England in West Indies

[ZexyZahid]

If West Indies keeps on blocking they will increase the chance of loosing. They should hit the ball once in a while, so England will be forced to put some fielders further away from the pitch.

and they call Prior a WK in England.

atm I would rate him behind every other WK that plays tests, yes even Akmal.

He's also probably the strongest WK in the batting department, he has had one poor game in this series with the gloves and people are quick to jump on him. Pathetic.

poor? more like he wasn't even there behind the stumps, looks like he is trying to catch the ball with bare hands. yea a good amount weren't his fault but to constantly have ball going between your legs from spinners is a joke.

out of 8 test playing nations he would actually be #9. Sanga and Prasana both better than him.

Just checked the scores at cricinfo. Heading towards another boring draw. BTW, what time is it now in England? It's 12:12 AM in India....and :sleep I'm feeling sleepy. Better shut down my PC and go to sleep.

Prior's keeping has always been his weakest point, but frankly he is a good batsmen, so he should stay in the side. IMO, we should never have dropped old Geraint, but that is gone and Prior deserves the spot.

Ok, England have bowled well, has been exciting to watch. However the game will now end in a draw. I think England needed at least one more wicket to have a chance.

Shows how scores can be misleading.

162 in 35 with 7 wickets in hand. Don't think WI will take any risk. And they are not taking any risks as well. Last ten ovrs they have maintained a runrate of just above 1.

I disagree, he has shown problems with the ball moving after it has pitched and is not at all a pair of safe hands when it comes to catches. Although he has kept to the greatness of Jason Lewry, I don't think the keeping is up to international level.

Interesting that people were saying "Yes, he's improved" after the first two tests of this tour. Jumping on the bandwagon as per normal, he is not a bad keeper, he is having a bad game.

 

[Dare]

that was the English fans saying he improved.

 

[King Pietersen]

This is as good as over tbh. Need some seriously quick wickets, like 3 in the next 5 overs. Not going to happen At least we'll be winning the trophy back in a month or so though

 

[barmyarmy]

Game on!
That looks out.
Huge wicket to get and no reviews (time to start using the correct terminology) left.

 

[King Pietersen]

Chanderpaul given =D Just what we needed. He better not refer and get it overturned.

King Pietersen added 1 Minutes and 24 Seconds later...

Looks good to me, impact inside the line, and not going over. Chanderpaul is out. Get Hinds and Nash quickly and we actually have a chance.

 

[Sureshot]

Game on, this is going to be one very interesting night of cricket. 34 overs or so left, we need a wicket every 5 overs or so.
