TBF, there was no way he warranted selection for the first test ahead of Anderson, but the fact that he has come good in this series so far will make the English selectors look a bit brighter than they probably are. Good on him though. Didn't think he was ready to take wickets at test level, but am happy to admit I was wrong.

I reckon we could just do with another 30 minutes to an hour... will be a thrilling conclusion and be good accompaniment to textbook writing fun.

Does anyone know what time they play until this evening? Will they really have 43 more overs?

OK so... according to Athers 2h45 until it's too dark, so 2h15 after tea... about 30-35 overs after tea then.

That's a good point actually, even if it doesn't rain light could well be a factor. Anyone know what the light is usually like in Antigua ?

I think the official close is 17:30 (9:30GMT), but can have the extra half hour. Athers reckons light fades at about 17:45 though. That gives another 2 and a half hours of playing time after tea, weather providing, so little chance of getting the full 43 overs in I wouldn't have thought.

Nothing like - surely that figure simply reflects the time lost at the start of the day.

He's been disappointing since 04-05 hasn't he?

DWTA. Although that probably has more to do with the fact that I always expect very little of him when he plays than anything else.

I reckon he's looking as good as he has all series in this spell TBH.

Hard to argue with it TBH. Like others, he has been disappointing pretty much every time I've seen him bowl in last 3 years.None of which is contrary to my point

We're going to have to go some after tea, I reckon.
