**Official** West Indies in England 2012

Gabriel reminds me of Kasprowicz.

Also, the English speed-balls seem to be calibrated differently to elsewhere, significantly lower readings.

Flashy aerial drive through point.

Broad's away, then.

 

[Burgey]

Bell must have got belted at school. You can just tell.

 

[Howe_zat]

Take a drink every time someone describes a Broad shot as "uppish".

 

[MW1304]

Bell must have got belted at school. You can just tell.

And 15 years later he's laughing down at those who belted him from a Test average of 46. Go Bell.

Well he'd be laughing up at them wouldn't he?

Junior ABA champion actually.

 

[MW1304]

Not when he's standing on his pile of money.

 

[Jacknife]

Good session for WI, crap for us but Bell's still there and looks set, just need the likes of Broad and Swann to get some and get us up to 400.

The over rate is pretty disgusting tbh.

Must have been a crack field...

Yeah, said the over rate only about 11 an hour. Awful.

 

[Spark]

Think the comms said that at this rate it'd take close to 8 hours to bowl the day's quota.

That's... yeah.

Weirdly, people used to say they were high in past years.

 

[GIMH]

So I guess someone said to Sammy that they wanted to see a return to the vintage 80s windies ways and all he could think of was over rate

 

[Burgey]

Fiddy!!!!

And inducing a batting collapse, apparantly.

 

[Jacknife]

Late on that, come on Swann just stick with Bell.

Plenty in this pitch though to get the England bowlers excited.

 

[Burgey]

How did Bairstow look? Footy was on here, so I missed him.

Roach and Edwards 135-140kph? No way. Explains why I imagine James Anderson as a 145kph bowler (NZ speeds- as discussed in a debate some months ago) and Englishmen tell me he's 135kph.

 

[Jacknife]

Shot Belly.
