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

[Richard]

It's totally indecent that Foxtel are not showing this match.

Now the 7th Aussie to complain about that. Good stuff.

 

[Richard]

West Indies' ground-fielding has been nothing short of diabolical today.

 

[simmy]

I think MV has batted really well today. He won't get 100 for mine but still a good comeback.

God the Windies are so bad at fielding. Poor Sarwan has his work cut out here.

I wager he will.

 

[Richard]

Would you believe it?

 

[Tom Halsey]

Oh dear.

 

[simmy]

Oh god. I am laughing so hard. Gayle bowls a no ball and KP is stumped. This is amazing.

 

[grecian]

OOOHHHHH

KP stumped off a no-ball

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

Phew. I thought that was Vaughan for a minute.

 

[Richard]

I've only ever seen a spinner pay for a no-ball by missing a wicket once before now, and funnily enough he was batting at the other end this time and the opposition was the team we're playing at the mo.

Oh god. I am laughing so hard. Gayle bowls a no ball and KP is stumped. This is amazing.

Not least because Gayle turned one. In the 2nd session of the match. Encouraging for Panesar, I would have thought.

 

[wpdavid]

tbh I hadn't realised you couldn't be stumped off a no-ball. You can be stumped off a wide, no?

 

[Richard]

Eh? He didn't. It went straight on (as the Cook ball did).

And yeah, you can be stumped off a wide.

For those of us following the game via a combo of CW & cricinfo posts like that are downright cruel.

I wonder what Ramnerash Sarwan is thinking right now (and if I were Gayle I'd be praying KP gets out ASAP). PS - Phil Tuffnell could have cost us a Test by bowling a no-ball. Everybody reckoned he had Gary Kirsten stone cold dead LBW in the '99 DurbanTest while he was in the 30s but it was a no-ball and Kirsten went on to 275.

Blame cricinfo, who reckon it turned past the edge.

 

[Richard]

Haha, noooo. Beaten on the outside.

Forgot about that one. Make that three.

Vaughan was playing in that match too!

I knew for sure that there'd be about 4 or 5 of them, and was merely keen to get in there first.

Otherwise, naturally, I'd have offered the explanation simmy and grecian did.

 

[simmy]

OK I take it back. This could be a dream comeback from Vaughan. He just played the shot of the morning.
