England in West Indies

[King Pietersen]

Pollard out. Just need to get Chanderpaul out now, he should have been out earlier, but Prior can't catch.

What was that umpire doing as well? Needed Chanderpaul to shout at him before he gave a no ball, was a clear no ball, but an awesome catch from Harmison. Made up for the sitter he dropped in the last game. Right decision made in the end, don't know what Botham's so riled about, was just crap umpiring. Get over it.

It is also not guesswork, D/L is a mathematical system using resources. I'm vastly in favour of D/L, it is not 100% accurate, but then it won't be, because you will anomalies in any sets of data.

It is guesswork because it predicts what's going to happen it doesn't know what's going to happen. The match yesterday was in the balance could have gone either way. And intead of playing they used D/L to decide it.

Dyson wrongly calling them in didn't spoil the game because it would still have been spoilt even if West Indies had been ahead on D/L it would have just cheated England out of the possibility of a win not West Indies.

Im glad that shiv scored runs but he kept Pollard of the strike for allot of that batting powerplay.

Wonder what a good score would be here.

We need to stop picking out Collingwood...

You are so knowledgeable about cricket.

Always jumping at the opportunity to say something nice about me, thank you. <3

Brainless batting by some of these windies batsmen, their goal should be to give chanders as much strike as possible.

Impressed with Englands.... err... walking in the with bowler?

Not that bad in the end.

Would of liked to see Rashid play though instead of Batty.

 

[Themer]

Did well to restict them so well. Colly was brilliant both in the field and bowling. Should be a good chace.

You should be looking to pick the best side to win games in the present day. What's the point in picking a side for the future if you're still losing in the present day?

Our best side has been losing consistently for some time.



The game is set up nicely for a good chase, lets hope the rain holds off and we dont have and d/l finish. :

 

[aus_maestro]

England brought that back well tbh. Windies only have themselves to blame for not giving Chanders enough strike. With Chanders batting like that, 300 should have been made easily.

 

[King Pietersen]

Bopara gone Was looking really good out there, the ball kept a little low, tough for Rav, he's due a big score soon! Just hope KP gets in now, if he fails we lose.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

n00bs could do better than that!!!

Bopara was looking really good out there as well, thought he'd make a big score. Shame. But England can still win and they can say they rule, maybe as much as Man D rules.

 

[King Pietersen]

Yeh, I thought he was going to make that big score today as well. I really hope he gets one soon, and builds an international career, as he really is one of the most naturally talented batsmen in England. He can play the slow Test innings, but can then destroy an attack in an ODi or T20. Just really looking forward to when Ravi finds his feet on the international stage and starts to come good. He could be a really class batsman.

England have lost. Pietersen out.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

n00bs are going to crumble and fail now that Pietersen's gone.

Shah better do well now though.

Yeah, he only played a few shots but they looked really good. They ruled! Like Man D rules.

 

[Leicester Fox]

If we had Trott coming in now nobody would be worried.

 

[King Pietersen]

Trott would open though right?, so would still be out there, he wouldn't be coming in at 5 surely?

 

[Leicester Fox]

Well he could open. I would rather he was in the middle order but opening seems the only place he'll get a chance.
