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

I know it's been remarked upon before, but CW really is quite a bit quicker than cricinfo for updates for those wage slaves amongst us. That said posts that consist of (effectively) "ooooooooooooo" are well annoying 'cos I'm stuck thinking "what? what?" 'til cricinfo catches up.

Think about it. If people took out the time to write-up a report of the dismissal, they'd not have the speed that they do with the "gone!" or the "oh dear" or the "would you believe it?" and so CricInfo wouldn't be so behind the times.

Monty to open the bowling at the other end IMO.

Son Of Arnie bowling quick here.

Bell FTW.

It's very, very poor that Laws like that are there, but are not adhered to.

 

[Richard]

In Jest?.

Nah, nah, he's hitting 85-86mph.

Looking forward to watching Harmison bowl on this pitch.

Yep, those sets of five-wides are priceless aren't they?

Bell can get a bit of swing TBH.

Exactly my thoughts, laws are there for a reason, whether they make sense or not.

That post specifically for Brumbers.

Vintage Harmison there.

 

[Richard]

The West Indies gave away way too many extras there; 47 is unforgiveable.

Absolutely abysmal - wides were poor, wide deliveries that gave away byes with no chance for the wicketkeeper were poor, no-balls as ever were poor...

Dreadful.

 

[Richard]

Well England are already lookng well on course to match those extras.

EDIT:

Give him long enough, and he just might just hit the cut strip

"Ganga surprised by a straight one"

Well done Harmi, that over was so funny

The straight one, the killer.

Ganga out LBW

 

[Richard]

Crazy, ain't it? 6 wides, 4 byes, one nips back and gone.

What law is this?

Law 17 states something like this "There shall be no batting or bowling practice on the square that is to be used for play, except before play or after the close of play. If the aforementioned takes place, then the bowler can not bowl for 1 hour after the incident, or until 30 minutes playing time has taken place"

What law is this?

Law 17 pertaining to (no) practice on the square.
