Good resistance by the middle order after the wrothless capitulation of the openers.

Is this Sammy guy a reasonable batsman?

Apparently. But I doubt many have seen much more of him than the first innings.

 

[Beleg]

My question was mostly directed towards those who follow WI domestic cricket. Based on first innings, he seems like a hapless rabbit against any kind of spin...

 

[Prince EWS]

Except when Harmison gets it right

And when Afridi gets it right with the bat, he's the most destructive player in the world. He's still rubbish though because it only happens once every twelve years. It's a moot point really.

Haha. Well said. Harmison is such a donk.

He should be moving up the batting order then - that seems to be the criteria for being selected in the West Indian top 4.

This guy is hilarious! Top work Prince.

Keep em coming.

Woah wtf?

Great catch by Colly, from an average ball by Plunkers. Might keep him in the team.

Edit:he's not giving it, or gone upstairs.

 

[Scaly piscine]

What the hell is the point in bowling Harmison one over before tea and then one over after tea before bringing Panesar on. Completely stupid captaincy.

 

[pasag]

Collingwood's done three brilliant things in the field now in under 5 minutes.

 

[grecian]

Better bowling there by Plunkers, may create a bit of pressure.

Utterly awesome fielder. He is wasted in the slips, especially considering that Monty was at cover point earlier on today.

Great play by Bravo. Your actually quite lucky Pasag, this has been the best cricket of the match. You missed a lot of dross, tbh.

The whole of today has been pretty good to watch. Both in the standard of cricket and the competitive nature of the match now.

 

[pasag]

Yeah, been a top day of cricket.

 

[simmy]

Just wish that Plunkett stopped bowling.

Monty one end, Harmison and Sidey at the other... all day long.

Any Englishmen getting a little worried?

A lot of pace seems to have gone out of the wicket. Hopefully the new ball will change things a bit. Harmi and Ryan will take it no doubt.

Actually, if you take the embarassing collapse in the Windies first innings out of this match, it's been quite even throughout.

I really think that if we get one.. then another couple should be easy enough.

A Monty wicket is imminent.

KP on again, Vaughn must not be fit to bowl.
