Massive 6!

12 off 7.

[Chazza]

8 off the last over.

India need wickets.

[Chazza]

**** me the Windies have done it.

[gratziani]

big balls from the indies there

[Shaggy]

Gayle out and there go the Windies chances.

That's what I thought too. Amazing game again.

It might of been an amazing game but cricket it isn't. Smashing the **** out of the ball baseball style and the rest is fun to watch but it has little to do with real cricket.

Who are you W. G Grace?

There is a place in cricket for T20. It allows the game to also have a format which can last for 5 days and end in a draw. It's exciting, unpredictable and a format that is an easier sell for kids.

It's also more interesting than Baseball

I pretty much agree. I'm no fan of T20 but it's growing on me.

T20 has become a much better game in recent years - for ages once a team got on top the game was over, now there are swings and narrative and it feels like a proper contest. You just have to adjust your expectations for what is good/bad scoring. You can now see that teams have proper plans and can be reactive - the tactical element that makes cricket great is there now.

Also a lot of the most consistent batsmen play predominantly 'proper' cricket shots the majority of the time.

Great celebrations from the windies ladies after winning it.

[RichC]

The missed run out by the Aussies was hillarious

[Chazza]

The celebrations are infectious they are all so happy.

Brilliant.

[RichC]

They batted brilliantly tbh. Deserved the win
