yorker, middle stump, bowled, thanks for coming West Indies. But maybe not, the way they have played through both the Test and ODI series
England vs West Indies, 3rd ODI at Birmingham, May 26 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Matt Prior is the Man of the Match, Stuart Broad is Man of the Series, Andrew Strauss reckons they will carry confidence into the World Twenty20. See you then. Cheers

So another disappointing show from West Indies. Their bowling was poor on a slow wicket, and ever since Bravo got out the chase just seemed a long crawl towards defeat. There was no Bob Willis commentating either. What price some fun?
low fulltoss, driven down to long-off, still no visual animosity
yorker outside off, plays over it
Anderson to Edwards again
fulltoss, played down the ground
full, on the middle stump, driven to extra cover
low fulltoss, driven to extra cover for one
dropped, even Strauss wants one final go between Anderson and Edwards, Edwards gives it his all, lobs it towards extra cover, Strauss goes one-handed over his head and drops
slower ball, Edwards plays it with an open face towards point
full, outside off, and driven to sweeper-cover
fulltoss on the pads, he plays it down to long-on
Bresnan in to bowl the 49th over, Anderson still has one should Edwards survive this over
this is normal pace, Benn steps out, and pulls it to deep midwicket boundary
slower bouncer, he is too early into the pull, the ball comes 10 minutes later and hits him in the stomach
back of a length, on the pads, and he gets two into the leg side
on the pads, Benn turns it to between deep backward square and deep midwicket
goes for the full and straight one, it's a low fulltoss, and he gets a single down the ground, no words or looks exchanged
Edwards takes guard, Anderson is ready, how about a bouncer at 90mph?
slower offcutter, and he drops it into covers and takes one
Yeah baby, Anderson is back, one for the road with Edwards? C'mon Benn, give us a single
tosses it up wide outside off, Edwards drives, misses completely
Edwards last man in, where is Anderson?
tries one shot too many, makes room, looks to go inside out out, Swann fires it straight, gets the middle stump
steps out and slogs, gets one
goes for the reverse-sweep, misses, his pads save him
slogs it along the ground for one to deep midwicket
good loft over the bowler's head, steps out, gets to the pitch off it and clears his arms
