**Official** West Indies in England 2012

[Viscount Tom]

If he's worried about getting pace form his run up then he should increase its length.

 

[Uppercut]

Speaking of heads; Kemar's is gone here.

Yeah. The psychological impact of the two no-ball wickets is way out of proportion to its effect on the team's standing in the game. They're 330 runs ahead but it feels like they've already blown the match.

 

[Spark]

Bout 'bloody time. Windies so desperately needed that.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Warne starting to get on my **** now. Keeps pronouncing it as "Ram-pole". It's Ram-Paul, surely? Never even heard any other comms go any other way.

Not much wrong with Ravi's stamina anyway, he's reeled off nine overs straight after lunch despite the umpromising looking physique.

Haven't been listening, but I'm repeating "Rampole" and "Rampaul" to myself in my head and there's almost no discernible difference in the pronunciation, might just be a Kiwi/Aussie accent thing?

Pole Keating?

Nah, even if I mentally affect an Australasian twang I can hear a difference.

 

[Spark]

Hmm, can barely tell the difference myself.

 

[Jacknife]

Another NB, as a former bowler I can't get my head around why is hasn't sorted this out.

 

[BoyBrumby]

That's harsh on Ramdin calling them byes. Was about three feet down leg by the time the ball passed him.

 

[Spark]

Did anyone else think that had bowled him?

 

[Spikey]

i wasn't watching. but i had the sound on and well i swear that hit the stumps
edit so yes spark

 

[Burgey]

Strauss. So arsey

 

[Spikey]

"he's missed the box!"

 

[Spark]

"He's got a good action"

Brumby to comment.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bumble's been at the horseradish, IMHO. Just said Shillingford has a good action.

Other adjectives spring more immediately to my mind.

EDIT: Glad not to disappoint...

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

What have you done Chanders?! you are out first ball lbw 2nd innings

 

[Jacknife]

Trott's played some lovely shots since walking to the crease.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Have to say Sammy's served up some pies so far.

It's like the poor fellow's only got so much talent and he's used his allocation on his batting this test.

Cue a Michelle now, obvz...

 

[LegionOfBrad]

With 34 overs left today i can see England being 120 behind at close of play tonight with maybe only 3 wickets down. Its been a fast scoring game.

They'll be seven down at stumps
