Story West Indies International Season: (Current - SA tour of WI)

[The Champ]

Bliztkrieg By Powell and Gayle!!!!!!!! :hpraise

WI have made a blistering start to their run chase here in Port of Spain.

Both the openers have gone after the Kiwi bowling with lots of Positive attitude that both of them really tored into the Kiwi attack.

WI are 90-0 at end of 12overs, Powell 45 from 37 balls, Gayle 34 from 36 balls have really provided great entertainment to the capacity crowd in Queens Park Oval.

Martin 6 overs for 45
Mills 6 overs for 35

 

[The Champ]

These two are looking in murderous form and really NZ are feeling the heat in the middle.


Powell 45 from 37 balls 7 4's


Gayle 34 from 36 balls 5- 4's

 

[The Champ]

Tony Cozier: Some more details about those exciting 12 overs viewers.





WI 90-0 from 12 overs, need 122 from 38 overs 3.2 RPO, 10 wkts in hand

 

[gold639]

I wouldn't be surprised if Powell makes a century.

 

[boss]

Ya!, incl of powell in the top order is the grt idea, if he starts to play like this, then any total to chase might look smaller!.

Thats a fantastic start from Gayle and Powell. I am a big fan of Powell after seeing his batting in a Singapore tournament against India. Hope he scores a century and wins the match for the West Indies

Score Update 20 overs

WI cruising home

Well WI are crusing at end of 20 overs they are 135-2 with both openers back in the pavillion.

Powell 65 from 60 balls, 10-4's caught Marshall bowl Martin.
Gayle 38 from 38 balls, 06-4's caught Mccullum bowl Oram

 

[gold639]

Powell will be disappointed not to reach a century after batting so superbly.

Nice change to see the Windies dominating

 

[The Champ]

Powell reached his fifty with single to mid on., What a wonderful innings that really has put WI on top here to level the series 2-2.

Powell acknowledging the crowd's applause

 

[gold639]

Its good to see that he took alot of 1's and 2's,as he only got 32 runs from boundaries.

 

[The Champ]

Gayle was the first to be dismissed when the attempt sweep landed in the hands of Mccullum.



Soon rush of blood forced Powell to play a poor shot and was caught by Marshall.


Lara 12* and Sarwan 4* are at crease.
WI 135-2 from 20 overs, still need 77 from 30 overs

 

[gold639]

Now all Sarwan and Lara have to do is keep calm,and keep the scoreboard ticking over.

Great performance by the West Indies here. Amazing start by Ricardo Powell and Chris Gayle. Now they can just chill and ease their way to a second victory in this series.
