How are they allowed to field in those massive finger bandages? It drives me mad. 

[Captain Howdy]

Not really important but that’s just about the worst review I think I’ve ever seen, notwithstanding the three miles it pitched outside I would have loved to have seen how high it was.

Was just going to say, it was about a yard outside leg stump and was clearly too high anyway.

[Jairzinho]

Who dropped Stokes?

 

Whoever it is shouldn't play the last test. Fucking abysmal that was. You'd take the piss out of a club cricketer if they dropped that.

[sir roger]

Unless Ben's todger is past his knees it was always looking a tad doubtful wasnt it ?

[Jairzinho]

Just a way of time wasting presumably.

Campbell, truly lamentable stuff

[Mudface]

Another one. Ridiculous.

[Trumo]

Root finally declares and sets the Windies a target of 312 to win.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Windies lacklustre this morning and just looking to waste time, I wonder how many injuries they'll claim to have in their innings? Set up for an interesting day now, Stokes is in a different class under such scenarios. Hopefully a few early wickets with the new ball and the Windies will shit themselves. Perfect day for bowling if they get their line and length right and keep it in the corridor. 

[Manny]

Thought the reviews were time-wasting but they'll play the full complement of overs unless weather or bad light intervenes, so minutes aren't a particularly large factor.

 

Reckon Holder reviewed one of them just so Stokes could watch himself get hit in the bollocks repeatedly in slow motion. Mind games and that.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Just the start we wanted, close review but a good one, not a great morning for Campbell.

Scored 16 in two innings with the bat.

 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Huge wicket, Woakes trapping Bratwaite plumb. 

[Jairzinho]

Game over.

He didn't do well in the first test either, 27, 8 if memory serves me right. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Windies losing 'Hope' in more ways than one, massive ask for them to save this test now. 

[Jairzinho]

Doubt they'll get to tea.

 

Been utter shite this game. The fielding especially has been an embarrassment. 

 

What an absolute waste of the performance in the first game.

[Jairzinho]

Done well these two.

[mgw100]

A good battle this. England have bowled pretty well but Windies are standing firm. Could go either way.

32 overs to get four wickets, we really should be winning this.

[Captain Turdseye]

These overs are disappearing quickly. Hopefully we can knock them over for the good of the series.

Dead pitch, soft ball, resolute/competent pair of batters. Bowlers must be tired also given short 3rd innings. 

 

I reckon we are three to one on.

You can all thank me for that wicket

[Captain Turdseye]

Surely that’s it now.
