Turgid Twenty20 for 20

I’m falling asleep...

sorry Middlesex and T&T,

but this is terminally boring.

The ideal soporific.

Good night (yawn)...

Will WIndies take it from the Oz...?

Well ! It looks as if the WIndies are finally taking the fight to the opposition...

It's good to see (sorry, I mean hear - I'm listening to this stream from the WIBC site (you can keep for future reference) )

Sadly, there are now eight wickets down. It is good to note, however, that the WIndies are not going belly-up like they did at Durham Riverside last year...

The crowd are getting behind their 'boyee' Sulieman Benn (who is now just been out for unlucky 13!)

"This West Indies team can turn this corner and turn it very qu

ickly" according to the great man Sir Vivian Richards... encouraging the resurgent Windies team not to feel deflated even though the team may lose this afternoon to a gritty, determined Australia.
"they want to see a fight where the West Indies is concerned" Sir Viv again, referring to the hopes of the swelling crowd in the Kensington Oval (quite).

Looks as if the West Indies (new name required for the 21st century) are starting to really pick themselves up at 387 for 9. About time.

At least they're not New Zealand.

UPDATE: Australia have just taken the final wicket. 387 all out "they've put up a tremendous show here"... Jim Maxwell talking of the WIndies valiant, but ultimately doomed attempt to take this match back from Australia. Eighty-seven runs was the difference in the end. Australia had to struggle for this one. Fair play to the Oz. Great match to follow today, and all credit to Sir Viv for "keeping hope alive(!)"

Simon Katich is the Man of the Match for his 158 (or 157) runs. Shivnarine Chanderpaul gets Man of the Series for over 400 runs in the series.
