West Indies in control of 5th test!!!!

[Anon2]

West Indies in a good position. Last time I looked they were 162/1 on the first day. Will they win the series?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Nah, Draw. They've got Shivnarine "136 off 510" Chanderpaul, remember...

Oh God... just checked the latest scores. 286/4 (from 246/1). Chanderpaul has FOUR off TWENTY EIGHT!

This is worse than Hashan Tillekeratne! And a horrible cross-breed genetic accident between Chris Tavaré and Geoffrey Boycott.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

lol haha

draw will be good, but go INDIA... this is a green grassy pitch, and that means ....:P

Don't knock Chanderpaul, he keeps an end up and scores runs - him and Hooper are having fantastic series'

 

[FrontierPsychiartrist]

Hooper best by far...

 

[lord_of_darkness]

chanderpauls avg is really high for the series

yea hooper and hinds and jacobs and practically everyone else is having a good game except for lara

 

[FrontierPsychiartrist]

Is Lara's time up then?

I think not...

 

[Neil Pickup]

I didn't say he was a bad player, just that he was terrible to watch. But not quite as bad as this nugget from the CGS 2002 stats:

R Dixon = Matches 3 Innings 3 NO 0 Runs 2 HS 2 Balls Faced 42 Average 0.67 Strike Rate 4.76

And to everyone laughing at my batting average, stick that in a combined list of all our Y10,Y9,Y8 and Y7 players, and it would be Seventh out of Twenty Eight.

Hey, Boycott would be by far the best batsmen England would have if he was playing today. I know people get fed up with his comments but they are true. England are crap, and he could get more runs himself than the whole England team put together.

 

[Neil Pickup]

That's a bit harsh. And complete rubbish. 529-5 last time wasn't it. I don't recall Geoffrey ever passing 300, let alone 500...

If we picked players on talent not on who-plays-for-Surrey or who-is-related-to-me then we would do better.

And it's down to Sachin now. 255 required, 7 wickets in hand, off minimum 126 overs. Tendulkar 78*

 

[Rich2001]

India 187/5 (62.2 ov)

India require another 221 runs with 5 wickets remaining

India RR: 3.00

Minimum overs
remaining today: 21.4

Batsmen:
A Ratra 3
VVS Laxman 7

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

India destined to defeat at Sabina

Only chance of salvation is the fine cricketer by the name of "RAIN"

West Indies 422 & 197
India 212 & 237/7 (80.0 ov)

India require another 171 runs with 3 wickets remaining

Stumps - Day 4

There is however a 40% chance of rain tomorrow. Who knows?
The WI are currently large and in charge though!

 

[lord_of_darkness]

yup bro no one can doubt u

yea its a loss here , praying to rain god !!

damn :-( what a sad ending , hopefully i have something to look forward to in the one dayers

 

[FrontierPsychiartrist]

England's problem is that it's still an 'old-boys club'.

 

[Anon2]

They need to get rid of has-beens Butcher, Stewart, and Ramprakash and get a whole new load of people in. Can't they see that we won't win with the players we have, so why not get new ones in?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Because the team is picked not on talent but on other factors that no-one knows about. It happens at other places too, Chris has been less-than-happy about things at Aston Manor of late, haven't you?

 

[FrontierPsychiartrist]

Aston Manor?????

 

[lord_of_darkness]

India loss another GReat overseas loss for them lol

hopefully the ODIs can be won

 

[Anon2]

Half of them have been rained off!

 

[Rich2001]

And today's game has also been delayed by rain again
