192-2. Down to if Gayle fires now. Don't think the Windies have enough in them without him doing something... Be interesting to see how he copes with spin during the power play instead of seam which he loves. If he fires 192 ain't enough in Mumbai. Gayle gone for 5. Advantage India.

And he never got to face a spinner. The Windies need a new hero. Be nice for them if one of their young guns stepped up to the plate.

Game on 42 needed of the last 4 overs.
Windies doing very well.
India losing the plot?

If the windies win this that's all their luck used up

Brilliant from the Windies.
But what was Dhoni thinking of - having Kohli bowl the last over when Ashwin, as good a T20 spinner as there is, could have bowled. He'll get slaughtered for that in India. Nothing worse than a long shot gamble that fails.

West Indies it is in the final. Impossible to call. Can't bloody wait.

Should be a cracking final and we have to hope that the Windies big-hitters fail to fire on the day. Hopefully we can win the toss and bowl first as we seem to be better chasing rather than defending a total.

How to handle the media. This is brilliant from Dhoni.

Cometh the day...
So are we going to be talking Roy, Hales, Root, Stokes, Buttler, ... or Gayle.
We could always be talking about how the dew may even turn the World Cup Final on the toss.
Was also thinking where winning (if we do) the T20 WC rates in international cricket. For me:
1. The Ashes 2. Number 1 Ranking Test side. 3. ODI WC 4. T20 WC
But I'll still be made keen and gutted if we loose.

Well we're underway.
Good luck England.
Windies opening with a spinner - and get a wicket with the second ball. Roy gone.

Luckily we bat deep as the openers have bottled it.

Time to stand up and be counted now Morgan.

Not the best start Superb start for the Windies! I fancied them to win it before the T20 WC started.

On the plus side it means Butler is in early - which if we are going to post a big score is good news!

Lessons from this World Cup.
No.1 - in T20, pick your best 11, then pick your captain.
Morgan's failures are so predictable. There is no good explanation for his inclusion other than the fact he is captain.

Root looks in typically good nick as well. Root look great. We've got our two best batsmen in. We need them to stay in for a good while yet. If they do, we will be in a good position.

Not really much into cricket, but in T20 what's a good score...

We'll need a miracle to win this now, chocked on the big occasion.

We'll need a miracle to win this now, chocked on the big occasion. Very hard when you lose three early wickets against a good bowling side. If we can get to 140 we have a chance if we can get early wickets. Not over yet.

I just can't see the West Indies failing to chase down any bring we set now, we haven't got the bowlers to restrict them. The way we played Badree was very poor, but no surprise at all.

I admire your optimism but I can only see one winner from here on.

Their star bat is hit and miss. Let's hope he's miss today. Believe!

I was really surprised to hear that our score is one of the highest in a t20 final. Dunno if that gives me hope or it just shows how the game is progressing.
