West Indies in England

[whufc]

Great stuff by the reggae boyz last night!

Watched most of it last night and geez at times Samuels looks like his going to fall to sleep before the ball gets to him.

Funny moment Chanderpaul on strike Samuels at the non strikers end. Anderson bowls a full one Chanderpaul front foot drive hits Anderson finger on the way through and then onto the stumps, bails go flying the Poms appeal. YEAH NAH Samuels aint going anywhere infact he hadnt moved at any stage and was about a metre inside his crease.

Now we need to not crumble and get the score around the 400 mark and we will be right in this one.

W.I. 370 ALL OUT
Samuels 117
Sammy 106

England 0/4 LUNCH.

Cook CAUGHT behind for 2

WAIT !!!!! Checking for No - Ball and ...................................... YES , it is confirmed, ROACH
overstepped and Cook aint going anywhere.

FFS !!!!!! When in the F**K are all these highly paid professional coaches going to get all these highly paid professional bowlers do the simple thing of keeping their F***N foot behind the F***N line ? Surely it aint that hard FFS ? There's a line, bowl behind it, pretty f***N simple isn't it? Totally deflating to the team when this F**K up happens. It's so bloody hard to get top order wickets at Test level without having to get them out twice !

No Balls are the single most frustrating mistake made by cricketers that annoy me the most. Just seems to be acceptable for some reason.

SACK the bowlers and the COACH until they get it right.

[wycbloods]

Happened again to Cook as well off Roach again.

Then Rampaul gets Cook caught behind, for the 3rd time, the ball after a no ball.

Calm done matey. If you sacked every bowler who ever bowled a noey you'd end up with less bowlers than a teeball match.

8 NO - Balls in 20 overs

Has cost them 8 runs as well as 2 wickets all be it the same batsman who has eventually been dismissed.

Warney thinks it should be a FREE HIT in all forms of the game, not just T20 & 1 dayers.

[stampy]

understand your sentiments there jimmy, it happens way too often and the poms always seem to be the beneficiaries now that **** me off!!

[jackpot jim]

Lunch day 3
Eng 6/340 Trail by 30

Strauss has crawled to 125* (23 in that 2 hr session)
Bresnan 4*

[jackpot jim]

Poms 7/411 Lead by 41 Game slipping away from the Windies here. Eng bat very deep. If only Narine was playing Test cricket instead of making $$$$ in IPL, the Windies would be batting by now with a handy lead.
Bresnan 28*
Broad 24*

Replays showing Shillingford (the Windies offie) 0/106, overstepping the crease by a few inches and NOT being called No Ball. WTF are the umps looking at? WTF is a Offie flirting with the line every ball.Just ridiculous. Guess thats another reason they say cricket is a funny game.

[Jim05]

England dismissed for 428
Windies had 26 overs to face at end of day and have collapsed to be 6/61
Lead by 3 with 4 wickets remaining, wouldnt expect play to reach lunch tomorrow

[Jim05]

KP has stood down from all shorter forms of the game and will now only make himself available for test matches

KP has stood down from all shorter forms of the game and will now only make himself available for test matches

Scored hundreds in his last two ODI matches, too!

[jackpot jim]

1st 2 days of 3rd test WASHED OUT.

1st time since 1964 that the 1st 2 days of a test have been washed out in England.

[The Dark Knight]

1st 2 days of 3rd test WASHED OUT.

1st time since 1964 that the 1st 2 days of a test have been washed out in England.

Last night I thought you beauty I'll watch some of it, turned on foxtel only to find Gower, Holding and Atherton chatting away with it pissing down behind them.

[jackpot jim]

think the forecast is better for tonight with more showers for the last 2 days.

[jackpot jim]

Windies sent into bat by the Poms.
Windies 1/90 (31 overs)

Barath dropped at 3rd slip twice by Bell (both as easy as you can expect in slips) on 4 & 40.

Barath 41*
Fudadin (Debutant ) 19* only 2 centuries in 49 1st class matches at an ave of just over 30 probably shows where West Indian cricket is atm.

[jackpot jim]

Barath gone LBW Onions 41. Asks for a review. Replays show ball just clipping leg stump so decision stays.

Mikey thinks its a poor decision.

W.I. 2/90

Lara , i mean Bravo strides to the crease.

[jackpot jim]

Mikeys still dribbling shite.
Get over it.
Umpire gave it OUT. The review showed NO clear error so whats the problem ?

Mikeys almost saying that unless the ball is crashing into middle stump 1/2 way up. it should be given Not Out especially if it's a West Indian batsman.

W.I. 9/342.

Tino Best (No. 11) 50* n.o. (46 balls). 1st No. 11 Test batsman to score a 50 against England for 106 years.

Best has shared a last wicket stand of 60 so far with Ramdin 73*.
Unbelievable stuff.

W.I. still going. 9/401

Ramdin 101*
Best 76* HIGHEST score by a No. 11 in test cricket History.

Fabulous stuff to watch.

Very interesting when Ramdin brought up his ton, he produced a piece of paper from his pocket and held it up to the commentary box. It said " Yeah Viv talk nah ". Obviously not happy with something the great man has said about him.
Meanwhile, Best smashes Bresnan straight back over his head for 6. Now 82* n.o.
