231/8 now. Broad gets a five for.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

243/9 at stumps, Chanderpaul 87 not out, they'd be a very weak team without him in the batting line up. Broad with 6 wickets for 72. England will be happy with that, looks a decent wicket to bat on with something for the bowlers who keep a good line and length. Can Chanderrpaul get his century and will the Windies get over 250?? Should be another good day tomorrow with the same overcast weather predicted.

Only the IPL for me at the moment.

 

RCB make 215-1 off 20 overs with Chris Gayle hitting 120.Thats phenomenal.

Delhi made about 195-7 in reply too.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Well that lasted all of one ball, 243 all out, Chanderpaul stranded not out. Broad on a hat trick at the start of the Windies second innings...7 for so far...over to the batsmen.

[Jairzinho]

Good knock that from Gabriel.

 

Well our predictions were predictably correct. They got less than 250, and Chanderpaul the only batsman to get over 50.

 

They're shit and will lose all three tests.

The weather might save them on that, but i think they'll get battered otherwise. They have a half decent bowling attack but it gets erratic and heads fall when wickets don't fall.

On the other hand, lads...

Overcast at Lord's, might be a problem or two if early wickets fall and their raw quickies get their tails up.

Funny game cricket and all that.

OK, OK I know. I'm an Australian.

Shillingford might be a danger and Narine is bowling like a young Shane Warne in the IPL so not selecting him to tour seems a bad move.

Could also easily happen mate, but batting on home turf we have a batting order which is less likely to collapse as in the older days.

Old Mike Gatting looks like he's taken a few Henry VIII pills.

I think he might sniff out the Long Room kitchen well before one o'clock.

I bet when he walks into a restaurant which holds an all you can eat buffet the owners cry.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Strauss looking in good nick.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Cook gone, missed the wicket as i was in the garden having a tab. 48/1.

[Jairzinho]

He underedged it on to his stumps. It skidded through due to Roach's lack of height. Might have been a touch too close to him as well.

Cheers mate, not the best way to get out.

[Jairzinho]

Especially as its usually Cook's best shot.

 

We'll still get 400+ and win by an innings, or very close.

We are looking well set to actually achieving that and the Windies bowlers don#t look like they are capable of holding a steady line and length, pick the bad balls and it should allow us to motor on at a steady pace. One big partnership will probably do for their confidence big style.

[s(k)aturation]

Yes, this is starting to look routine.

[Jairzinho]

Gayle

Sarwan

Bravo

Chanderpaul

Pollard

Bravo

Ramdin

Russell

Taylor

Roach

Narine

 

They'd give us a game.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

This lot look way out of their depth, the only thing that should bother England is the weather and complacency.

[AVEEZ]

I dont like Cricket. Just thought I'd share..

 

Have a nice weekend

 

As you were!

[Jairzinho]

Me neither.
