**Official** West Indies in England 2012

[LegionOfBrad]

Obviously this match isn't over yet. But do we think England will field the same 11 on Friday. I didn't see yesterdays play but evidently Bres had a bit of a stinker from his figures.

Do you think they might go with Onions as its Trent Bridge and will likely swing (though the weather is looking great for the week coming)

And do you think the Windies will go with the same bowling attack? Edwards perhaps most at risk if Rampaul is fit.

this could get interesting yet

ehh looking like it'll just be an anticlimax to me. Far too much loose bowling, gonna need to do better than this.

 

[uvelocity]

I just got home but at least they got 2 wickets. poms game to lose though.

 

[Burgey]

Edwards needs to actually do something for a change. Shades of Sami about him.

Fidel I mean, though Kirk should try and do something too.

 

[stumpski]

100 up - at better than four an over.

Expected it to be tougher than this tbh.

One wicket and you have a debutant coming into bat. Admittedly then followed by the best number 7 in world cricket along with the best tail. But they have shown they can collapse in the last year.

Roach needs to get it bang on in his next spell. I can't see the rest pitching in enough.

Swann is batting 11. That's just a bit silly.

It was getting very interesting after Pietersen's wicket, but unfortunately since then they have simply failed to capitalize on the pressure.

Swann is batting 11. That's just a bit silly.

If it came down to him needing runs i don't think we'll get them. He's amazing at brutalising already tired attacks but tends not to get runs in a crisis.

 

[Burgey]

Roach should be having a crack before lunch ffs.

 

[GIMH]

Can't see this lasting to post-lunch drinks. Think Bell will go, at some point, and Cook and Ginge will see us home.

I'd back Swann to get any less than 10. 15-20 would be interesting.

 

[uvelocity]

yeah they are pretty much done now. that was quick

 

[stumpski]

All the WI supporters in the ground look like the remnants of those who were cheering Lloyd's men on in '76.

Clearly the next generation have different sporting heroes.

 

[GIMH]

Surprised we're scoring so quickly. Good to see though.

 

[MW1304]

Wow roach is pretty special isn't he? Really had us in trouble for a mo.

 

[Howe_zat]

Happy with the score. Extremely happy I didn't know they were 57/4.

 

[Spikey]

**** off samuels

 

[GIMH]

Bell should block from here and let Cook get his ton. Would need no more nbs/byes and a boundary to finish, but.

 

[Bahnz]

All a bit sad, but predictable enough. Besides Roach, the windies just don't have enough quality in their bowling. Given that England would've had Swann batting at 11, it was always going to be tough to bowl them out. But as with every day of this match bar day 4, they've played poorly and England fully deserve the win.
