http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379 risking disciplinary action after criticising the umpires - Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, could invite serious trouble for the Trinidad
player for criticizing match officials, risking a disciplinary action against himself. Bravo termed the decision as “game changing” which immediately followed with a batting collapse from the visitors.
"It's okay, umpires do make mistakes -- that's accepted -- but not when they see the referral as well and realise they've made the wrong decision and then stand by it. It was a game-changing moment, and it was always difficult then to get a big total. If
the decision had gone a different way, it might have been a different ball game," the 28-years-old said.
The Windies were going strong at 63 for no loss and Gayle had already struck three fours and five sixes in his http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Steve-Stuart-Wayne-Liburd-c91264 innings of 53 off just 51 deliveries, before he was adjudged leg before wicket. The left-handed opener asked for a review but Sri Lankan
third umpire http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Handunnettige-Deepthi-Priyantha-Kumar-Dharmasena-c61394, after taking a long time, ruled out against it. The loss immediately derailed the West Indian innings and soon they were 79 for four.
"We lost our way in the middle there. Pollard and I fought our way back, but we were not in a position to have the firepower to finish off the innings."
Bravo was the top-scorer for his side and struck 77 off 82 balls while sharing a useful 100-run partnership with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KA-Pollard-c1754 and took his team’s total to a respectable 238 for 9. Prior to the match, the all-rounder had said that, he fancied his team’s
chances for a win against England and urged his teammates to make things happen.
In reply, the Englishmen made a mockery of the tourist’s total and inflicted another heavy loss. The English captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026, struck his fifth One Day International (ODI) century and took his team home with an eight-wicket victory, consequently sealing
the series. Last weekend, the hosts had already beaten the visitors by 114-runs at Southampton.
The third and final ODI is due to be played at Leeds on June 22; with an unassailable 2-0 lead the hosts have already clinched the series.
