Fosse Boy Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 First Test at Sabina Park, Jamaica. We've won the toss and are batting first. Predictions?
Corky Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 A morale-boosting series win ahead of a very important summer.
Milky Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 It's a pretty uninspiring series on paper, but i'll be watching as usual. At least we won't be up in the early hours this time!
Milky Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 Strauss dropped You've got to love the comedy West Indies fielding. Never fails to amuse.
Fosse Boy Posted 4 February 2009 Author Posted 4 February 2009 Strauss dropped You've got to love the comedy West Indies fielding. Never fails to amuse. :laugh: Wish I was near a TV. Relying on cricinfo at the moment, still sounds funny though!
Fosse Boy Posted 4 February 2009 Author Posted 4 February 2009 Straussy's gone. Don't think the responsibility's doing him any good at all.
SamL Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 Straussy's gone. Don't think the responsibility's doing him any good at all. He was bound to go eventually, didn't appear to be playing very well at all. They had so many chances to get him out. Bell is due some runs.

Corky Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 I'll be watching this from about 5.30 onwards for a bit. Looking forward to it.
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 Is Owais Shah injured or has he just been left out again?
Milky Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 Cook caught. Mishit pull tamely looped to mid-on. He looked out of touch aswell.
Milky Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 What has KP done to his face! Nice Moustache/beard combo.
Porky Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 What a typical England start! <_< 73-3 now! Kind of expected more to be honest.
Cobbo Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 TMS (or Boycott more specifically) are now laughing at England's decision to only pick one spinner as the ball is gripping and turning square. On day bloody one too - doh!
Corky Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 Disappointing first session. Hope it gets better after lunch.
martyn Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 Panesar must be licking his lips, this is ragging square.
Porky Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 94-4. Oh dear... Hope Panesar destroys the windies
Corky Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 Thank God it's stopped raining. Anymore of Willis and Knight and I think I may've kicked the TV in.
Brainy Posted 4 February 2009 Posted 4 February 2009 What boring (yet successful) tactics in the past hour by the Windies. Not that England are much better just defending.
SamL Posted 5 February 2009 Posted 5 February 2009 Another poor shot from one of England's batsman. England are 246-6 with Prior and Broad at the crease.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 5 February 2009 Posted 5 February 2009 Windies in the hot seat at 1-107 and only trailing by 200 odd
Corky Posted 5 February 2009 Posted 5 February 2009 Windies in the hot seat at 1-107 and only trailing by 200 odd It is quite concerning to be honest. We need wickets and quickly.
Fosse Boy Posted 5 February 2009 Author Posted 5 February 2009 Chris Gayle is a bit of a god. If you all hate referrals clap your hands.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 5 February 2009 Posted 5 February 2009 It is quite concerning to be honest.We need wickets and quickly. And Steve Stubbings Good to see Steve Parminson back
Fosse Boy Posted 5 February 2009 Author Posted 5 February 2009 And Steve Stubbings Good to see Steve Parminson back I'm of the belief that if England moved all of their Test matches to Chester-le-Street or somewhere else in North East England, Steve Harmison would probably become the greatest bowler in the history of cricket.
