Sammy to ton up.

Half way there.

This is annoying. Although it shows how flat the pitch is. Less than 300 from here please.

Yeah might be too little too late, this is a 350 bare minimum pitch IMO

 

[Burgey]

This is good. Get as many as you can before the new rock without being rank stupid.

J. Trott v D. Sammy.

Let us never insult the IPL again

300 gives you a chance in most matches tbh, though it does look flat doesn't it?

Decent fight back from 4-60 and 6-130 mind.

Needs more KP and Atul Sharma.

Looks seriously flat now with a 70+ over old ball, but it's a quality fightback.

 

[Burgey]

Little puff of dust there in that one from Swann. Dunno if it was rough or the pitch as a whole is really that dry.

 

[Jacknife]

Wicket before the new ball would be very welcome.

 

[Uppercut]

Seems a lot like the pitch here last year in that it's so difficult to keep it tight when the wickets aren't coming.

 

[Spikey]

you can tell sammy just wants to charge down the pitch and smash trott over mid on ala ea sports cricket 2004

 

[Jacknife]

Rubbish.

The pitch last year had a lot more pace+bounce than this one tbh.

 

[Jacknife]

It'll be interesting to see how England go about their business on this pitch.

 

[benchmark00]

Top hand fo' show, mun.

 

[Spark]

Yeah Swann is all over the shop here. Lucky for him he won't need to bowl again today.

EDIT: Just as I said that...

 

[MW1304]

Damage limitation with the new ball will be so important, for Windies now and us tomorrow.

Tough spell for Anderson & Broad imo - they're knackered, the batsmen are well set but they know they need wickets badly.

Move your feet, Marlon...
