On the front foot attacking England generally look good.
It's under any duress they just give up.

Saw the end of the Somerset game yesterday. Always find the English domestic limited overs tournaments enjoyable.

Windies side is very young and seems to be improving.

Hope they don't all fuck off and become t20 Twits in a couple of years.

It's meant to be entertaining but cricket is meant to be a contest between bat and ball.
