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

Possibly, I saw him at Gloucester not relevant really but he's bigger built than I had imagined.

How bad was the Strauss drop?

 

[pasag]

Lol, that Prior appeal reminded me of the opening scene of The Party.

Chipping away here...

Delaying tactics?

England doing what we do best, attempting to lose Test matches.

This will be one of the great chokes if it does happen. Well up there with Multan, Adelaide and the attempted choke at Edgbaston.

Question to those in the know (mainly WI fans); is Jaggernauth as good as his FC stats suggest?

 

[Perm]

It has to be said though, Chanderpaul is gun. Almost 5 and a half hours at the crease in this innings, coupled with his long stays in his previous turns to bat. He is really a class above the rest of the West Indies batting lineup.

That was woeful from Harmison

Anyone else noticed that when Panesar is bowling, whoever it is at silly mid-off is only getting into position as he is in his action?

Moving just as the ball is bowled is a big no-no. I hope its not intentional but I have my doubts.

Batsman has the right to complain if it's annoying him, so he can't have noticed

Monty!

Good catch Panesar, picks up his 5'fer.

 

[Fiery]

Some of the appealing is ridiculous here. The last 2 lbw shouts were missing another set.

Sammy gone now

Thank goodness for that.

Anyway, trivia quickie if anyone's interested ...

3 occasions when England have conceded 400+ in the 4th innings but still won the game.

 

[wpdavid]

Another drop
Collingwood of all people

 

[Pup Clarke]

Does anyone else think that Monty Panesar was out of order there?. When that last lbw was turned down he basically had a tantrum and was discussing it with Aleem Dar for a full 5 seconds. His appealing and gesturing whenever an lbw is turned down is bordering on the ridiculous imo.
