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

There's been some shoddy fielding in England in the last three seasons (some of it from us)

There's been shoddy fielding in England since 2001, more of it from us than anyone else.

The Gayle on-the-boot miss from Pietersen I saw, and obviously that one a minute ago, but the other 2 are news to me.

Where's this fourth one come from?

Morton just dropped Pietersen at midwicket.

Atleast the wicket keeping has been tidy, even though there have been quite a few byes in this game (mainly due to wayward bowling) I feel that the overall standard of keeping has been tidy from both sides, especially considering the poor effort in the 2005 Ashes and Akmal's nightmare last year.

Morton just dropped Pietersen at midwicket.

I mentioned that in my original post. Morton's drop, Gayle's drop and Collymore's drop are all the ones that have gone down.

I thought that was the one a minute ago?

Ivanovic is quite fit, yes it's come to this, I'm watching womans fecking tennis

After all the years of failure by england, I never thought watching us winning could be so dire.

Durrrrrr.

On Cook-watch, he now needs 8 to average 50 again, I think.

If he was the new Boycs, he'd be jealously guarding that not out.

Cook can be incredibly boring to watch when the bowlers get a decent line outside off going to him, it's like he has no idea how to time a ball through the off side. Reminds me a little of Graeme Smith in that regard.

Well he's already failed to guard it once, and didn't I hear something about a bad decision on his favour?

He was caught behind the wicket yesterday evening but wasn't given, mainly due to the lack of an appeal from the bowler.

Nah, I know about that one (and as I say, unless new evidence has been unearthed today it wasn't a nick) but I thought I'd heard about something today?

Pretty sure it was a nick yesterday, from the few replays I seen. There was a potential outside edge that had a huge appeal from the cordon and bowler, but the umpire never looked interested, fair enough to because it missed the bat by quite a distance.

 

[Perm]

Wow, Pietersen incredibly unlucky there.

 

[Richard]

WOW!!!!!! Never seen that before!

 

[grecian]

I haven't seen another let-off today, but I've not exactly been rapt, missed Vaughns going, tbh.

KP out, fierce piece of bowling from Bravo.

 

[GIMH]

oh dear, sounds strange

Nothing on Snicko, so no nick for mine.

It happened to a Kiwi batsman in an ODI once I think, I'm not too sure but I get the feeling it was either Craig McMillan or Adam Parore.

Why didn't Pietersen have his chin strap done up?
