Samuels on Warner: "Chat shit get banged"
was there a need to say all that now?

That was from 3 years ago." I woke up this morning with one thing on my mind: Shane Warne has been talking, so this is for Shane Warne. I answer with my bat"

Warne's been chatting shit about Samuels on commentary

He could try not acting like an absolute cnut on the field, then maybe I'll have some sympathy for him next time. Hopefully this will make him a little more humble.

Absolutely. The entire world is listening.was there a need to say all that now?
Horrible captaincy from Morgan though. Should have bowled Ali in the last over. You wouldn't want to let the Windies batsmen face the quicks in the death overs. Stokes was very poor this match.

He could have atleast spent some time discussing options with Stokes. Look at what Dhoni regularly does when it's crunch time ? It may not work every occassion, but he could have done a lot lot more, including the final over. Disappointing from him.He did the best he could. He led his bowlers and gave Stokes 19 runs to play with for the final over. There's no way to guess if Braithwaite wouldn't have done it to Ali or anybody else.

Starting to feel sorry for Stokes. That's his confidence completely shattered. Wonder if he will ever want to bowl in the final over ever again.

It's not the same is it though? But yeah, hopefully you are right. Seems very talented.Broad came back from getting smacked for 6 maximums in an over. I think Stokes will be okay, seems like a confident guy.
But that's not good enough is it ? The moment, he hit that first six, he should have done something about it. Changed fielding, changed the delivery, something. Plans always go out the window. You need to be able to react to a setback like that. All he did was change the ball, like that'll do any good. More than Stokes, I'll probably blame Morgan for this one.Morgan spent about 5 minutes before the over started with Stoke. Not bowing Ali at all was a howler but not much he could have done in the last over.
its gonna be party in the fingers household eh? @fishfingers15
The drinks are on fishfingers tonight! @fishfingers15
I've only been a passive fan of Cricket lately, so don't really know what Ben Stokes is like, why don't you like him?
My wife doesn't watch cricket unless India is playing, so it's just me haha

He has been an arrogant prick since his debut. Sledging all sorts of players and generally being a WUM on the field. Not a fan of that kind of attitude unless you can back it up with constant good performances

Fair enough, shame really though. One of Wiley's overs could have been saved then. And Yeah, Moeen not bowling a single over was a bit silly. He must have been worried that he may go for runs.There's absolutely nothing Morgan could have done there. Stokes is obviously more comfortable bowling Yorkers (or trying to) than slower balls or bouncers. You can't force bowlers to do something they're not comfortable with. It's up to the bowler to execute the plans. And he was talking with Stokes even after the first ball though I'm very skeptical about the merits of continuous whispering to bowlers.
Dhoni just kept asking the bowler to do the opposite of whatever Nehra was telling him.

Probably his last opportunity to say so. They haven't qualified for 2017 tournament and very difficult to see Sammy playing in another 4 years.
