*Official* England in West Indies

[TT Boy]

Road?

Anyways Sarwan's and Gayle's career stats are eerily similar.

No.

 

[Evermind]

And snicko. Not so fussed about Hawkeye, but the other two are pretty scientific technology and two of the most helpful gadgets. If you're going to use technology, go the whole hog.

But what is the logic behind not using snicko or hawkeye?

 

[andruid]

No.

yes

What's the logic behind anything the ICC does?

[Note to self: don't answer that]

Here comes Stuart B***d.

Now I know how people must feel when I rant incessantly about Bell. Give it a rest already, he's started well enough today.

Give what a rest? I didn't say anything bad about him. He's just been bad enough to qualify for swear word status.

 

[pasag]

His name has actually been added to the filter.

 

[Penguinissimo]

Oh, I see, it's a filter, is it?

Test - Stuart Broad

Didn't work - now I'm confused.

in his first over not one ball was hitable. It was a complete waste of an over.

Lets lift our sights a little higher than calling this good

I didn't call it good, I called it well enough - or maybe that should have been better than yesterday.

It seems like England's strategy this morning is to strangle them and hope for mistakes, so at least that is consistent.

Who would you rather have in your bowling lineup -

1) Warne and Broad or
2) McGrath and Panesar?



I'm using this indirect method of comparing Broad and Panesar because if I were to compare them directly I'm sure some whiner would go "bUT theY doNt eVEn boWL simILar stUFf duDE!!1!1!"

 

[Beleg]

this is an incredibly difficult wicket to score on...

and the outfield is ridiculous

Warne and Broad without any sort of a doubt.

It's not good bowling, but from England's point of view the game's not going anywhere. I'm not saying England should play for the draw, but they're in such a dire position that they'd be content to see the game drift.

Well you can take the outfield out of the equation

 

[Penguinissimo]

Now, Monty's just been hit for six - has he got the guts to keep on tossing it up? That's my major worry at the moment, that's he so bloody scared of going for runs that he won't risk taking a hit in order to pick up a wickets.

Warne, because the opposition can't see him off like they have a chance of doing to Mcgrath.

In terms of effectiveness, Panesar's better without a doubt. He's done it before. Broad hasn't.

EDIT: LOL Monty. Jinxed.

 

[Beleg]

amazing shots.

What a player. Gayle. hats off.

he's turning into a dead-set legend.

 

[Evermind]

This is murder!
