**Official** West Indies in England Thread

[roseboy64]

Flintoff seems to have become the Harmiosn of the Caribbean.

Maybe Collins wasn't up to it.He did get hit in the face the day before!!

 

[roseboy64]

Bravo the MotM so far.

 

[Swervy]

Big collapse by WI this evening..this game is set up perfectly.

weather forcast is so-so...should be some rain but on the whole will be enough play for a result.

Tenner in tomorrow..I am on that train in the morning heading for Old Trafford, coz I think it will be a classic end to this test

£19 return from Cleethorpes.

Unfortunately my bedroom is getting re-carpeted, so I'm not allowed to go

Bravo the MotM so far.

If the Windies win.

If not, it's either Thorpe or Flintoff (unless Strauss plays a blinder in the second knock)

 

[Craig]

I think the West Indies can write a book on how to throw a good lead and nearly lose the game in one innings.

That said Bravo does look something special so far.

 

[Adamc]

Shaky start for England, both openers gone at 40/2. Interesting to see where Graham Thorpe will come in.

 

[Craig]

Is he fit to bat that is my question?

That was my question too, hence interesting to see where (i.e. batting position) he comes in.

apparently vaughan is saving him for an "emergency". i think he will come in at 6 or 7.

And another great session from the Windies there - how slow are they playing?

33 overs in 3 hours yesterday, now 21 in an hour and 20 or so...

So another England win, just before the weather closed in. Rob Key with a good knock to almost gaurantee his SA tour position. Ian Bell called in for thorpe for the next test Flintoff has now scored a fifty in each of his last 7 tests, what it the record?

Viv Richards holds the record with 11, followed by Edrich 10

 

[superkingdave]

No chance then...

 

[Swervy]

Just got back from Old Trafford, great day had by all.

Shaky stuff by England at the start, but the day topped off by Flintoff and key. Great atmosphere at the ground...got burnt to buggery, and then completely drench by the heaviest downpour I have seen in years.

Also got a slight headache from the 10 pints drunk (or £28.00 spent)..but well worth it...especially to see Fidel get all hot and bothered

 

[marc71178]

Why not?

He's done 7 so far, what's to say he won't do 4 more?!

It may be unlikely, but not completely out of the question.

the way he batted today he could easily do it...luck permitting of course

It may be unlikely, but not completely out of the question.

Especially as Flintoff has a good record vs the pacemen of South Africa. With the wickets offering some bounce and pace too i really could see Flintoff doing it...long way to go though.
