Cook gone 13 - 2 need Balance and Bell to steady the ship.

Trott

18-3 England rocking!

and a totally wasted review by Bell- that was hitting half way up middle

 

[vegster]

We are shat.

Jesus Wept - this is a 5 Day Test Match, can't someone bat accordingly?

Boycs called that immediately, waste of a review.

Low scoring games are far better in my view, this is very much even steven

 

[BensGrandad]

Our 68 1st innings lead could prove invaluable.

Agreed. Anything approaching 200-220 will make it very interesting

 

[Titanic]

Root gone now. 28-4

96 lead

 

[vegster]

Agreed. Anything approaching 200-220 will make it very interesting

I would favour the Windies to make 200 to win. They have the balls to lift it over the infield and go for it, plus they have the Grinder, Chanderapul to hold up one end.

 

[Titanic]

Streaky 4 for Ali takes England lead to 100.

 

[Beach Hut]

Agreed. Anything approaching 200-220 will make it very interesting

Need a minimum 250 lead in my view

17 wickets on the 2nd day does not make good Test Match cricket.

17 wickets on the 2nd day does not make good Test Match cricket.

Far more entertaining than watching teams bat for two days in my view

 

[Titanic]

Make that 18 and counting.

This is a joke.

 

[Titanic]

Close of day 2

England 39-5

Leading by 107

 

[vegster]

We have lost at this point in time.

Ah well, Day 3 starts shortly and should see this game decided;

The GOOD THING about this series is that Trott must surely now retire from Test Cricket.

I'm frankly struggling to think of any other positives, I have a feeling that both the Kiwis and Convicts will stuff us all Summer long.....

"I'd rather be in the West Indies camp right now, England only 100 ahead, five down. The batsmen were obviously jittery, however, I wouldn't mind being in the England camp because they have the potential to take the bull by the horns, then they'd be in pole position, but right now I'd rather be West Indies."

Could someone please translate this - possible a Colemanballs if they still exist?
