Story England's Internationals - England v WI - England win series 2-0

[H0wZ4T!]

Nice interview and I'm sure Fred will enjoy the champaigne

He certainly will, call coastguard and tell them to watch out for an incontrollable pedloe.

Atherton: And your personal form, it must have been disappointed to have been run out twice.

Lara: Yeah you know that was certainly very disappointing. I've got to look to pick myself up now and play well at Old Trafford.

You know, a person from India always predict a double/triple century.. but you always disappoint him


Nice presentation Phil as always

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

​

Gower: Well, now we will take a look back at the 2nd test here at Lords. England came out victorious by 160 runs to take a 2-0 series lead. I am here with David Lloyd and Michael Holding. David, which aspects of this win will England be most pleased about.

Lloyd: Well, I think that West Indian 2nd innings will be pleasing for the England boys. At Trent Bridge, England nearly lost the game by not being clinical second time around with the ball, that changed at Lords, they were really up for it.

Gower: Ok, and good for Kevin Pietersen to get a score after a couple of low one's.

Lloyd: Well, everyone expects KP to get a big one everytime he bats, but he wont always be able to do that. He has looked in good form in recent games, but has just got out, in the 2nd innings here he just went on and played a brilliant KP innings. We needn't worry about him.

Gower: And Michael, disappointing performance from the West Indies.

Holding: Yes David, it was poor. Shivnarine played well, but the others didn't really look bothered. I was baffled by the decision to not bowl Mohammed at all in either innings.

Gower: Brian Lara doesn't seem to be in fantastic touch?

Holding: No he's not in good nick, he needs to spend time in the nets before Old Trafford. The two run outs symbolised his play at the moment.

Gower: So, we'll see you in Manchester at the home of cricket Old Trafford for the third npower test, a week on Thursday.

Yes David, it was poor. Shivnarine played well, but the others didn't really look bothered.

Yes, no team spirit from Windies which is what causing them severe troubles. Nice Analysis Phil Lets see if Lara atleast get triggered this time!

Nice presentation mate, keep up the good work

 

[gamerkid22]

I like the analysis its truely like professional work and 1 suggestion for u that using faces of Gower, Holding etc before their name will make it look even more attractive.

I wouldn't say so. The text flows better without a mugshot.

Sky Sports Guide to Old Trafford​

Ahead of the third Npower Test at Old Trafford in Manchester, David Lloyd went back to his spiritual home of Old Trafford to give you a guide on the ground.

Lloyd: It feels good to be back here, forget your Lords, Egbaston, The Oval, this is the heart of English cricket. This is the 150th year that cricket has been played at Old Trafford, playing host to Lancashire and some fabulous test matches during its time, with the Old Trafford making its Test Debut in 1884.

A bird's eye view of Old Trafford​

The two bowling ends at Old Trafford are the Stretford End and the Brian Statham End, with the pavilion square of the wicket. The pitch here is prepared by legend Peter Marron, famous for preparing fast wickets. This stood up again last year as Steve Harmison and co. skittled out Pakistan for 119.

The famous Old Trafford Pavilion​

Two years ago in the Ashes 2005, thousands were locked out of a packed Old Trafford on the 5th Day of the Test Match, which turned out to be a real nail biter. Old Trafford is going to go under construction work to modernise it and slightly move away from the old-fashioned cricket ground look.

Ashes 2005: Thousands locked out​

Travel to Old Trafford:
Train - Mainline station Piccadilly/Oxford Road/Deansgate
Tram - Old Trafford stop on Altrincham line outside the ground
Car - Reasonable parking on match days within walking distance of ground

Stats:
71 Tests:
England: 22 wins; 14 defeats; 34 draws
