**Official** West Indies in England 2012

[Spikey]

WI lead by 57 runs when do they start thinking of declaring?????

 

[Ferraz]

not perfect, because the bowler is at a different stage of his run-up in each case, but still interesting

Hmm... strangely enough, the first two pics don't look like Chanders (to me). The first one looks a bit like Athertun actually. And what's with Jack Russell too?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Real pity they left Shillingford out given England's woeful record chasing low targets on wearing pitches faced with slow bowling.

 

[NasserFan207]

Jack Russell looks hilarious in that picture

Nah, this is an awful pitch for spinners. Maybe if Narine was playing, since he's an unknown quantity, Shillingford is more orthodox though, wouldn't fancy him at all.

 

[Spark]

Rehman and Herath were perfectly orthodox.

Hardly orthodox. He's an offie with a doosra. A type of bowler England have had their woes against of late.

 

[NasserFan207]

Yeah, true enough. Maintain that bowling spin is pointless here though.

Nah it's him: Shivnarine Chanderpaul TEST DEBUT 62 vs England 2nd test 1994 - YouTube

pretty sure the SkySports guy just took some screencaps off roblinda2's videos....

AFAIK, still not risking doosra in tests

In any event, the folly of leaving him out was apparent the moment that they lost the toss

 

[Spark]

so those three wooden things, yeah

 

[Spark]

there we go. fine knock.

 

[TT Boy]

Marlon Samuels, you just can't push on can you? Does all the hard work and just chucks it away. Innings should be over soon.

 

[Spikey]

oh there you are

 

[Spikey]

anyway very good knock.

Just because you keep saying it doesnt mean it will come true

 

[pskov]

Two more wickets for 16 runs or three more for 47 runs and Broad's career bowling average will drop below 30 for the first time.

Windies will bat until at least lunch time tomorrow. Ramdin will score a 100.

 

[Spark]

Wouldn't bet against one of them being Ramdin at this rate.

EDIT: FMD.

EDIT2: Too high, Stuart.

 

[GIMH]

Setting up a very tricky chase here. Fair play to Windies, looked dead and buried at 36-3.
