*Official* England in West Indies

[BoyBrumby]

Worst referral ever.

I hope they fine Monty again, his appealing really pisses me off, it's a form of intimidation and he just looks an idiot.

haha don't think anyone is indimidated by it...just massively annoyed. Hopefully we won't be seeing him in England colours for a while after this though

If Panesar plays this summer, you'd hope the home fans will give him some serious ****e over the way he goes about his business. Maybe then he'll grow up or discover his brain. One of the big losers from this winter's tours, and after a decent spell in the 1st dig he looks further behind Swann than ever.

 

[Scaly piscine]

England should have used a quick burst of seamers with about 19 overs to go.

Then just use the spinners in this final hour, getting through the overs quickly and get through more than the minimum 15 overs.

 

[wpdavid]

Broad appears to have developed a slower ball.

He's bowled well in the second innings too. I'd still have Swann as the number one in the summer, if only because his batting and fielding give him the edge.

Of course we are now in the awkward situation where two of our 5 best test match bowlers are fingerspinners, and you can't really pick two in the same team in England apart from very rare circumstances.

 

[superkingdave]

Shouldn't have used up your referral you prat

 

[Richard]

Deary deary me, absolute **** referral no way that is going to get changed...thrown away

And a referral might've been useful there, but maybe not.

 

[zaremba]

Gayle as lucky there as Hinds had been unlucky

 

[ozone]

That serves England right for pissing away there reviews.

 

[Richard]

Still can't fathom him bowling here though.

 

[superkingdave]

Yeah if there's one seamer on it has to be Anderson

It wasn't so long ago that most people would've said that two spinners should play in most Tests.

However ineffective one or both of them were.

 

[Richard]

Another four byes and I bet everyone involved with England wishes it was wides.

 

[Richard]

Needs a miracle to win this now.

 

[ozone]

Looks like England are going for the 'bowl 15 overs, taking time to get fields right' approach rather than try to rush through.

 

[Richard]

Anderson back on now, but mefeels it's a little too late.

Every non-wicket-taking delivery now being applauded.

 

[Uppercut]

Has he seriously finished with Swann?

 

[Richard]

Back in with an outside shout.
