2019 Cricket ODI WC

Jaapies start cautiously against India, but it doesn't help Amla against Bumrah who goes for a cheap 6 runs. Then Faf French cuts his first ball for four - very lucky not to chop on, which would be close to "game over" very early in the piece.

Bumrah must be a nightmare to face with that staccato run-up and then the pace from the whip of the arm.

de Kock gone cheaply as well - caught in the slips. 24/2

Not showing much steel - Steyn-less steel. No Ngidi either.

Where's my coat!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Everything about Bumrah is wrong.

His action says "first change for the 2s" but he's a gun. The speed gun says late-130s but he has even the best batsmen jumping around. Just wrong.

South Africa getting fingered. Duminy reviewed the plumbest LBW ever.

By Bumrah ?

A brief resurgence from the Jaapies - but, now the spinners are taking them apart.

89/5

The one from Chahal that got Van der Dussen looked like it actually swerved to leg and spun back. VdD was looking to reverse sweep, but he was done like a dinner.

Windies finally get a ball on target and Finch edges it

[Donsteppa]

It's either 5 wides, a jaffa to get rid of Finch, a massive wide over the batsman's head, or Khawaja getting sconed. A brilliant lottery!

[Chris B.]

This Oshane Thomas is more than handy.

He's making things happen. Gets Finch with a beauty and then smacks Khawaja in the head.

Big boy bowling heavy balls!

[Higgins]

Deputy King Cheat Warner out for three Australia 26 for 2

[mariner4life]

Fuck off Warner you cheaty angry dwarf!!!

[No Quarter]

Ohh what a catch!

[mariner4life]

Waj got the willies and went the windy wave. Didn't like the short stuff.

[Donsteppa]

Brilliant catch. The Windies pace attack is a nostalgic 80's throwback so far.

Ripper wasn't it?

[Chris B.]

Yeah - the Windies sorted the Waj out!

Great catch. Looking a bit like the Windies of old. Some real intimidation factor.

[Donsteppa]

Now Maxwell does a No Show!

[Chris B.]

Maxwell doesn't want a part of it either!

38/4

[mariner4life]

Shit shot. Fuck off.
