England in West Indies

[King Pietersen]

I hope these wickets don't frighthen West Indies. They can still win the match.

The win is firmly out of their minds. They're desperately fighting for the draw now, they won't risk trying to go at 4 an over to win the game. Especially with the ball turning.

I think its time for Broad or Anderson to replace this crapfest monty.

Monty got crucial first innings wickets and Hinds has looked dodgy against spin. Not sure why you're on an anti-Monty bash.

Crapfest? Are you watching the game? He's getting good flight, is getting variation in turn, getting abit of bounce, and is working well alongside Swann. I say let him continue alongside Swann. Chanderpaul looks nervous against the spinners.

Also, this is the first time we've had proper Test cricket all series. I'm actually feeling tense and there's a good battle between bat and ball. I suppose there was similar tension at the ARG, but we were 2 bowlers short and the pitch wasn't turning, so I had doubts whether we could actually win. Really enjoyed today. KP getting a hundred and now some great bowling.

Talking about test matches here.

Last 2 Years in Tests are fine with me.

This is draw now. Chanderpaul'll just close up unless England do something special.

Chanderpaul doesn't look nervous against anybody.

Quoted for truth.

I can see the Windies getting bowled out around him for less than 150 though.

 

[TruSachFan]

Yes, I'm watching the game. Monty just doesnt look convincing. Strauss needs to make a change here.

 

[King Pietersen]

Funny that you're the only one thinking that

Hinds is looking like a walking wicket. Has no defence and is going to do something stupid any minute. Looks completely out of his depth against spin, I'd love to watch him face Murali and Mendis

Umm.. Monty is bowling quite well. He should have had Sarwan and is troubling Hinds.

As long as he's there the Windies will be fine. If he goes however England have a chance.

lol because I watched Chanderpaul against everyone over the last few years, spinners better than Panesar and Swann. 119 tests, nothing he hasn't seen before as a WI batsman.

Wasn't talking to you I don't think, he was answering the person who said Monty was bowling crap

 

[King Pietersen]

That wasn't aimed at you. It was aimed at trusachfan.

o well he got a reply anyways, should feel special

good to see Panesar attempting to break the fastest ball record.
