The FINAL--> Westindies VS England

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

nicely taken by shivvy, hinds frustrated collingwood into that one, though im sure richard would say that was entirely the batsmans stupidity...

Well it was largely due to his stupidity considering how much time is left in the innings.

Even as a Durham fan I would say that it's batsman stupidity, will be interesting to see how WI can score some runs later considering there's no mohammad sami & abdul razzaq buffet bowling in England's side.

Harmison, Giles and Flintoff are joke bowlers. The danger man is clearly Michael Vaughan... after Wharf that is. As for Gough, I'm not convinced he exists.

Grabs spliff....

Hey!! This is TEA!

Uh oh, Solanki gone...but that's no real surprise, is it?

Him out, Pietersen in anybody?

 

[marc71178]

Moronic dismissal number 2. Can't expect to win if you throw wickets away like this.

Sounded more like a superb catch to me.

 

[Nate]

Lara MOTM for fielding?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Oh my hat, another amazing catch, and Hinds` bowling has been sublime.

 

[marc71178]

With Hinds' success with the ball, could Collingwood be a key player in this game still?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Possibly, but I hope not.

Go Windies!

It was the premeditated nature of the charge down the wicket which was moronic

Sorry marc, but are you saying that Hinds and Collingwood are similiar bowlers, or that their pace is similiar??

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hitting a medium pace long-hop in the air to a fielder is a moronic dismissal no matter how good the catch is

(in the 20oddth over I mean, last 10 I could excuse)

... and on this occasion he'd be dead right.

 

[wpdavid]

Him (Solanki) out, Pietersen in anybody?

Hard to say. Do you move Strauss to opener when he's doing so well at 4 in the oneday side? Or promote Vaughan & Strauss one place each? It's not as if Vaughan produces the goods with any sort of regularity in this form of the game, but I suppose his innings against Aus will save his place for the time being. But Solanki has done nothing in the 3 games that count since his return, so I couldn't argue with him going. It looks like I owe you that 50p after all.

 

[Nate]

TRESCOTHICK HUNDRED - that is HUGE!! Excellent if not chancy innings, when Freddie did not fire, Marco did.

 

[Nate]

sorry, but WHY hasnt "other" Hinds bowled? i thought he wouldve suited the pitch...

 

[Scaly piscine]

I'd happily move Strauss to opener, he is an opening batsman and he's certainly good enough and he'd get extra overs to bat in which would be a benefit to England. Vaughan can stay at 3 and you could argue to have Flintoff at 4 then Pietersen at 5 or the other way around. Anyway great hundred from Tresco and good brisk scoring from Giles.

 

[marc71178]

Sorry marc, but are you saying that Hinds and Collingwood are similiar bowlers, or that their pace is similiar??

I'd say they're similar types of bowler actually, and in these conditions, you never know.

 

[Waughney]

And England finish their innings on 217 all out.
Great hundred by Trescothick.

cool, just wondering id actually say wharf and hinds are more similiar, but what the hey. its a day for "medium" pacers (and maybe fast bowlers... im lookin at you harmy!!)
