The Warm-Ups...

[superkingdave]

Has Luke Wright put more speed on?

He was a useless bowler when I first seen him, but seeing him for Sussex lately he has looked quite a usefull bowler.

Don't have a clue why he is bowling in a 13 a side game, there is only Shah Morgan and Foster who shouldn't be bowling before him. Even in an 11 aside game he should be 7/8th choice bowler.

On another point, seems England obviously don't rate Napier, doesn't look like he is going to get a chance and it doesn't look like it will be a surprise (though it will be dissapointing) to see Rashid in the side come friday.

Awesome, Love Ramdin.

Still no Swann

Wright's always been pretty sharp pace-wise - he's just crap rather than being too slow for international cricket.

Awesome, Love Ramdin.

Windies don't need him. Fletcher can keep.

 

[roseboy64]

Ramdin been making runs recently and Fletcher not exactly decent with the gloves.

 

[TT Boy]

Still no Gayle. Windies don't want 150+.

 

[grecian]

It's so nice, and a novelty, having a keeper who can keep, for us....

 

[Athlai]

Windies don't need him. Fletcher can keep.

Ramdin is improving greatly with the bat and one of the better keepers around.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

How the hell does he not give that out?

 

[superkingdave]

Umpiring doesn't seem to be any better for this game

 

[roseboy64]

Simmons doing his worst here.

 

[stumpski]

West Indies have 13 names on the card, but they can't all bat can they? I assume it's '11 bat, 11 field' like an early tour game. They could go berserk knowing they had 12 wickets available.

And are England just using 11?

13 each tbh

 

[King Pietersen]

This England death bowling tactic is so bizarre, but for some reason it's working =/ I thought someone would have worked out how to play it by now. They seem to be getting away with wides as well, very strange.

Gash umpiring once more though, how that edge wasn't given I don't know. Sure Foster and Broad could have appealed more, but any decent umpire would have got that right.

 

[Uppercut]

His keeping's gone down the john recently tbh.

 

[roseboy64]

England using 12. No idea about how many can bat though.

 

[King Pietersen]

Only 11 can bat still, just they rotate who's on the field.

Still confident of 160 roseboy?

 

[roseboy64]

Was before Simmons was out there wasting away time and balls.

yeah, he should of got out quickly in a stupid way like most of 'tothers.
