You could say the same for Most of englands batsmen in the first innings. All rash shots, or just poor judgement. Bar maybe Trescothicks.
Or lots of McGrath and Pollock's Test Wickets :)

Jacobs out fencing at a short ball, another rash shot.

According to Chris Cowdrey:

"Brilliant bouncer by Harmison"

According to Jeffrey Dujon:

"Poor shot by Jacobs, un-called for, should have been left"

And Tino Best with another...fends at a short ball that should have been left!

Amazing bowling by England here, bowl it in all the places they should leave the ball and they have a got at it!

Are the Harmo-doubters going to shut up anytime soon?
Dont want to go OTT but this spell has been one of the best you'll likely to see in test cricket by an englishmen for a long time. I mean i cant remember a bad ball, the wicket is relatively flat and he's just cut his pace down slightly and put everyball on the spot.

Pollock and McGrath bowl it just close enough for the batsman not to leave it and on a length they don't know weather to go back or forwards to. The West Indies and England have simply been gifting each other wickets off widish or short balls that should have been left.

Trescothick's was just a typical Trescothick shot.
Dab without foot-movement.

I love it....:D
Exactly - you love it, and your spontaneous delight causes the strenuous desire to praise all who are causing you this delight.
Fortunately for you, you're not on international radio, so you get away with it. MCJ doesn't.
