*Official* England in West Indies

[sammy2]

Awful batting by the windies...no surprise there really...and straight accurate bowling by an Englishman, now there is a shock!!

Good on you Swanny.

I was a bit apprehensive when he got picked ahead of Monty but he has done himself mighty proud! Now lets put a quick 200 on the board and then have plenty of time to watch them self destruct again!

For some reason I believe you will a surprise.

Gee, I wonder what that reason could be...

It seems pretty easy to forget just how good a position 312 runs ahead with two days remaining is.

Anyhoo, credit to England and particularly Paul Collingwood for exercising very well the underappreciated art of catching. Prior too for not dropping a few droppable ones behind the stumps. When it's good, you don't notice it, but they took every chance bar one.

Yeh thats a very good point! People are very quick to criticise but very slow to praise when people have performed well.

I for one want to give the players a big pat on the back for their performance in this match so far. Lets hope they nail the advantage home today!

Haha, Darren Lehmann on Fox Sports just now.

"Graeme Swann: can't bowl. I'm happy to say that on air. Nice bloke, but he can't bowl. Doesn't do anything for me at all."

Harsh TSTL.

You are just another comical english fan, if england should lose from here it would be their worst showing in history, even tho they have going well so far. Thats the key part, soo far. Lets face it, England isn't the number one team in the world, and fans like you don't expect more from your team than WI fans. People like you just fail to realize anything can happen in the game of cricket. I'm sure you weren't here posting when Eng got ran over for 51.
Eng can do without fans like you and most here who obviously aren't the most loyal fans.

Haha classic.

If he can't bowl what does that say about the West Indies Batting???

Your just a comical idiot. I am the complete opposite to what you have just described?? I know our team is far from number one in the world, we are far from number 2 and even 3! If we lost from here it would take an extreme performance from either side either us appaling or something magical from the WI.

I have played and supported cricket all my life and am more loyal than most and have seen some crazy things happen. On top of that i have a reasonable level of intelligence which you seem to be lacking.

And just to keep this conversation on your degraded level cricket can do without people like you.

I reckon anything over 430-440 will be enough for England to defend with the bowlers they have left, but they need to make that score but also give themselves time to bowl out the West Indies.

You do know that 430-440 has never been chased by the best batting-line-ups going around, don't you?

Not much about powell etc...Don't worry if he takes a beating in the second innings im sure you will be the first to call for his head.

 

[Richard]

Your just a comical idiot.

Apart from the fact it's you're not your, you're () bang on the money. Here's a tip - don't bother with old sammy2's posts, they're a waste of your time. Hopefully s\he won't last that long.

haha yes i apologise for that faux pas of a gramatical error! I didn't come to this forum for a slanging macth jsut to chat about the sport I love, but i suppose people come here for different reasons.

I'll take your point on board thanks Richard

Less of the aggressive/trolling posting please. No need for that sort of response to anyone, yet alone a new member to the forums.

Craigyc - there's a report post button alongside each post. Take the high ground, and just ignore it next time and report the post, and let a moderator/admin deal with it.

Helps to keep threads on track that way

harsh and uncalled for.

both were wrong, maybe even Craigyc43 more so then Sammy2

 

[Richard]

Tarique, I don't believe you are familiar with sammy2. I'd suggest this - read a few more posts. Such silly and deliberately obnoxious comments are very common.

 

[Kweek]

Ritchart, I am aware of Sammy2 reputation on the boards, still both sides were wrong.


but that's just CW and it's mods in general both sides are wrong


ontopic: Still think England made a dumb decision and go back in and bat, I have an earie feeling windies are going to roll the England batting line up before lunch and have 1.5 days to win the game.

Thanks moderators advice taken on board for the future. My apologies for bringing the forum into disrepute!

I would like an explanation for this comment though...
