Great Start vs. Great Finish :WC 2015

Explain that 372 runs partnership by Gayle and Samuels.

No Finishers got a Knock  : The Starters and the Finishers were one and the same  ::LOL::

Mail trying to sort out his mental capacity on the England vs.Scotland thread :

where dillinger and me is reviewing : great starts dont necessarily mean great finishes   

There seems to be a trend for settled batsmen to do well, while batsmen coming in late struggle to get going. It's much better when the finishers get in early, though not necessarily as early as Gayle and Samuels did.

England were not convincing for me because any top team in form would have scored in excess of 350 runs given the position England were in. They had wickets in hand and yet still they were restricted for little over 300 runs. England still have work to do if they want to make it out of the group stages.
