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

[Richard]

Had it turned and not bounced it'd still have been out. Had it bounced and not turned it'd probably have gone up into the gloves and down to the turf.

 

[roseboy64]

Innings over.

 

[Richard]

Only 1 wicket left to potentially be gifted to Harmison\Plunkett now.

Well considering it hit his gloves, don't you think the gloves are a bit wider then the bat.

Sidebottom gets Chands, it is indeed "pack of cards"

 

[roseboy64]

That was horrible. Been a procession since Bravo got out.

 

[Richard]

Completely depends what position they're in. In any case, it hit the edge of the gloves, had it hit the middle of them then it'd have gone down.

 

[TT Boy]

Cracking collapse from the West Indies, can always count upon them to deliver. England to have this game wrapped up by Sunday afternoon.

 

[Richard]

That should have been goooooonnnnnnnneeeeeee.

 

[steds]

That was plumb.

 

[grecian]

That was plumb.

Agreed.

 

[grecian]

Only cost 4 runs, though.

 

[Richard]

That is gooooonnnnnneeeee. 3 superb, classical away-turner's dismissals from MSP to finish the innings.

 

[Tom Halsey]

West Indies lost their last 6 wickets for 13, shocking stuff, some decent bowling though when Siders and Monty were bowling in tandem.

 

[PY]

We could lose this, you know. The rate WI are going, they won't be far short of us, if at all, and you easily see us collapsing on this wicket to leave them not too many to chase.

Oh how an hour can change things. Sorry, I was just catching up on the last few posts!

 

[Richard]

216-4 becomes 229ao (and it should have been 225ao).

Had that lb been given when it should've, it'd have been the last 5 wickets for 1.

 

[steds]

Sidebottom and Panesar to open in the second innings and bowl right through.

 

[UncleTheOne]

oh how things change when you have two bowlers on actually aiming at the stumps. tbf before the horrific collapse, monty and sidebottom weren't that much better than harmison and plunkett.

 

[Richard]

This is proper tail-end batting, slogging luckiness.

Nah, proper tail-end batting is what we've just seen a few minutes ago.

 

[sohummisra]

Whee.... West Indies for the collapse. I knew things were not normal when there was actually a dim possibility of them securing a lead.

Before the collapse Sidebottom wasn't better than anyone. Plunkett was decent apart from his last two or three overs. Harmison hugely erratic but at least he was a threat. Sidebottom's first 8 overs were toothless cannon fodder.
