I think england will win 2-0, they are really good at saving games as they showed against sri lanka, so they won't lose.

Eng 326/9 atm..15 runs ahead. With 2 days left it's still anyone's match, weather permitting.
Btw, does anyone else think that Best's celebration after his first wicket (Thorpe) was a bit OTT? I know it was his first wicket and all that, but...

yea his celebration was crazy..........but face it gettin ur first test wicket.........will always result in such a behaviour. Even if it wasn't simon jones first test scalp, when dismissin the great man b.c.lara, he almost cried huggin freddie!
very interseting test though. a score of 285 to make on the last day will certainly prove handy weather permitting.

Yeah, fair point Rocklara...he certainly is an 'in your face' character. Good luck to him I s'pose.
I think Jones' reaction was sheer joy and relief, not only for getting a wicket (Lara's an' all) but for coming back into Test cricket after his career threatening injury.
You're right in that this game is set up for a cracking finish (weather permitting, as you say). England won't want to chase anything more than 230-250 on day 5. Still anyone's game, and it all points to being a close series.
Btw, you going to any games?

The West Indies cricket team have taken the unprecedented step of issuing a public apology following their humiliating defeat in the first Test at Sabina Park. They were bowled out by England for 47 inside a session on the fourth morning, losing the match by ten wickets.
In an official release, the team said that they "sincerely apologised to the West Indies public for the shocking performance on the fourth day".
It was not only the defeat that caused uproar in the Caribbean. Immediately after the match, four of the West Indian squad were reportedly seen in one of the stands drinking and partying.
Ricky Skerritt, the West Indies manager, didn't mince his words. "I am disgusted at the thoughtlessness and shamelessness displayed by these players following such a horrific performance," he said, before insisting that the team would work tirelessly to fight back.
Gus Logie, the team's coach, was reported to be equally angry, but restrained himself in public, saying: "We will continue to ask the players for a higher level of discipline and a higher level of commitment to themselves and West Indies cricket."
