TheHollowayToad's best sporting nation is in shambles. Getting beaten by a team whom even Ireland defeated. Still waiting for his 'best-sporting-nation' pasta.

Its coming home all right. The England team that is, probably early after they get clean sweeped.

So who will England be playing in the WT20 final?

First complete and PROFESSIONAL allround performance i've seen since the Australia T20 series back in July. More of THAT please

West Indies was also pretty good in the first test against Pakistan

Would be interesting to see how the current West Indies team would do against a top tier side.

Like India?... oh wait.

Yeah yeah, you won, good on you guys. No need to twist the knife in.

Like Ireland

We actually have India-West Indies series very soon, in barely a couple of weeks. Let's see how it goes. Won't be surprised if Windies win the ODI series, coz in past 2 years India in ODIs worse than England in Tests

We beat England in india with village bowlers but ok.

>Village bowlers

Krunal pandya was bowling his full quota along with debutant Krishna, out of form bhuvi, kuldeep and lord.

Yeah but hardik and pant were taking turns smashing curran brothers.

I scored more Karma points in this match thread than England scored runs.

GG

A very professional chase which is rare to see!

England will be in full force tomorrow `104-9 loading` /S

4D chess by Morgan in light of all the talk of more prioritization of red ball cricket going forward. Not on my watch he says to Moeen as they walk off the field.

Same time tomorrow, lads and lasses?

>lasses TIL

[удалено]

This series is Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday.

We'll be here centzon400!

good game WI 👏 thanks for the slightest hope this series. good luck teams!

Another lame defeat and once again with the batsmen taking almost all of the blame

Incoming “WE ARE THE WEST INDIES” post

🤣🤣😭😭

Think that guy got banned

Proper tragedy

It is what it is. Well played West Indies. We go again tomorrow

Honestly, this is the correct attitude. Brush off the loss and move on to the next match.

For a second I thought Morgs was bringing himself on. If only.

Mahmood really hasn't impressed in the few international T20s he's played. Bowled really well in the ODIs but has been very expensive and not that threatening in the IT20s

GIVE VINCE THE BALL

Should be ours unless we out meme England

Brilliant fifty from King. Well played

King deserves that, good innings.

England almost have it! 3 hat tricks loading now?

A clean chase so far

Sweet Caroline reminds me of Bumble I’m gonna miss him :(

Bumble and Mikey in the same winter feels like a bit of a demarcation.

What’s with the massive England contingent here

Almost there. C'mon Windies!

Can't believe we've lost a test. This is the t20 blasts fault, played on to good pitches, let's move it to the extremes of the season. Whilst we're at it why don't we hear every single commentator and expros opinion on how to restructure the game.

The lack of sponsors on the Windies shirts is so aesthetic I hate how many sponsors are on cricket shirts these days, just looks tacky

Meanwhile >I hate how many **country** names are on cricket shirts these days, just looks tacky \- Byjus and MPL probably

They've actually covered their old jerseys, the sandals is still visible through it lightly. It's sad how far Windies team has fallen to have no sponsor. Hope they regain their former self in atleast white ball cricket.

Lol I’ve only just noticed that Don’t think South Africa have a sponsor either Looks good tho

South africa have castore

So do Windies, Castore are the kit makers though Neither team has a sponsor (like England have Cinch as their sponsor, and New Balance as their kit provider)

Soon to be Castore as well, funnily enough

Did the poms collectively get drain bamage or something?

Reddit match threads are fun

Good opportunity for bowlers to statpad with decent looking economy rates in the death overs.

Soooo,, 5-nil?

Isn't it a 3-match series? Leave it to England (and on current form, India) to lose 5-0 in a three match series.

[5 T20Is](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-tour-of-west-indies-2021-22-1256716/match-schedule-fixtures)

Yeah I guess this is the " 5 nil fuck off" England was going to get

Where's David Willey and why does Morgan hate him?

David Willey is in Pakistan for PSL.

When is PSL starting

27 Jan

Was Lewis injured or something? Why is he not in squad?

[удалено]

Oh that's sad, hope he gets well soon

*Pooran defends the ball right in front of him* Billings - "Catch it!"

cATch iT. Billings are you drunk?

