Fact is he has had a mediocre 3-4 ODI years but that was always a question of mindset. 50 over cricket requires a significantly different methodology than 20 over and he was just having difficulty translating it. He averages like 14 in the last 2 years in ODI's so this was good for him. | ||

Still when it comes off players like Gayle and McCullum are a joy to watch. Make cricket entertaining even to those who don't consider the game fun. | ||

The one 50-over outing of his that I distinctly remember is his innings in Jaipur against South Africa in the 2006 Champions Trophy semis when he had 133 not out off 135 facing a darn good South African bowling attack - Shaun Pollock, Makhaya Ntini, Andre Nel and Jacques Kallis (and even Graeme Smith didn't give away runs for free with part-time spin.) The two innings of his before this that I remember more vividly were his 88 off 50 at the Oval in the 2009 World T20 (including 27 runs with three sixes and two fours in one over against Brett Lee) and his 75 not out off 41 in Colombo in the 2012 World T20 semis on the way to the Windies winning the tournament (including 6 sixes.) | ||

Shame the West Indes selection process is a bit random at this moment in time. Would be fun to see him in Test cricket again xD Didnt he become the first player to hit a 6 in the opening delivery of a test a couple of years ago vs Bangladesh? | ||

This 50-over side is missing three members of its 2012 World T20-winning team: Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo and Sunil Nerine (though the last was voluntary, as he was not confident that the ICC would clear his action.) | ||

Now they just have to get through at a run a ball. But a wicket and this game could easyily swing. Well they lost the wicket but they bat deep. O Brien did the job.. | ||

edit: LOL, I love this game. Now he's out 12 from 15 needed with 8 wickets down. The bowlers will have to win this one. edit 2: miss hit, fumble in the field and two precious runs. 8 need from 9 edit 3: That swat over the offside should probablly be enough to get them home. UAE will need a wicket to win now. edit 4: Ireland get home. Good entertainment. Ireland have 2 wins from 2 games now? | ||

But all of their top 7-8 are County Mainstays Kevin O Brien has the fastest century in World Cups from when they chased down 300 against England. Joyce, Sterling, Porterfield, WIlson all are very very good players. Certainly better than Morgan :p They chased down 300 just a week ago against the West Indies. If they keeps scores below 300 they make a good fist of it | ||
