West Indies in England

Well went to headingly today spent about £75. The rain and heat was poor, was very cold and the rain was on and off. We got to see the first 17minutes off the match with resulted in the Gayle wicket and then it hail stoned. Then back on 2 wickets rain. Ect Ect. If your wondering what i bought i got Yorkshire CCC shirt £35 England Vest top £22 Bat's cant remember price and steve harmisson skills ball and a gray nichols stress ball. And a Free Ecb/Urban cricket bag.
 
Collingwoods got the grit we would need.

tbh, if you're talking about the India tour, i don't rate India's bowling attack at all so i don't think we will need grit but i would select him as he has the right competitive attitude
 
Collingwood must play in the tests against Sri Lanka away if anything, that's his perfect surrouding.
 
India's feilding is absoloutly diabolical aswel they dropped about 7 yesterday truely shocking!

We should play Flintoff instead of Bell at Manchester he is injured. Keep the bowling attack and flintoff's there for variation even though we dont need it. Joe sayers was good today at silly point all the match, and then Hodgeson came on for 1 minute while pietersen had a pee and changed his warmers in his pocket. Nice to see a yokrshire man feilding and yorkshireman making a century:)
 
One of the easiest and one-sided games you'll ever see! West Indies were poor, and although Bravo top scored, his dismissal summed up the West Indies. Harmison took some wickets to get rid of the tail and we saw Sidebottom's brilliant accuracy and swing again.

Very convincing performance by England :)
 
It's a bit of a hard pill to swallow for him, but Sidebottom shouldn't be played at Old Trafford if Hoggard is fit. Bring Anderson or Onions in for him who have mroe bounce and pace.

Also, Flintoff in, Collingwood out I say.

We need bowlers who can bowl good lines, Sidebottom actually got good bounce in this test and his accuracy was excellent, he shouldn't be left out.

Hoggard back in for Plunkett in the next test. Only change, if Fred is fit then bring him in for Bell/Strauss. Though Fred shouldn't play with just one CC game in several weeks.

wots wrong with test up north?

South had it their own way for far to long

and Durham is NOTHING like headingly..

Durham have some of the best facilities on the country and fully deserve teir test match

The south had/has two test grounds. Lords and The Oval.

........steve harmisson skills ball........

No, I mustn't :D

Yeah, Southern England only has Lord's and The Oval as test match grounds. Soon, The Rose Bowl and Manor Park will be though!
 
Mark Nicholas didn't seem to realise that KP was Man of the Match on Cricket on Five today ;)

Been a good test for them though - particularly good yesterday, and will be interesting to see if they do anything tomorrow...
 
what do you mean by it would be interesting if they do anything tomurow ? the games over lol
 
I think we should leave Flintoff out for the rest of the Test series so he can get fully fit in County Cricket and then introduce him in the One Dayers.
 
Official fact, the last wicket the 9th was the most fluke. Harmisson bowled a bouncer came of his arm and hit his stump's funny as out. Sidebottom's new name for the emmerdale fans ShadRack. Now every body join the panesar fan club
 
he played well but dont get to far ahead of yourself
