Twenty20 Cricket - the West indies vs England - divided loyalties? Yes. Exciting match? Yes. Do I understand the DL rule? No!
Yesterday the Windies beat England. England had the 1st and managed to score 161 runs off 5 wickets. When the Windies came in to bat the rain came, they subsequently only had 9 overs to make 80 runs. So how did they respond? As only the West Indies know how, the wacked the ball over the place and scored the necessary runs. Being born to West Indian parents in England I must say that I love to see the Windies win in cricket.
Cricket is a funny old sport. When you consider test cricket it can take days to complete an innings, let alone a match, and after all that it can still end in a draw! At the end of the West Indies vs England match the West Indies captain (Reifer) said that they had been relying on Chris Gayle too much and that this time they all stepped up to the plate and did what they had to do. This is exactly what a good team is supposed to do. The West Indies demonstrated that it is the sum of the parts which make up the whole, but of course having a bright star on your team cannot do you any harm.
