*Official* England in West Indies

[StuartBroadFan]

two wickets in a row! Collingwood must be happy now!! thats going to hurt the Windies now.

 

[Bonnie Prince C]

England have done well from where they were at WI could of easily been 280-300. England have something more chaseable.

 

[Scaly piscine]

My god Cricinfo have Mascarenhas down as RFM...

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Yeah, England have done well to pull this back a bit. Taking wickets and keeping Chanderpaul (somewhat) quiet. Still have to bat well to get this i reckon.

 

[StuartBroadFan]

Yes they will have to bat well, hopefully the rain will stop soon.

That's sort of the point of the game. If you could win without having to bat or bowl well, England might occasionally win games.

I've seen plenty teams win by bowling or batting ****.

Yeah but if it were any other team batting i'd probably see them as a 70% chance to win from here, with England its more like 60-40 in Windies favour (though they continue to handicap themselves by not picking Dave. It was a decent bowling effort but i wouldn't be surprised if, when we lose, there is talk of letting the West Indies get too many, when that really isn't the case

Dave has taken a break from cricket.

Nah i'd have England favourites from here. The targets that give them trouble are the ones where it's necessary to take advantage of the opening powerplays. There's enough there to make this particular total IMO.

What's he doing? Reckon its a result of his diabolical treatment by the selectors. Would imagine he's a musical person, maybe he's recorrding an album?

Reckon it's a ska album.

 

[TT Boy]

A skat album would be cool.

 

[steds]

If he goes hip-hop I'm disowning him.

 

[Uppercut]

Maybe he'll go back to playing Will Smith's brother in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

 

[roseboy64]

He's overseeing the building of his house. Managed to suit up for the OD game against England before the T20 though.

 

[superkingdave]

Dave played for PowerGEN sports in the Carib 20/20 Sheild final at QPO last night itbt

 

[roseboy64]

Meant T&T cricket.

 

[superkingdave]

Hmm possibly time for a snooze...Strauss/Shah followed by Bell and Collingwood

 

[steds]

Not unimpressed by Baker.
