Yeah, what a win for them.
Funny, the only time I turned the game on was during the last 6 overs
Yes, They gave an awesome competition to every team they faced.
Like making 175 against South Africa or the close losses to Sri Lanka and England.
And these were the best 6 out of 40 overs of the match!

Gonna sleep again. Won't be watching England's batting.

If you cannot keep your foot behind the line (especially a spinner), you don't deserve to win.
To give a batsman like Simmons not one, not two but three lives? Ridiculous.

Incredible hitting from Braithwaite but poor from Stokes.
You have 18 to play with and instead of pulling back your length to a guy who is going to stand and deliver, you bowl straight into his wheel arch. Just asking for trouble, especially when he hit the first for six.
Bowl shorter so the worst that can happen is a four, which he would have to do five times with men out on the boundary. Instead, Stokes risks bowling half volleys and got smeared everywhere, where his fielders could not help him.
I think that there is lack of game sense in a lot of teams. Even in T20 there is room to think. It's why Kohli and Root are the best batsmen. 1s, 2s and putting away the bad ball, which can all be done without taking ridiculous risks, wins you games.

Well, the West Indies have shown in the Semis and Final that team effort is a lot more important than individual brilliant performances. Also, their strategy of relying on boundaries rather than quick running between the wickets has payed off (especially on such tracks).
Congrats to the West Indies for now winning the U-19, Women's T20 and Men's T20 World Cup.
As for Stokes, he can take solace from the fact that Broad once got hit for six 6s in an over, but went on to become one of England's most successful bowlers.

Oh, it paid off as they won but it is not as clear cut as that.
Their gung-ho batting got them into a lot of trouble in both the semis and final. Particularly today, they should have knocked them off with no trouble. Instead swinging from the hip virtually lost them the game with only a patient innings from Samuels, some short-sightedness from England and a miracle last over getting them over the line.
Considering Stokes is my favorite all-rounder, I was very saddened by his last over. He should have prefered yorkers. Instead, he kept giving the ball in the favorite region of Brathwaite. Even a mis-hit was a six.§¢§Ñ§â§Ò§à§ã§Ñ;5460247 said:
Just like McCullum in 2015 World Cup.
Both played crucial parts in taking their teams to final but underperformed in the finals itself.
Sad for Stokes.
