

Oooops

Salt got shaken in 1st ball of 3rd over ffs

[ClaretTony]

England 13/2 off 2.1 overs - Buttler & Salt gone

[Buxtonclaret]

Salt got shaken in 1st ball of 3rd over ffs

But not stirred.

[Bosscat]

Bloody rain

[ClaretTony]

Bloody rain

Atherton just asking about the rain and told that this is how it is in June in the Caribbean.

Ridiculous isn't it

[ClaretTony]

Ridiculous isn't it

It’s a nonsense playing it there in June

[Buxtonclaret]

Good lad, Harry.

[ClaretTony]

England 122/5 from 10 overs. Should hopefully be enough as long as we don’t get any more rain.

DLR adjustment leaves Namibia requiring 127.

[Bin Ont Turf]

Got to love all those colonial names playing for Namibia.

[TheFamilyCat]

I've never seen a batter retired by his own team before.

[Acting Claret]

Got to love all those colonial names playing for Namibia.

Being played on the site of an old plantation.

Being played on the site of an old plantation.

Will suit us more than the Germans then.

[Buxtonclaret]

Who's staying up watching the Aussies doing a rain dance?

That's about the only thing then Lancashire has in common with the Caribbean

A few years ago, I watched a documentary exploring the claims that many Nazi's had fled to Argentina, much evidence was produced but the Argentinian authorities claimed that the numbers were " vastly exaggerated " ...

A few days later, the Argentinian 7's squad was announced for the 2016 Olympics ... The 12 man squad included " Juan Imhoff ( the surname of a noble family of Nuremberg ), Axel Muller and German Schulz " ...

[FCBurnley]

Never seen Aussies bowl so many long hops and drop relatively easy catches. 7 at the last count. Let’s see if the batters can look more interested

[Benson]

Fcking joke

[ClaretDiver]

What a 6 to win! Thought the Aussies had choked at one point!

[Darthlaw]

The Scottish lost that in the most Scottish way possible

Good effort by Warner to throw the game, though.

[jdrobbo]

Aussies home with two balls to spare. You could say it was a perfectly timed performance but in the first ten overs, the running of singles was so slow and there was a complete reluctance to push for twos. Travis Head scored three 6s and a wide from the first three balls of the 14th or 15th over and former Lancs player, David, blasted a quick 24 at the death to bring the win home for Australia. I genuinely think they were playing with England there!

I thought Scotland was going to pull off a famous win but the Australian guy's proved to strong..

Scotland set their outfield that badly from the 14th over onward, that Australia couldn’t continue the charade and lose. The lad dropping the penultimate ball just showed how bad they were.

Stoinus and Head batting was sublime, mind.

[Buxtonclaret]

Windiest 141/3 off 15

Anyone else daft enough to have stayed up watching?

[Buxtonclaret]

143/4 off 16.5

[Buxtonclaret]

162/4 off 18
Woody getting thumped!

[Dressinggown]

Yep me ?

[Buxtonclaret]

180/4 off their 20

[Dressinggown]

Just wack some sixes and show some pretty lasses in the crowd on the telly.

[Dressinggown]

Salt needs to get a score.

[Dressinggown]

Not losing early wickets will be key.

[Buxtonclaret]

Can't see Salt staying quiet.

[Dressinggown]

Hitting the boundaries.

[Dressinggown]

Have it !

[Buxtonclaret]

No wickets down after 6.

[Buxtonclaret]

Superb running!

[Dressinggown]

Sh*t. I'm going to be a bit under par tomorrow.

[Buxtonclaret]

Sh*t. I'm going to be a bit under par tomorrow.

Me too.

[Buxtonclaret]

Yep. Looked out real time.
Jos gone.
67/1

[Buxtonclaret]

84/2
Moeen gone.

[Dressinggown]

Go on Jonny lad.

[Dressinggown]

Good stuff!

[ClaretDiver]

Woke up for work and saw the last few overs….cracking stuff!

[jdrobbo]

Magical from Salt. Now this is an encouraging victory!

[Clive 1960]

Magical from Salt. Now this is an encouraging victory!

was a even game for a while but soon as Johnny came to the crease he opened is arms and after seeing spinners off Salt himself started enjoying the pace and hit one over for 30 , really enjoyed it

[FCBurnley]

Can't see Salt staying quiet.

Was that enough for you

[FCBurnley]

Windies had a right royal opening pair !!!
