West Indies in England

[mattfb]

I didn't see the end of last yesterdays play as in aus it was late so i went to bed but did monty get his 5th?

 

[evertonfan]

Nope.

 

[mattfb]

Hmm shame he deserved to get his name on the wall.

 

[Eddie]

he still can.. there are 3 more wkts to go..

 

[mattfb]

Oh well i think he will have a good chance of getting it, the tailenders might have some trouble against him.

Powell seems a rather inept batsman and should've been out last ball of the day yesterday, so there is hope for Monty . Collingwood should bowl with him, Harmison and Plunkett are having shockers.

We should try and knock them over quickly with a lead of 175, slog 250 and give them 7½ hours to survive.

 

[mattfb]

I dont think many of the West Indies batsmen have the ablitie to hang around a long time, Ganga no doubt can, Radmin might be able to a bit and Sarwan and Chanderpaul are class players and will be able too.

Nonsense, be traditional. Take forever to get rid of them, then bat for time until tomorrow morning.

5 wickets for Monty! All LBWs!

 

[mattfb]

No 1 was bowled, but good to see umpires give the LBW'S
Go Monty, your name on the board

Monty, comes on and gets a wicket. Amazing stuff and his celebrations get better pmsl. Chanderpaul could have got 100, and Powell could have been caught from a top egde(atempetd hook) but went past the keeper and slips for 4.

Well thats clever, seeing as Collymore hasnt been into bat yet!

 

[mattfb]

Monty lucky there that it wasn't more than his fingernail that got cut, that was his spinning finger i believe and would have been uncomfortable bowling with a injured finger.

 

[angryangy]

That is still going to hurt in the fingertip.

Sorry to be pedantic, but his first wicket was actually a clean bowled and not an lbw.