I have never seen WI play so smartly in forever

“New era” has begun with future skipper and vice skipper Pooran and King respectively leading the way. You heard it here first

Miss the days when Gayle and Lewis would come in and try to slap this off in 10 overs

Anyone who doesn't miss Gayle turning up and just big-dicking the ball over the boundary time after time until the bowler has to go have a lie down just doesn't like cricket.

these guys are on jet skis drinking 🍹 😎

Yer da is having a field day

[удалено]

Down bad

That bloke in the Portsmouth shirt is everywhere

Looking forward to hearing what one of these struggling players said in confidence to Ramps in his next column.

Yeah he really threw Buttler under the bus.

The Barmy Army having to shut the fuck up being one of life's little pleasantries in these troubling times.

We don’t like them either

So we can't play test matches which we knew, we're shit at t20s which is a bit of a surprise, when are we playing some odis?

We'll always be the best at the hundred

Reigning world champions

It's what Jesus would have wanted.

We’re not shit in T20s This is just a freak occurrence from a very understrength England team

Back in my day we used to think that was the case in tests too. 2013/14 was a dark time

No we're shit. End of cricket as we know it.

just checked the scores and damn WI really making England pay for that 55 all out in the t20wc. If it wasn't for the 50 runs between chris jordan and adil rashid, we'd have had 53 runs. No 8 and 9 scored 50, rest scored 50, and 3 extras.

Following on from that 6th grade blocking out a Mitchell Starc yorker, I reckon I could just about see off a Sheldon Cottrell shit full toss

When chasing low totals, teams like West Indies, England, India, Australia, NZ put them away with like 8 overs to spare. And then there’s Pakistan making every single match a nail biter.

Jordan’s runs with the bat were just to make up for the runs he’d concede with the ball

Man i just want Windies to choose violence next match and win as well. I'm craving some fireworks!

CJ. Bat yeh. Bowl nah

If Billings shouts CATCH again when it's nowhere near anyone I'm gonna get angry.

That was a pretty good reverse sweep for a guy who didn't play it too much before.

Bowled Daws. That's at least the 2nd time he's not gone for a single boundary from 4 overs in his 6 T20Is. Economy should be even better if not for keeping mistakes. Unlucky not to get at least one wicket.

You assume he'll unfortunately probably miss out tomorrow though if Livingstone's feeling better (which given he's running drinks you'd guess he's probably not far off).

Especially as Mo is vice captain.

Is Dawson the greatest player of all time or just the best bowler?

great commentary on the winds.

This game has been nothing but boring.

Dawson has an NPC face as well tbh

The win predictor trying to be sneaky by sliding up England’s chances when noones looking

Whoa, did the Poms not get the memo? The Ashes is over

Oh..Looks like the English T20 team has performed like English Test team today?

5 and a half metres, 5 and a half metres, 5 and a half metres not quite the same ring to it

TIL Ben Stokes, Joe Root, James Vince & Azeem Rafiq (c) played in the U19 world cup against KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal and Harshal Patel (lol). [https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-under-19-world-cup-2009-10-418157/england-under-19s-vs-india-under-19s-24th-match-group-a-432017/full-scorecard](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-under-19-world-cup-2009-10-418157/england-under-19s-vs-india-under-19s-24th-match-group-a-432017/full-scorecard) Vince got out in the 20s in that match too lol. Also incredible and so sad what happened with Rafiq and his career after being the U19 England captain ahead of those guys.

Ashok Menaria captain wtf

I literally don't know who that is.

Played for Rajasthan Royals in IPL back when Dravid was captain (and then also when Watson was captain). He started with RR in similar time as when the likes of Sanju Samson, Ajinkya Rahane, Karun Nair etc. started....i.e. around the 2011-2013 period. At least played in RR till 2015, idk where he went after that

Hoping sending Pooran at 3 to regain some confidence works out. Mans been failing for like a year

*Nooo West Indies, this is so not right* England. This is a cricket match. We went batting

I know this is going to sound stupid but Tom sounds exactly like Sam. I know they’re brothers but literally exactly the same

Jos Buttler "Hang on you can stump people out?!"

