[TT Boy]

4 more byes. England going for the world record.

What is the world record anyway?

I don't know but Bish just said England are very much in the hunt.

I'll check out Cricinfo...

 

[Evermind]

What a great and easy welcome for Nash into test cricket. Two roads in New Zealand and road warfare in his first home test series. Must think this game is a walk in the park. Played well though.

Needs to tour England and SA asap.

 

[TT Boy]

76 Pak India. England only need to give 5 more extras away to take the lead, so one over from Khan should do it.

KP into the attack, Strauss raises the white flag. He should bring back Khan and bowl him into the dust.

 

[Scaly piscine]

A few overs of Amjad should do it then.

A few spells of Amjad and Extras could notch a century.

 

[Langeveldt]

Nashy!..

Can't wait until England tour SA

 

[Richard]

The selections and captaincy are so annoying. Should have picked Rashid, WI may well have been 500-4 by now instead but there's a realistic chance he could also have forced a win.

If so it'd just be "they should've picked Amjad Khan". Grass is always greener.

 

[Prince EWS]

Awesome spell this from Anderson. Can't believe he hasn't taken a wicket.

 

[sammy2]

found the edge ? Didn't chanderpaul play it in the gap ?

how dare anderson try speaking to cahnderpaul

Conniseurs would have had Nash in their Brian Lara International Cricket 2005 sides a long time ago..

LOL@mikey calling khan medium pace.

Called a delivery by Napier at 90mph in the FP Trophy 'medium pace' too; I wonder what he thought that he bowled.

Bowling above 90 once every now and then is nothing special, even J kallis bowls quick when he wants.

But doing it consistently is a totally different class - Fast

Why is it cricinfo have a hard time saying WI is doing better than Eng ?

Lunch on the fourth day. England went wicketless, despite a fine spell of aggressive reverse-swing bowling from James Anderson. Nash brought up his maiden Ton; Chanderpaul nudged and nurdled with crabby intent. West Indies are fighting with all their heart. Lunchtime - join us in 40 minutes.

Prior not far from the byes record as well.

 

[roseboy64]

Well played by Nash for his first century.

 

[Goughy]

If so it'd just be "they should've picked Amjad Khan". Grass is always greener.

I dont think Rashid should have been picked. Erratic selection is not the key to success. But whoever else was picked, there would be noone waving the "Should have picked Amjad" flag.

Just would not have happened.

 

[pskov]

Nash may have had it relatively easy in his test career so far but he does look a pretty decent player. Not too sure myself how someone with such a solid looking technique and good composure averages only 31 in FC cricket.

Daren Ganga? Averages even less.. Very composed and correct, never scores many runs
