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

He so deserved that. MotS whatever happens surely.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Blackwood deserves another ton, been a cracking innings given the circumstances. Hope Gabriel can stick around.

 

[harsh.ag]

This is stupid. Blackwood finally taking on Anderson at least.

 

[Goughy]

Some rate Anderson higher than I do but he is clearly miles ahead of the plodders who surround him in this team.

Only one who gets near him is Broad every 6th game or so when he suddenly finds a spell from nowhere and turns a game in no time.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good catch, unlucky Blackwood.

Well bowled Jimmy.

 

[Goughy]

Agreed. He would be a wonderful third seamer who could bowl one special spell a series to win a Test. It is tough having him as the number 2 guy though and even worse that there are no real obvious candidates to take the new ball instead of him.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Great he is off the pair, needs a big score though to save his career.

 

[GIMH]

What target we comfortable with setting here?

 

[Niall]

Having an argument with a friend, its lighthearted somewhat.

How much money should I bet on Ali to take more wickets than Lyon in The Ashes?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

What target we comfortable with setting here?

We score 200 runs in our 2nd innings and we are safe I reckon. Doubt WI will score 200 anyway but anything over 250 will be bloody hard to chase on this pitch another day on.

 

[GIMH]

Trott

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That should be a sad end to his test career. If he does play again it can't be as an opener.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good job we have a decent lead already. Might need it.

 

[fredfertang]

Really sad - was so hoping he'd be making George Dobell eat a large helping of humble pie

 

[Beamer]

I'm massively regretting not having the old Kemar roach on this pitch. He would have been pretty special in these conditions. Still, I'm pleased with the fight being shown, I hope they keep up the intensity.

 

[Goughy]

We score 200 runs in our 2nd innings and we are safe I reckon. Doubt WI will score 200 anyway but anything over 250 will be bloody hard to chase on this pitch another day on.

I may be conservative but I'd be happy with a target of 300. 250 or so only needs one good innings to make it tight finish.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Gabriel bowling well here. Did England fire him up by telling him he has two girls' names?

 

[Goughy]

He hit that didnt he?

 

[Cabinet96]

Time to get worried?
