West Indies vs England, Only T20I at Port of Spain, Mar 15 2009 - Match Result

And that was a thoroughly deserved win for West Indies, they outplayed England in every department and while the scorecard shows they only won with 12 balls to spare, that doesn't reflect the manner of their victory.

England started well but fell apart, Benn and Sammy strangling the life out of the innings as the last nine wickets fell for 66 runs. West Indies also got off to a flier but kept going, and England gifted too many runs through extras and bad balls to give them any hope of pulling something out from the fire.

Khan to Dwayne Bravo, no run

across his stumps and worked to mid-on, the throw from Mascarenhas hits the stumps and the batsmen momentarily thought of an overthrow

15.4

•

Khan to Dwayne Bravo, no run

down the leg side, a sure-fire wide had it not clipped his pad, Davies takes it well diving to his left but the appeal for the catch was not seriously considered ... Khan looked bemused but he hadn't seen that Davies had dropped it anyhow!

15.3

•

Khan to Dwayne Bravo, no run

beaten outside off stump, the ball passes the inside edge as he plays back

That's England's eighth wide ...

•

Khan to Dwayne Bravo, no run

and the rarest of Twenty20 beasts, a leave outside off stump

They're on their feet in the stands as Sarwan heads off, and they on them stay to cheer Bravo to the rafters on his international return on his home turf.
