England beats West Indies to stay alive in World Cup

England stay alive in this WC. And who was the man who threw from the deep? It was Trott. Unbelievable scenes out there at Chennai. The West Indian side are shell shocked. Pollard and Sammy sit with expressionless faces. Strauss pumps his fist, his left one tthat is as the throw came in from the deep.

Benn almost dragged it back on, there was no 2nd at all, Benn may be close to 7 feet tall, but even his huge frame can't make it for an impossible second. Trott picked it up from fine leg and had to send in an accurate throw.

He did to Prior and he demolished the stumps. The England camp are jumping up and down. England take a bow. The people in the West Indies will be gutted, as will be the ones in Mirpur and Chittagong. One of the best games of this WC. Hell, you can say that about all the games that England have played in this WC. All of them humongous nail-biters. Great fun to commentate and even greater fun to watch the game as a true cricket fan.

England have bounced back after the Gayle storm that struck Chennai for the first ten overs, they took wickets in regular intervals and they have kept the quarter final hopes alive. The spinners set it up for them, Tredwell took 4, Swann took 3 and they rattled the dodgy middle order of West Indies. Outstanding game this, the joy on the faces of the English players tell a thousand stories. The wickets of Pollard and Sarwan were key, and once they went, it was a touch too much to ask from the West Indian tail. England have 7 points now and are below India in the points table.
