***Official** West Indies in England***

If truth be told.

And thanks. Yours was perfectly good, I should probably add, just mine had to be a bit more lengthy.

How old are you again?

Infinitely better answer then mine tbh

I think you should read my post again .

In all seriousness, just read yours, tis very good, nice use of vocabulary.

Nah, disappointing IMO - was expecting something much more scathing from Mr. Augustus.

 

[simmy]

I second what Manee said.

The England batting order at the moment (with Tres in place of Strauss for mine) is a very very exciting proposition. Everyone is scoring runs and go about it in their own way.

Bell was fantastic yet again today.

 

[Goughy]

Balanced well. I thought at the start of the day that if was bowling that 250 would be the target and that Id hope to be batting by the end of the day.

If England make 350 they are miles ahead of what I would think was a par 1st innings score on that track.

I was quite surprised to see how much the West Indies came back into this game actually, but it's excellent to see a bit more of a contest. Let's hope Ian Bell can grind out another 23 runs.

Patetic, go around slagging off everyone you do to their face, lets see if you'd be so forthcoming.

It was cowardly, he was backing away in fear at the previous ball. He then was so worried about his own lil girl-self, he let a straight ball clean him up.

Not a Test-class number eight. I'd rather saj play for batting and bowling.

To repeat GUTLESS.

I would be forthcoming, when you've nearly died twice and had all the ailments I've had you are not short of guts. Fortunately I also happen to have a clue what I'm talking about when I open my mouth - not something one could accuse you of. I already stated it's often a subconscious mechanic when you shuffle away to leg. I was doing it myself in the nets - it was bizarre I'd see this tall guy bowl a straight half volley and by the time I hit it my legs were about two foot down leg. As for Plunkett he barely moved down leg at all - he just played completely down the wrong line because he was on the back foot to a ball that swung and because Edwards was too quick for him on that wicket.

Now if you want to keep on being moronic that's up to you, I couldn't give a toss because I'll just stick you on ignore with Teflon Richard over there.

That 50th over by edwards was the best over i have seen this year

collingwood was getting battered there

I've just seen a replay of that over, some very good bouncers in there. Accurate as well, which is unusual from Edwards.

Oh dear....

He is actually right Richard about Plunkett being gutless. Just wasn't good enough to play the delivery.

 

[Richard]

Oh dear....

I'm normally pretty good at working-out the direction of CW "oh dear"s but you've lost me there, Rose.

 

[roseboy64]

The fact that he's right about Edwards' accuracy.

 

[Richard]

I actually don't think he was gutless, indeed as you say simply not good enough - but I was simply referring to you-know-who's big iggy list getting another incredibly lucky member who won't have to worry about someone posting crap in response to their posts.

 

[Richard]

The fact that he's right about Edwards' accuracy.

Oh, right. OK.

 

[grecian]

Umm, it was me who said "gutless", really wish I hadn't tbh

Have to say that, even though I'm fully behind richard getting the blame

 

[simmy]

Really frustrated that Edwards wasnt picked in the last two tests. Admittedly, he didnt bring the house down, but at least there is someone with some fight, pace and makes something happen.

Good to see England have to work and test themselves. I honestly never thought Monty would get a bat this series... ah well.

He's pretty moderate, that Xavier Rose - if he was blaming me it was nothing too harsh.