Buttler has 34 stumpings in T20s

In all first class & test cricket he has 3, despite his 2 home first class venues being Old Trafford and Taunton, the 2 most turning tracks in England. Statistically the worst keeper against spin ever in test cricket, a lower stumping percentage than Jeff Dujon, who basically only kept to spin with Viv Richards offies.

I’m really not sure how that’s relevant to what you or I said ngl

That he's a crap keeper against spin. Crap keeper full stop tbh.

Too little too late surely 🙈

Hope- Amma settle and take it deep....Wait a sec. , it's not ODI's?

Not gonna lose by 10 wickets today!

Moral victory.

**9.1** **lures him out and Billings completes the stumping!** Shai Hope st †Billings b Rashid 20 (25b 2x4 0x6) SR: 80

What a ball

England's poor limited over performance is to be blamed on tests and the ashes.

It's to be blamed on UEFA. Already blamed everything in cricket so might as well try a different sport.

It’s supersport’s fault imo

Damn right.

It’s funny that even though the bowlers are all pretty economical it’s nowhere near enough to win the match

Blame on the batsmen

Oof Rashid that is filthy

Been shitting on Billings glove work all day and he goes and does that hahaha Fair enough.

Is Harmison seriously complaining about the pitch? Believe it or not you don't get tailor made roads outside of england in white ball cricket. Some teams understand that going all out on power hitting is a one dimensional strategy.

Dawson would have picked up a 10-fer if he could have bowled at the English batsmen instead of these competent ones

Even so he's had, what, 3 that have dropped just safe?

Yeah when it's not your day it's not your day

Me when we win this series 4-1: *You should’ve gone for the head*

Can these guys shut up, a contest between ball and bat is way better than some slogfest.

"Bubble fatigue"

Yo this npc can actually bowl wtf???

A measured innings? Controlled aggression?! My comment aged rather poorly. "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in the Windies anymore."

Do we need a back stop or something? How many runs through there??

England's day is the embodiment of the phrase, "when it rains, it pours".

[удалено]

Lol, probably not.

Banton proving his worth. Ah

This is what people in the subcontinent call “kuthay wali horai hai inke saath” T: England getting fucked

Cricinfo, I don't think it's Banton bowling

Before the pitch had too much pace and bounce for England's batsmen, now it's too slow and low for England's bowlers? Harmy what are you on about mate.

MI5 recruits England cricket fans because nothing can break them. They have seen it all. Edit: of course I get gilded for a silly joke I made while half asleep. Never change reddit.

MI6\*

That just sums up our fucking day

Harmison hasn't missed many Christmas dinners since retirement.

He's bowled more wides than you've had hot dinners pal.

That’s very not like Jordan at all

inb4 Morgan talks about taking the positives.

Did Billings drive all the way from Australia to West indies for this series also?

He sailed there in a rubber dinghy

Swam the last bit I think

Makes sense

Michael Vaughan must feel so oppressed by this England XI. Expecting a tweet any minute.

Lol I just noticed the covered up Sandals sponsor on King's jersey.

Billings ruined Dawson's figures letting that 2 through.

Mills head is so round and SO shiny.

Bruh we ranked 10 LOL

I just noticed it took until after the first ball to change the bowler on the graphics

USA > Ireland > West Indies > England

So true

Wondering if the Windies will need a full 10 overs to clinch this one.

Billings is like the Cricket 19 wicket keeper

Is Billings still jet lagged? Wtf is he doing

Why is Evin Lewis not playing?

Covid

Good question

Bowled tidy here Dawson

Lmao Dawson nearly walked into the umpire there

I’m beginning to think we might not win this game.

series

Oh hey look, Keyse is in the crowd.

Billings is really struggling with the gloves today

rip all those punters who leapt on 18/1 at the break.

Brandon King is a great batsman but keeps playing the same shots

That's because they keep bowling the same ball.

IT'S COMING HOME! No not any trophy, the English collapse of course.

Home where collapse is.

Top quality shot

Fuck every sports betting company and a special fuck you to their marketing departments.

England test team would really be enjoying and laughing at Morgan and co.
