<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> -

<p>England won in 2010, Windies in 2012. Their T20 teams don't need redeeming, in contrast Australia, NZ, SA, given T20 should be right up their alley - and SA have hosted, need redeeming. They've been pigshit. Running up to this England beat NZ, Aussie, India & then thrashed Pak 3-0 in UAE</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Its like saying the Fijian sevens team making a final is redemption because their 15's team is utter shit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Add to that England won it last time with a bunch of guys no one had heard of (bar KP), and are in the final this time after dumping alm ost all their specialist T20 players, guys like KP, Bopara, Wright, Carberry who have been lighting up shit like the Big Bash. </p> -

<p>its nothing like the 7s team..</p>
<p>most of the cricket teams are generally the same.. and im pretty sure they have the same coach(es).. and most of the time, the same captain..</p>

<p>In T20's? Bullshit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They are barely half the team usually - often less than that. And the same captain is rare. Bailey used to be the specialst short for Aussie captain. Afridi leads Pak, Morgan England, when England won it last Collingwood was the captain & the likes of Lumb & Keiswetter were stars.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Look at our bowling unit. Only Satner plays tests, Nmac, Mitch, Milne, Elliot are all T20 & sometimes ODI only guys. Munro is batting 3. Boult couldn't get a game & he's ranked what 7th in the world in tests & FIRST in ODIs. Anderson is ranked 12 in ODIs & Jordan 76. Anderson doesn't get in the T20 squad</p>
<p> </p>
<p>England are using their specialist T20 unit (No Broad or Anderson there), the guy who fucked us - Roy, has never played a test, Eoin Morgan is a specialist short form captain, Andre Russell has played one test & 40 T20's. Charles has never played one. Glenn Maxwell is close to the highest paid T20 player around, nowhere near the Aussie test side. Toss in Faulkner, Finch, Pollard, literally 90% of the top T20 guys are T20 specialists who get a decent shot at ODIs maybe but are nowhere in tests.</p> -

<p>Really thought the Windies were toast during that chase but they have players all the way down the order who can hit big. Stokes really contributed in that last over, leg stump half-volleys, no yorkers when he needed only a couple of good ones.</p>
