***Official*** West Indies in England

Yeah, I don't know why Gayle doesn't just bowl himself. He's obviously not going to get much help from the pitch but it's not like Simmons is going to take a wicket unless a batsman gifts it to him and Gayle's going to be much more effective at keeping the runs down.

The only thing I think of is that Gayle was pushing for Bernard's selection and has decided to dig his toes in and prove he needs a fourth seamer.

You'd have thought he'd bowl his best 2 quicks with Broad new to the crease. Or at least Benn rather than Simmons.

If the West Indies could catch, Edwards would be averaging under 30 by now surely.

 

[TT Boy]

Broad dropped. Poor old Fidel.

 

[King Pietersen]

And again, Windies catching has been woeful!

 

[pskov]

If the West Indies could catch, Edwards would be averaging under 30 by now surely.

And again.

 

[TT Boy]

**** me. So poor.

 

[grecian]

Yeah apart from Fidel's bowling, it's not been a great start to the international summer today, let's hope it's just rustiness.

"Jetlag doesn't help with your slip catching does it Mr Gayle?," says Jamie

 

[TT Boy]

Bit of irony, as the Windies best fielder just takes a blinder in the IPL.

 

[Jono]

Cmon Ravi! Also put money on you to ton up when you were on 9 runs (albet only $5 ).

Go son! Only 1 more run.

 

[four_or_six]

Go the chavs.

 

[aussie]

Hahaha @ KP jumping up. That word chav should be banned, stupid word...

 

[popepouri]

Wow. 5 dropped now.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Windies have money on Board to score runs, clearly. Another 5 or 6 shells and he'll ton up.

Must be soul destroying for the bowlers tho, especially on something as slow and low as this.

 

[superkingdave]

lol at that Benn drop. Broad has had 4 lives now

 

[tooextracool]

The quality of cricket today has been shockingly poor from everyone bar Edwards. Theres nothing worse than watching 2 poor teams trying to underperform the other.

 

[BoyBrumby]

28th time lucky for the fielding side. Broad's FCA has taken a hammering with that knock.

 

[Furball]

Good God, Broad's actually been caught.

 

[Isolator]

Broad hit the ball twice that time (the caught and bowled chance) - isn't that out? ie. they could appeal for it, right?

 

[BoyBrumby]

A "well-constructed 38"?!?! Eff off Beefy, please. Spawny as all hell more like.
