West Indies in England

[madmusician]

Yeah, this year they've played some real useless players like Sanath Jayasuriya and Chris Cairns. Who are those jokers?

Obviously they didn't play at our school :

I was pointing out that just because they were the MCC, they weren't great - not the whole team all the time, but just on that occasion...

OK now?

Surprise, Surprise, Old Trafford is in cloud atm.

Come on you silly northern weather get it right for once

Gotta love the north. It's been scorching all week and as soon as an England cricket game along it turns cold enough to cut glass on my nips.

good boy taylor good start windies

Strauss needs runs. The Vaughan decision was stupid, should have bowled first.

Evidently stupidity is still giving the West Indies a caning.

How does Sammy go? its not on fox sports again...

Medium Pace trundler.

 

[King Pietersen]

West Indies are so boring to watch, i like watching Spin bowling, its the ultimate battle in cricket i feel and there is a distinct lack of it when West Indies are playing. This medium pace trundling is just boring, it just reminds me of England's world cup campaign, when it was just constant medium pace. Bring on some real competition when India come to town. As Mikey Holding said, they are already in Damage Control mode which is just stupid, they obviously dont believe in themselves. Very poor side.

Cook's playing well though.

 

[Griffo]

so is there any signs of him being a quality bowler? he averages 21 in first class cricket

I've heard that bowlers dominate WI First class cricket, and very low averages are common. Not sure how reliable that is, but there you go.

 

[King Pietersen]

FFS, what is happening boys ?

 

[RoboRocks]

Good stuff by the West Indies putting pressure on.
Cook's and Vaughan's dismissals were about pressure.
The trap was set for Pietersen and he fell straight in.
Good bouncer and poor shot.
England need a partnership, West Indies need to apply more pressure and get the bowlers in.

It ain't happening. Windes have had teams in a position like this so many times but they blow it. We'll make 450 and bowl them out for around 200.
