    *Official* England in West Indies

    Yeh thats a very good point! People are very quick to criticise but very slow to praise when people have performed well. I for one want to give the players a big pat on the back for their performance in this match so far. Lets hope they nail the advantage home today!

    *Official* England in West Indies

    Awful batting by the windies...no surprise there really...and straight accurate bowling by an Englishman, now there is a shock!! Good on you Swanny. I was a bit apprehensive when he got picked ahead of Monty but he has done himself mighty proud! Now lets put a quick 200 on the board and then...

    Benaud Quits

    What an absolute legend he will be sorely missed. Here are a couple of my favourite benaud quotes: My mantra is: put your brain into gear and if you can add to what's on the screen then do it, otherwise shut up. Richie Benaud The hallmark of a great captain is the ability to win the toss...

    *Official* England in West Indies

    I think we should have enough to win this game. The key wicket as ever against us is Chanderpaul if we can get him cheap at least once i fancy our chances. Marshall is appaling i was unhappy to see him replace by hinds!!

    Do you rate Chris Gayle as a captain?

    Haha yeh true! Fair point well made. I really don't know how this guy still makes their team. When he played a bit for Hampshire season before last including at Lords he was very poor. Has a bit of pace but nothing much else, especially not a brain

    Your Theories Please

    A lot of it is psychological, I know from playing for my club side when you get in one of those collapses it is hard to stop irrelevant of pitch, bowling or conditions. Batsman go in thinking they ar going to get out. It is a testament to both the players and background staff for coming out in...

    Do you rate Chris Gayle as a captain?

    The problem is it is too easy to say he is the best the Windies have got.....but i still believe he actually brings a sense of calm to the team due to his chilled out nature. And with all the young west indies players who go off the rails constantly i think his presence as captain is a good...

    I agree with this, i too think strauss will enforce the follow on and i think it will be a decision made based on the fragility of the confidence of the current England team.

    Are medium-pacers useful in modern test cricket?

    As someone has said a lot of it is down to how good and flat the pitches are in the current game. To be successful at that kind of pace you really need something a bit special, one of the few is Chaminda Vaas. All the other bowlers who bowl at sub 80mph are usually all rounders or part time bowlers.
