Apparently Wallace bowled well so that's good to know. Jaggernauth outfoxing Pietersen as well.

Hmm, England were all out for about 414. From what i hear Shah got a stinker of an LBW decision.

Apparently Sammy got a rough one in the 1st innings, so it's all even now. :cool:

Haha, i reckon it's all part of my aforementioned West Indian plot, which involved the dropping of Bellend on 49 and bribing the umpire to give Shah a dodgy one, to ensure that Bellend plays the first test.

Indeed.

Anyway, realllly looking forward to this series. Matches in the West Indies are on at fantastic times for us in the UK (hours of play 2.30pm to 10pm) so there'll be a lot of beer-cricket combos coming up. Hoping for a good series.

Yeah, love caribbean tours. You can get a very decent amount of play in even without having days off work. Or skiving off lectures for the tax-dodging fraternity...

Anyway, this is how I think we'll line up (rather than who I'd pick):

Strauss*
Cook
Bell (groan)
Pietersen
Collingwood
Flintoff
Prior+
Broad
Sidebottom
Harmison
Panesar

Harsh on Jimmy & Owais, but selectors are an inherently conservative bunch.

West Indian tours are a bit of a killer for me. I will struggle to make it through to the second session.

Got carted though. Had lots of spin but needs some more control.

A friend of mine was at Warner Park, and he feels that Wallace needs a little more patience, which will probably come with experience....

After a couple of seasons with Jamaica, that will probably come. Either way, he's a better spinner than Benn!
:wacko:

I'll be surprised if England don't pick the side that played in the last warm up, but with Flintoff replacing Bell.

They tend to play as near as possible to their Test XI in the final warm up match.

Can't believe that they'll leave out Bell

His rat-like face seems to fit whatever higher plan the selectors are working towards
