*Official* England in West Indies

[Nate]

Maybe the WI should play two spinners.

Came to this conclusion aswell.

Here's a possible team, if Bravo returns to the side....

1) Gayle
2) Devon Smith
3) Sarwan
4) Ryan Hinds
5) Chanderpaul
6) Nash
7) Bravo (when fit)
8) Ramdin
9) Taylor
10) Benn
11) Edwards or Powell

Thought that was plumb live.

EDIT: Shah a bit lucky.

 

[Nate]

C'mon Tayrol.

 

[Durham_CCC]

150 for Strauss, brilliant.

I'm still wondering why Nash is still bowling though.

 

[Nate]

150 for Strauss, brilliant.

Would call it a lot of other things before 'brilliant'. Much needed though.

Draw match it looks like

 

[Durham_CCC]

Shah ran out.

D'oh.

Not yet....

England have put the runs on the tins.

We haven't done it yet.

Wouldn't be England if we didn't gift them back into the game. KP must be spitting blood about having to come in at this stage against the new ball.

The first time I'm using this expression in my life without irony:

LOL

 

[Richard]

That's a real waste.

KPP needs something big here, and if he gets we should get 500+ easily.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bellesque effort from Shah then.

Ind33d. Can only imagine the chap posting as Durham means "it's brilliant that Strauss has got 150", rather than "Strauss has got a brilliant 150".

 

[Goughy]

Hard to know what to make of that. Very good innings but thrown away at an important time, sacrificing a big score and exposing Englands premier batsman.

 

[Durham_CCC]

Ind33d. Can only imagine the chap posting as Durham means "it's brilliant that Strauss has got 150", rather than "Strauss has got a brilliant 150".

I meant brilliant for the team and for Strauss.

Would love to know if he played much club cricket in England.

His bowling is exactly the typical type that Australian batsmen bowl when they arrive to pro at a club in England and find out they need to bowl 25 overs a game.

Bowling developed in league cricket. Moderately heavy ball, accurate and capable of long spells at medium pace.

Yeah he's played for a few seasons in England.

Gayle doesn't seem to want to take the new ball....
