*Official* England in West Indies

[GIMH]

Hope Fred gets some time to bat, could be a good opportunity to break his looooooong run without a ton

D'oh!

 

[Prince EWS]

Gayle will certainly be having mixed feelings about those last two wickets, particularly the Flintoff one. Sure, they've just picked up two wickets, but the way the ball is keeping low like that I wouldn't like to be 405 behind...

 

[andruid]

Its a road with jerk seasoning.

Nah just salt

 

[Neil Pickup]

The football pitch strikes twice...

 

[roseboy64]

Could be that the WI having so many lefties is a good thing. The line that's keeping low is outside their leg stump.

 

[Xuhaib]

Freddie is quickly turning in to a tail ender, Afridi gives me more hope with the bat then him these days.

The line that's keeping low is horizontal and right across the middle of the pitch...

He is saving it all for 'The Ashes' .

Ignore that statement. In any case, WI will just have to try and bat as long as possible and pass the follow on score.

 

[Durham_CCC]

Harmison and Flintoff will win the game for England if they hit that center circle. IMO

Only man who didn't fall in a heap in Sabina. Not many people are going to lay bat on a grubber second up.

 

[Prince EWS]

Thread's been pretty quiet today. I suppose you can expect that on the second day at the ARG but I thought the halfway line might have got people a little more talkative.

The ball that bowled him would've got plenty of good batsman on their second delivery at the crease.

Yeah it's easy to say he should have got forward but when a bowler bangs it in halfway down the pitch, you just don't; especially if it's the second ball you've faced. I love the "Flintoff isn't a Test #6" bandwagon as much as the next guy but the pitch did him there; nothing else.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

This Test has just become interesting inside the last hour or so. The halfway line has the potential to cause havoc and Benn now has just started to turn the ball.

 

[superkingdave]

Yeah, Massively unlucky for Fred...just seen it now but when i left work and got in my car the first ball i heard on the radio was KP getting out then Fred 2 balls later doh

Ironically, turned the TV on and Flintoff was walking in... switched the kettle on, and he was walking out again.

 

[superkingdave]

Awful thing is know what will happen now, England will decide its a minefield and proceed to take 50 overs to eke out another hundred runs. Chris Gayle will come in and smash a quickfire ton and show us the pitch is still perfectly flat (bar the half way line)

 

[superkingdave]

Lol, Collingwood hits a boundary, One Republic comes on the PA system...Grant Elliot flown over to be DJ?

 

[Neil Pickup]

If you're still not sure then it's not out. Get on with it.
