*Official* England in West Indies

[Nibbles]

Is that the same 4 that was originally a 6 and then got changed by the 3rd umpire to a 4?

Hmmm, thats going to work isnt it!

Having said that, it was mighty close, but clearly hit the ground jsut short of the rope, rather than the rope itself!

 

[Rebecca]

So, unchanged side for Sunday?

 

[Uppercut]

Bahahaha. Was pissing myself laughing in the bar where i watched this and noone knew why (as i'm the only person interested in cricket in england). That was properly funny.

Anyway, it's a joke that the batsmen even get offered the light in these situations. Why should the batting side get to pick and choose when to end the game depending on whether they'll win or not? The umpires should just decide whether the light's good enough to play on or not where Duckworth-Lewis is concerned.

Depends... who is crapper - Amjad Khan or Steve Harmison?

Yes they played well.

Maybe this is why in the last 70 years no english team was considered number one in the world.

because clearly chanderpaul finshed a washed up bowler career today.

This guy speaks the truth.

 

[sammy2]

Irrelevent of how they won. Well done England!

Desperate for a win ... congrats..

So losing would have been better? We were arguably ahead in the game (which is why the WI were so happy to accept the offer). We bowled pretty well to pull it back i thought. Pitch wasnt as flat as it looked at the toss either.

Edit: Also saying that Dyson's application for the England job isn't looking so good.

Knowing England it'll gurantee him the job

 

[luckyeddie]

So, unchanged side for Sunday?

I don't thing that England will drop Dyson now

 

[luckyeddie]

What's upset you?

Snowing again, is it?

 

[roseboy64]

Stick by that statement? :P

Starting again at 4:45. England looking for 270 I reckon, and if they get there then it's going to be a very tough chase for West Indies. You'd hope that Broad, Anderson, Harmison and Dimi will bowl better than the tripe West Indies have offered up, especially Powell, awful bowling from him.

His record speaks for itself. Totally objective statement.

 

[Rant0r]

little oops

i've never understood having to wander around with a spreadsheet in your pocket to decide the outcome of a cricket match

 

[Flem274*]

Lol well england got away, that team is so garbage. lol Not one good player, still english fans believe they should be beating WI.

Most english fans are living in dream world, along with beefy ( I hate him)
250 was suppose to be good enough, they got 270 and won by 1 run on dl method. Here is a team just not good enough.

Why do you still exist?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Why do you still exist?

Indeed.

A big LOL at this match.

 

[Smudge]

You feel sorry for Windies fans when their coach makes such a major ****up, but then you come into this thread, and watch sammy2 waving his tiny little pecker around trying to make himself feel better and all sympathy flies out the window.

You still owe me an avatar bet, by the way.

 

[steds]

It's a sad day when a game of cricket is decided by the person who can do maths better. Keep that **** in some sort of classroom thanks.

 

[Jono]

This is the worst tour ever.

 

[fredfertang]

Is there a reason the "D/L par score" isn't on the scoreboard as soon as it starts to gets dark/wet?

 

[biased indian]

why dont they print the D/L sheet with one extra run and reduce the confusion ..why would you leave it to a guy to add 1 when all other thig is done by computers you always play to win rite not to tie so show the target rather than par score
