*Official* England in West Indies

[Richard]

don't see how the England fielders can be so sure that once they throw the ball it will land on the rough side... don't think the umpires were complaing about the ball to be honest, person on the commentary stint said it was because the throw was designed to make Ambrose walk on the pitch.

Haha, that'd be doubly crafty.

If you throw the ball in trying to ruff it up BTW you don't need to worry what side it lands on - if it lands on the one you're trying to shine, you just keep shining it. If it lands on the other, good, the desired effect will be had.

I bowl off spin and I'm one of the worst players of spin you'll ever come across.

Yes, but HInds is supposed to be a batting allrounder who bowls spin....

he made Swann look like Murali!

Muttiah Swann actually has quite a nice ring to it.

Lol, big cheer for Middlesbrough beating Liverpool. Lots of ManU fans in the house.

Man Utd!

Man Utd!

I take it you aren't, then?

Graeme Muralitharan, not so much.

I certainly am (a fan, that is), hence my distaste for the use of the disrespectful "Man U" term.

 

[Evermind]

Is there anyone in the world who isn't a ****ing fan of Man U? It's so bloody annoying. 99% of you would piss on them if they didn't win all the time.

Liverpool are getting absolutely screwed in that game btw, had a kajillion chances and the 2 attacks Boro have had they've scored

It's disrespectful? I apologise, I didn't mean it as such.

 

[Uppercut]

Liverpool can't shoot for **** btw, had a kajillion chances and the 2 attacks Boro have had they've scored . It's exactly like the midweek game against Real Madrid only in reverse.

Fixed.

Most people don't realise it is. Not your fault.

Started supporting in 03/04 when Arsenal walked the title TBF.

Out of interest, why is it?

Edit: Don't worry, googled it.

 

[roseboy64]

Out of interest, why is it?

The media I guess. Only found out about it when I got in contact with some people from around Manchester who've been fans for longer than I've been alive.

 

[Jigga988]

Fixed.

Because we have no Torres and we have the Powell of cricket - Kuyt up front...

Anyhoo, Sarwan and Chanders looking solid (knock wood) and 200 is up...

Ryan Sidebottom just bowled a non-slower-ball at 67mph.

 

[four_or_six]

I'm wondering a bit about Sidebottom's fitness... he looks pretty stiff in the field.

 

[Uppercut]

Maybe he's past it. He's 31 and never had much pace to begin with.
