Good Fifty for Bell on Debut...am actually watching badminton instead though, crazy!

Bell's last twenty balls have yielded thirty runs...
Now, where to find the badminton when you're short of BBC?

Bell gone for 70, the Brits about to lose the badminton

Cant help thinking that West Indies plan to bounce out Andrew Flintoff early on was rather silly!

I'm shocked they didnt take the new ball at the end...it just screams defeatism when they where just a few wickets away from getting into the driving seat in the match.

yeah, giving Chris Gayle an over with 2 left in the day, the new ball available, and a very dangerous partnership looking set for tomorrow, was one of the weirdest and most pointless decisions I have ever seen.
Also, Lara will have to ask himself: "Would Sarwan have bowled himself for that long?" The answer will probably be the same as the answer to the question "Will I remain WI captain after this match?"

The time was running to the stage where Hollyoaks would've been delayed.
C4 were clearly offering to cover the sides over-rate fine if they get the 90 in by 6.25!

Big call for somebody who is yet to make his FC debut.SpaceMonkey said:
Not a bad first up innings by Bell getting hit on the shoulder, and went onto make a half century. One thing I can never work out is that why cricketers always seem to have far too many logos on their equipment, surely the manufacturers and the sponsors know this, and would not put the extra ones on to save them from being covered up or do it before they go out to bat?

I'm quite enjoying Harmo's wild bat swinging now.

You start to wonder about Jermaine Lawson's intelligence. I play at a very low level of cricket and even I know to pitch the ball up.

All the england bowlers bowled short at the WI tail in the first innings at Old Trafford too....maybe they just want to get one over on fellow fast bowlers and forgot the aim is to get them out.Mr Mxyzptlk said:

If Harmison, Giles and Hoggard were Indian, they'd doubtless be all-rounders now
