***Official** West Indies in England***

So what is your team for the next game then? I say Flintoff in for Plunkett, with Fred at 8!

Bell and Colly both deserve to stay. Alternatively Strauss should go and Hoggard can come in for Plunkett.

I knew that Sidebottom was someone to look out for.

Dunno, I'm getting increasingly depressed over Flintoff's injury. I certainly fear that we'll never see him and Jones bowling full pelt, ever again

Ryan picks up the last, I thought it bounced.

No Prior? cos THAT is harsh

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Why on earth did I flip from Sidebottom in the predictions league...

 

[TT Boy]

WI have basically just attacked way too much, they should have just been defending while it's moving all over the place like this - instead they've been trying to go after the ball.

West Indies have just basically forgotten where their off stump is located. None of the slip catching practice wickets were particularly good deliveries (all wide enough to leave) and any batsman worth his salt would have just let it go ala Vaughan yesterday. But the West Indies suck so what do you expect?

Prior to get ripped to shreds in 5... 4... 3...

Prior puts a simple one down, oh dear.

Well the ball is moving all over the place so it's harder to leave, but obviously something is going wrong when you get bowled out in 37 overs.

So did I. Cheating.

Nothing will be made of it of course though.

I don't have the pic saved on this computer, so I'm just gonna have to say it really loudly instead.

BING LEE.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Quite impressed with Sidebottom. A very talented swinger. From what I'm seeing.

 

[grecian]

Ryan strikes, I wouldn't of giving it myself, but I suppose it was hitting the wicket.

 

[cover drive man]

Absoloutely fantastic day for England. Well done.

 

[roseboy64]

Absolutely poor day really by the West Indies which caused that.

 

[roseboy64]

Gonna have to bat until at least day 5 for them to have any chance.

It is when it is pitched well outside off stump, fair play to the bowler if is bringing it back miles but Plunkett 99% of the time was swinging it away from the right handers. When Liam did try to bring it back it was a simple single for the batsman.

 

[roseboy64]

Lost of those deliveries that were wickets could have been left.
