WestIndies collapsing. There is a twist in the tale.
There is a twist in the tale as WestIndies are collapsing under pressure . The pressure was never on WestIndies but due to some good fielding and wonderful bowling in the depth . Flintoff created huge pressure for Sarwan and Bravo as they were not allowed to score and the singles were cut out as the field was closing in . WestIndies were certainly feeling the pressure now as they were finding it hard to score runs. England were bowling beautifully with a controlled line and length from Flintoff and some aggressive bowling by Monty Panesar from the other end. Panesar finally got the reward when Sarwan who was under huge pressure to score runs went down the track and tried to hit Monty over the infield but Monty spun the ball a bit more and Sarwan missed it completely and Read did a fantastic job behind the stumps to stump Sarwan. That was a huge wicket for England and now the inexperience with the bat is starting for West Indies as Morton walks in . But that was not yet over Monty struck once again as D.Bravo was trapped in front of the stumps . England are right back in the match as Monty got two crucial wickets as both the set batsmen are out. Last match Monty did the same against the Aussies and he has repeated that once again. England still have a chance as West Indies are crumbling under pressure.
