Surely should stay on for two balls, innings maybe over by then.:@

Broad or Anderson to get averaging under 30 first?

Probably Broad - his lowers numbers of runs & wickets mean his average will fall faster than Jimmy's.

I don't think WI will be too disappointed with this. They're under par, but they always are. It's not a ridiculously low score though, and, if they get a few early breakthroughs tomorrow, then they're in the match.

Windies will probably take it. They've got enough to give England the chance to balls it up with the bat, which is all they could really hope for after being put in.

Yeah sorry mate, normally I would have gone into them but its early morning here. However my insomnia has continued so I'll elaborate lol.

Holding said the great man was indeed a great WI batsmen, but lives in a bubble and concentrate solely on himself when at the crease. Additionally said he won very few matches for WI, and said that the excuse that he's played in a poor WI team all the time is a poor one because he's been playing for 17-18 years and in fact has played in some good teams. Also said that he is best suited to 5 because of his bubble batting, as he would be uncomfortable at 3 and it would not be good for WI cricket to put him there. Said WI cricket must get the best out of its individuals and even though Shiv is WI's best bat, he's not a #3. He was also very critical of his running, particularly with the Bravo run out. Basically he just said Shiv bats for himself and himself only, but that is good for WI cricket because that's the best he can do. Apparently he's been involved in 22 run outs and has only been dismissed himself in those run outs 3 times or something similar.

It's very, very irrational really.

He's a player who I thought was overrated but now believe is one of the best pacers in the world but I had already developed a massive mental distaste towards him by the time I came around to him so while I can appreciate that he's a gun bowler, I can't stop disliking him. :p

England to win it rather comfortably, for mine. Hope Chanders tons up though, seems like an awesome innings.

Decent day for England but only as expected. Chanderpaul is a class act and is the only West Indian standing between England and a 3-0 win. Weather more realistically might stop us though.

WI are only about 100 runs below par on that track, not bad by their standards I suppose. Should be looking at finishing it quick in the morning then batting for 2 days to set up the win.

Be a good race, both should get there by the end of this series anyway. Probably spurs them both on as well which is a good thing.

Broad did bowl well today, he has for most of the last year apart from when he was injured/returning from injury.

That ******** runout really hurt the innings, Bravo is the one guy capable of forming a big partnership with Chanderpaul. Not the worst effort though I guess, Broad was excellent later in the day, high quality bowling from him and Anderson.
