Play to start on time. Should be a good day's cricket. C'mon the Windies!

 

[Perm]

Hopefully the rain holds off today, I want to see a whole heap more Test cricket.

 

[wpdavid]

Bah, I went for the wrong mediocre bowler!

I won't pretend to have remembered Johnson until someone mentioned it on TMS. On that occasion, the 5 lbw's feature was overshaddowed by the realisation of how horrible Zim were by then. Like you, I remembered Ealham, as quite a bit was made of it at the time.

Wish I could watch all but am on a course and have an exam tomorrow. Will watch the 1st session though

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm a 7-2 field for Plunkett...

 

[Fiery]

Has Chris Gayle's footwork got even lazier lately or is it just me?

 

[pasag]

Covers coming on. Match ending as it started.

 

[GIMH]

how we lookin?

 

[GIMH]

rain, dire, shame

 

[pasag]

how we lookin?

Really dire tbh, it's not raining heavily out there and there's no reason they shouldn't be playing. One of the worst things about this sport. It's just drizzle ffs.

 

[GIMH]

Perhaps an idea for a thread? Go on my lunch in 15, may start one

 

[Perm]

Bloody rain, I want this cricket to be on so I have a reason to stay up late.

 

[simmy]

Not only is there no live action but this game is now dead in the water (literally)

 

[wpdavid]

Might as well start looking ahead to Friday. Presumably Vaughan & Anderson in for Shah & Hoggard? Rightly or wrongly, the other quicks will stay. And that's about all really.

 

[alternative]

This has probably been asked around or what not, but why hasn't Hoggard being bowling? any injury that i am not aware of.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Yep, groin injury. Out of the next Test as well.

 

[Mister Wright]

Didn't see it, but I think he was injured in England's first bowling innings. Not sure what injury it is or how bad it is.

Probably.

Mahmood in for Plunkett?
Flintoff in for Plunkett?

 

[wpdavid]

I never thought I'd be so sorry to see Jonathan Lewis injured. For a one-off at Headingley, there's a lot worse options, especially with Anderson not really in any sort of form.

 

[wpdavid]

Probably.

Mahmood in for Plunkett?
Flintoff in for Plunkett?

Flintoff won't be fit enough to bowl, will he? Personally I'd be happy to see Mahmood in for Harmison, although it's a lot less than likely.
