***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

[Cabinet96]

Devon Smith ton coming up unless he manages to get himself out lbw to Tredwell. You heard it here first.

Good call. Can join Hafeez, Sehwag and Spuderford as openers who randomly got runs against England bowling pies in the first innings of an away series.

 

[Pratters]

Brave call to back a Devon Smith 100. Any ways, was seeing his stats and hasn't had a six in his test career. Respect increases.

 

[Zinzan]

He's not chucking anymore, but I'd still never call what he does "bowling properly".

Lol, k.

 

[Cabinet96]

So have we got any more commentators for the afternoon session?

 

[Pratters]

It's sad to see the sparse crowds. I remember the stadiums in the Windies in the mid 90s used to be packed. I could understand the crowds dwindling during the WC in 2007 as many of the stadiums were far away from the city. This just saddens me to see so few people in for the tests.

I've sworn off commentating until I get a non-terrible mic.

Speaking of the commentary, time for another Martin van Jaarveldt plug.

 

[Cabinet96]

We should probably all get proper microphones if only to reduce background noise.

Dan tasting that midwicket flick.

 

[mightymariner]

Dat BOTM plug

I have just came back to see Anderson got 20 & Samuels got a wicket. Cricket to return to usual standards please, this is weird

 

[OverratedSanity]

Did this just turn into a a commentary thread about CW commentary?

 

[Cabinet96]

The cricket has been quite dull since the 9th English wicket fell, tbf.

I tried getting tickets to Australia's games but the options are limited. A full tour package or waiting for local sales 3 weeks before hand. Which then means calling the local booking office or getting via your hotel or at the ground after traveling. That's a piss poor effort with so many USA based ex-pats.

 

[Dan]

Anybody interested in commentating the second session?

 

[Pratters]

I am trying to setup. Will ping you when I am able to get every thing setup.

 

[Jarquis]

I can do a short stint of comms

I was just thinking about how you were the only one to predict a score anywhere near this low at stumps yesterday, but your reasoning of "I don't trust Chris Jordan" ended up quite ironic.

I did say I thought we'd lose Stokes early too tbf but yeah...

Hussain with the Kookaburra hate. "Does nothing after 15 overs."
