**Official** West Indies in England 2012

[SeamUp]

Big day for Bresnan, been really lacklustre here and at Lord’s. Not shades of the bowler who Sri Lanka made mince out of all those years back but the guy who averages over 30 in FC cricket.

KP might be able to buy a wicket.

Haha certainly brought him into question, mate!

Bres gets two!

 

[Uppercut]

Was there to be hit.

 

[Spark]

Was there to be hit.

Yeah if he'd just played a "normal" shot to it he'd probably have picked up a couple at least.

 

[amanuensis]

Bresnan currently averaging 114 for the series.....

Down to 58 now. Bit pissed off frankly - hope he doesn't get a jammy michelle!

It was the MS Dhoni vs. the new ball shot from last summer. Looks like it's specifically designed to pick out first slip.

 

[TT Boy]

Rampaul is a better batsman than these two. Bresnan for 5.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Despite him making the breakthrough today I am still not sure Bresnan is in anything like the form and fitness of last summer.

You'd fancy England to get a first innings lead on this pitch though.

Have better luck opening your eyes, Graeme. FFS. Schoolgirl slipping.

Oh, shot. Lovely drive from Roach.

Roach heard you.

 

[Spark]

Helps to be looking at the ball when you're trying to catch it...

Why?

He has stuck at it, not at his best but bowled ok. Got both centurians out so hardly jammy.

Nah not really. Bowled pies for much of yesterday as his ER suggests.

Poor indeed. And not the first one he's missed in recent memory.

 

[Uppercut]

This bowling is all over the place, surely they should be aiming for the stumps?

They're rattled, aren't they. Expected to bowl WI out for under 200 and struggling to cope with what's happened since the 6th wicket fell. tbh I'm surprised that the coach and captain didn't sort them out after close of play yesterday.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bres is back, babeh!

Never doubted him.

 

[Spark]

Haha, was bound to happen, wasn't it?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Bresnan to clean up the tail and finish with 5 after we slagged him off

Not a bad call at all.

 

[Burgey]

Shillingford slogs decently doesn't he?

 

[Burgey]

Once again, Swann with the big first innings scalp...
