Windies in Onions Pickle at Lords

 

[PhoenixFire]

Worked out who Onions reminds me of. Ben Miller out of Armstrong & Miller:

Who in turn looks like Rob Bryden (sp?)

 

[Bonnie Prince C]

Onions with a great start to his test career. Must have been an amazing feeling for him when he got that 5th wicket.

England well on top as they always should be against the West Indies, especially at home.

Anderson just got Gayle out, 14 for1. Very quiet for Gayle this match.

Dear the moderation team,

A few days ago I requested the banning of a member of these forums, sammy2. I was not alone in this request. You agreed with the sentiments and banned him for 6 months, for which we were all grateful.

However, in light of today's events, please reinstate him. I need a good chuckle at what he would have to say about this.

Yours faithfully
GIMH

Jimmmmeeehhhhh

Anderson gets Sarwan as well, good to see he's come to the part this innings. Lets hope we can get Chanders before the close

 

[GIMH]

See this is why test matches shouldn't start on a Wednesday. At this rate I'll have nothing to watch this weekend

'Tis how I felt when the match was being played at Sabina. Didn't get to go on Sunday because the match was over for some reason.

Fair one mate

In 06 I went the Pakistan Test, I wanted day 3 tickets but Lancs rang me and asked me to choose between day 2 and 4, I went with 2, good plan, the match ended the next day

 

[roseboy64]

Rain is coming I feel.

 

[GIMH]

A great day for England draws to a close

The Windies must be crying after today's play.

Reminds of me Damian Lewis.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Gayle and Sarwan out tonight would be awesome.

Ha, bingo!

Went about as well as a day's play could've gone for us.

Nah. Angry more like. But me? I'm . Draw is in the bag.

I have not seen a ball of todays play, so this is a genuine question.

From what Ive seen of Onions he appears to be a bowler that will frustrate and take advantage of ill-disciplined batting. Was that the case or did he blitz them?

No he bowled genuinely well- 5/38 off 9.3 aren't the figures of a stifler. Bowled fast- around 90mph at times- accurate, moved the ball both ways and got excellent bounce and carry.

That makes him sound like Superman, so i'll qualify by saying he didn't get the big wickets- just Simmons, Ramdin and the tail.

Welcome to England, Mr Gayle. I hope you enjoyed your in-flight entertainment and your 2 dismissals in one afternoon. Proud of how you've led your team so far?

WI might be thinking he could have stayed back in SA with his IPL team. Dropped a sitter and added nothing to the batting.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

What's funny?

Fair call. Some egg on face.

Not quite sure how both Broad and Onions have both managed to crank it up to 90mph, though.
