England meet (and beat) West Indies again, in World T20 warm-up.

Filed under T20 World Cup Warm up games

Luke Wright hit an attractive 75 not out, with 5 sixes, to seal this warm-up game for England.

England and West Indies players must have each other's spell now.. Thanks to their respective boards, these two teams have played 7 tests, 8 one day internationals and a Twenty20 match between them in last 3 months.

Today, they played another. a an official Warm-up to T20 world cup but an un-official International cricket match, West Indies captain Chris Gayle pulled out first rabbit out of his hat by neither batting or bowling or fielding or captaining his side as they struggled against English boys.

Electing to bat first, West Indies got off to a decent start with Andre Fletcher and Xavier Marshall putting on 31 runs for first wicket. Shivnarine Chanderpual and Kerion Pollard departed early and dismissal of Xavier Marshall in 10th over pegged Windies back a great deal. Ramnaresh Sarwan, batting unusually down the order at number 6, scored valuable runs towards the end to take his team to a respectable total.

England started with Ravi Bopara and Luke Wright, an attacking move which came off very well today against less inspiring new ball bowling from Lionel Baker and Fidel Edwards. Bopara, in form with back to back test match century against same attack, unleashed wide range of shots which gave confidence to young Luke Wright at other end. A powerful wrist player, Wright finished up with 5 sixes and 8 fours in his innings and saw his team home.

Joanna Broad, sister of England allrounder Stuart Broad, made her debut as analyst of English cricket team today. Hopefully, she'll show her brother a video of how he runs without appealing for lbw, which may cost him penalties from ICC!
