England in West Indies

[Simbazz]

Nice shot by Nash there. I think England should hold up on the new ball, whenever that might be. I think these should be given a good few overs in tandem.

these pitches are killing test cricket.

damn these camera guys are picking out some mint chicks in the crowd. :hpraise

spot on mate. The turn is so slow and their is no seam movement whatsoever.

 

[Dare]

man these commentators are stupid. calling Shahs misfield "good fortune because Gayle ended up getting injured". they did the same thing yesterday when Shiv got hurt.

I don't care who you cheer for you don't cheer when a player gets injured.

 

[Mercules]

Cricinfo says: "Stand closer!" and quite right too. 2 edges have dropped short now in successive overs

 

[Sureshot]

I don't think that is cheering, Dare. It was good fortune for England that he got injured.

Going to be a draw for this game, sadly on a dead pitch like this England need the extra variation that a leg spinner could offer, but England would rather see him sit on the boudry rope.

I am still confident in my prediction.

Monty has bowled better though so fair play to him. I even saw him throw in a 67pmh arm ball earlier.

The_gas added 0 Minutes and 44 Seconds later...

This isn't a dead pitch, apparently.

Go on Bob. Tearing in to Tiffin. In all seriousness how does he get to do this job. He must get paid a fair bit and get free hols to Barbados, we should give me a go, can't be much worse.

This pitch is a road. I don't know whether the recent wickets have made people forget what proper pitches look like but 800 runs for 10 wickets=road. It might not be as bad as some but it's still a great wicket for batting.

All we would hear about is Trott

Pretty sure this is going to be a draw now, unless Windies do an England style collapse

I was talking about the umps job but I would be an awesome pundit as well. In fact that's a good idea, I will email sky sports my CV, me and Bob are the dream team :love

You still would go on about Trott. We would hear you on the stump mic

true, every time someone plays a bad shot "Trott wouldn't have done that mate, you're really lucky the selectors are morons" and I'd just give everyone out to get him in the side.

 

[Highlander999]

LOL, just see you giving KP out for a duck, Dan leaps the ad boards and performs an Andrew Symonds take down on you

 

[King Pietersen]

Prior drops another simple chance. His keeping clearly hasn't improved much. If he continues to under-perform with the gloves then could it be time for a change? Davies or Foster would have to be the ones in contention. No, not Read Lee
