West Indies in England 2009

[King Pietersen]

Would probably have made a hundred if it wasn't for some bad luck as well, so real good day for Bresnan. Hopefully he'll convert his good start in Test cricket to some wickets in the 2nd innings.

England have asked West Indies to follow on.

 

[Themer]

Good on England too many times we've paffed around not enforcing it when we get the opportunity.

 

[King Pietersen]

Hopefully this won't be a repeat of the South Africa Test last year. Bowling them out cheaply but then being denied in the 2nd innings by 3 centurions. Can see Nash and Chanderpaul frustrating us though unfortunately, Shiva certainly won't get a pair.

 

[ZexyZahid]

The news is that England have enforced the follow-on. England are 225 runs ahead so there is no reason to not follow on.

I expect some more West Indian wickets will be fallen today. This is only the second day of this match.

Have 'em 4 down tonight and we'll be reet. Surely, surely, surely, surely, surely this game can't end in a draw now.

Wouldn't it be something if Chanderpaul bagged a King Pair? How ironic would it be considering that he was basically unstoppable the last time he toured England?

 

[King Pietersen]

Rain tommorow and a Chanderpaul double hundred will force a draw

 

[Skater]

A bit of an OT question - who's touring next year? Should have been the WI but they've cancelled.

 

[aussie_ben91]

King Pietersen's trying to jink Chanderpaul into getting a pair. I'd laugh if it works.

 

[evertonfan]

I hope it's Pakistan who tour next year. Bring back Daryl Hair as well. That would be so epic.

 

[King Pietersen]

Pakistan's team is full of boring cricketers now though. There's no-one in their team that I'd be excited to watch. Shoaib's old and passed it, Asif's now a professional drug smuggler, Inzamam's retired and Afridi doesn't get a game in Test cricket. I'd rather see a team come with players I like to watch, Sri Lanka would be good. Get to see Sangakkara, Mendis, Malinga and Muralitharan. Or India, I'd like to see 1 of those 2 tour.

What happened to that 5 match test series which the BCCI and ECB were planning?

 

[Skater]

I don't want to play India if it's only 2 or 3 Tests. Has to be 4 or 5.

this could be over today...

I doubt that, it's 5.50 now. It might well be over tomorrow. Damn! Miss the weekend!
