**Official** West Indies in England 2012

Hope Shillingford earns his corn second innings, because he's been a passenger here.

Windies missing a Nash or a Sarwan to send to a few overs of medium pace.

 

[Jacknife]

Because there aren't many occasions when a side bats for a whole day with the first 2 wickets already gone. Fresh start for the bowlers, new ball to come, etc.

Yes it was always going to be about how well England started again today and then how they could handle the new ball.

Isn't Sarwan a leggie?

 

[Spark]

wtf was that?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Isn't Sarwan a leggie?

Kolhi/Harris-esque roller, I think.

How does Sammy miss his length by thirty yards at his pace?!!??

 

[L Trumper]

Sammy threw a grenade there..

400 up, lets push for 500 and take the game by the scruff of the neck. We know there is a fair chance WI will be 100-4 again so this spell either side of tea can put England in a really strong position.

 

[Spark]

I would remind Bumble that Michael Clarke took 5 on that deck...

Anything around 200 would be gettable in 4th innings

 

[Howe_zat]

At what point to we get to jizz over England's lower order again? 'Cause I like doing that a lot.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wow. Amazing shot from Broad; almost like a cover-cut. Extraordinary.

 

[GotSpin]

Need another wicket asap

 

[Spark]

Love that shot. Almost a speciality of his.

 

[pskov]

If he finishes 121* then Broad's batting average will overtake his bowling average.

Narine in for Shillingford is going to be such a huge upgrade for West Indies. I hope he'll be drafted in for the third Test.

Now look what you've done.

EDIT
Marks is making some telling comments on TMS about Broad's use of the paddle sweep. Basically it's cost him his wicket far too often for the amount of runs it's earned him. Anyway, Swann time.

 

[Spark]

sigh. paddle sweep.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Now look what you've done.

Doesn't take any contribution from me to get an Englishman throwing his wicket away playing a crappy sweep shot.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

What a crap dismissal, bloody stupid sweep shot.

 

[GIMH]

Haha came in here thinking Spark would be huffing and puffing about the sweep
