***Official*** West Indies in England

[stumpski]

Haha, why are they still playing in this?

Just a bit of light drizzle by the look of it. Better crowd in today, good to see them staying out there.

 

[wpdavid]

KP started like a train.

Yes - if he stays there for a couple of sessions this game could actually get interesting. In an ideal world, England would be able to declare at >550 shortly after tea today.

 

[superkingdave]

Looks ok now.

yeah it looks to hae cleared up a tad...hope it stays away

 

[four_or_six]

For goodness sake... 15 overs in nearly an hour and a half. Get a move on.

 

[Pratters]

Good to see Bopara get a 100.

 

[wpdavid]

Cook gone

 

[King Pietersen]

Disappointing end to a very good innings. Good stuff from Cook, hitting some real form at just the right time. 160 very good runs. Well played.

 

[Line and Lenght]

Why did the english commies complain about negavtive cricket when these dead pitches were in the carib ? So bias.

 

[King Pietersen]

Because there was actually nothing in those pitches. The ball is turning for Gayle and Benn, so there's something there for the spinners, and I'm sure if the seamers had bowled better there would be something for them as well. This is certainly not a completely dead pitch like the ones in the West Indies, Edwards proved that when you bend your back there's definitely something there.

 

[Prince EWS]

Oh, hi there Sammy.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

So bias.

Just like you sammy.

EDIT:

Oh, hi there Sammy.

Oi, stealing my thunder, you.

Just like you sammy.

Oi, stealing my thunder, you.

I took my time getting an IP match first, so I spotted it well and truly before you.

 

[King Pietersen]

Oh brilliant. We're going to get to see that Ian Ward-Andrew Flintoff interview for the 3rd time in the space of a day and a half. Hooray.

 

[grecian]

KP gone, good.

I seem to remember posters telling us England were a one-man batting team, but we seem to be doing alright in the last few tests without a major contribution, from him.

 

[King Pietersen]

Awful shot from KP. As grecian well stated though, it's good to see us still scoring runs without a big innings from Pietersen. Pietersen will need to score runs if we're going to win the Ashes though I feel.

Well lets hope he's saving them up for then

 

[Pratters]

Congrats on 4000 posts grecian!

 

[grecian]

Thanks Pratters

Grecian 4000 eh? I guess that one's been done to death ...

488-5, big stand developing here between Colly and Prior. Just a question of whether Strauss wants to bat on after tea.

Indeed, I used to call myself "grecian 2003, 2004 et cetera, on various fora, but around the Athens olympics, I kept on being asked if I was a big Olympian, and obviously the names started to get out of date

50 for Prior, you've got to say the man's a run machine, and gets them at a good lick. I actually prefer watching him bat to KP.
