*Official* England in West Indies

[Evermind]

WIndies have a batting lineup nearly as good as England's, if Bravo and Samuels come in.

England have 2 good batsmen - Pietersen counts for 1.5 batsmen and Strauss for 0.5.

11overs out of 101 for Harminson, this is the man who got (7-20?) on his last tour to the Windies.

Every time Sidebottom comes on to bowl, he looks like he emerged roaring from a nearby cave, ready to hunt an animal and club a woman. What's up with him? Has he always been like this?

Funnier than the Twenty20 gag, TBH.

Because the gaga was not funny

It were 7-12. And it were a one off.

Yes.

Is anyone actually being entertained by this?

Which isn't hard.

Windies have the talent, but also do England IMO, if you'd want two players to bat for you're life, i'd have Strauss and Bell... over the likes of Samuels and Bravo.

Dear Geoffrey Boycott,

Please STFU about bowling cutters.


Then piss off back to France

Thank you

I've watched him all last summer for Durham running in bowling his heart out to get back into the England side, now he's been used for 11overs.

Edit: Harmy back into the attack LOL.

Having Ian Bell bat for your life is akin to peeing on the wires of an electrified train track with an express thundering towards you.

 

[Evermind]

Yes.

Is anyone actually being entertained by this?

Not really. I enjoy watching Sidebottom make faces, but lose interest once the ball is released.

 

[Goughy]

Yes.

Is anyone actually being entertained by this?

Now I am with the big fella coming on.

Fingers crossed he breaks 85 mph

 

[Neil Pickup]

Surely he's hit that?

No. That looks out. Nothing conclusive to reverse it. MUST be out...

 

[steds]

Verdict anyone?

 

[Durham_CCC]

Chanderpaul gone.

 

[grecian]

If he doesn't give this I'll cry.....

 

[superkingdave]

Yeah, we get the right decision this time. Big wicket. Broad with three...who'd have thunk it?

England clawing a bit back....hopefully restrict the lead to under 100

 

[Evermind]

Out fo sho!

Holding, by the way, is the only commentator I've seen who's almost always objective/non-biased.

 

[steds]

Listening to referrals is dire. Like to be able to make my own mind up if they're going to do that.
