England vs West Indies @ Old Trafford - Final Day

[CHAPPERS]

A very interesting day in prospect with the Raggae Boyz 226 runs ahead with one solitary wicket remaining. That last wicket should be lost very early on leaving England a target on 230-240. I would imagine this is well within our limits but the West Indian bowling is looking far more dangerous of late and a couple of early wickets could shake things up a bit.


Could Freddy be the home town hero??

Windies all out for 165...

England need 231 to win...

 

[CHAPPERS]

Wish I was at home.

 

[Trigger]

Thorpe isn't going to bat either, broken finger.

Oh yes he is... Make up ya mind Richie, FFS!

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Looks like I'm not getting any sleep tonight

 

[CHAPPERS]

Thorpe out of the Oval test.

Just realised, I'll be there on Friday!!

Schweeeeeeeeeeeeet

Look out for the stripes innit.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Doesn't look like Tresco will last long

1050: Edwards begins from the Statham End, tying Trescothick in knots with his first few deliveries. The left-hander gets off a pair with a toe-end just past a leaping gully for four.


Thorpe to bat but only in emergency.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Seemingly if England are to win it, they will have to get a record 4th innings score at Old Trafford.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yeah, but that record is only 145 and we've gone passed 280 twice this summer accoring to the BBC.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Yeah, but that record is only 145 and we've gone passed 280 twice this summer accoring to the BBC.

I know, but it will be a good test to see how good this team really is.

Trescothick out, bowled all over the shop

 

[Seagull over NZ]

Todays the day when we need Thorpe - gritty, determined etc so will anyone else step up and be counted. Personally I don't think Vaughan and Key have got the stomach for a battle but I'll be prepared to be proved wrong.

Strauss however looks to have that steel we need. Trescothick was never going to have it.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Trescothick needs a rest. He's a f***ing liability at the moment, Vaughan and Struass should be opening this order.

 

[Trigger]

f*** me, 27/2 Strauss gone.

 

[n1 gull]

That was a rubbish shot to play, what was he thinking?

 

[CHAPPERS]

f*** SAKE.

Chappers - Where are your seats for Friday? We are in the Surridge Stand about 6 rows back i think (cant remember exactly)

I cannot see us winning today batting on day 5 on an already worn out Old Trafford Pitch.

If they had Warne or Murali we would be all out under 100

 

[CHAPPERS]

I'm not sure, we're normally in the Peter May enclosure but i think we might be over in the Surridge Stand this year.

 

[Gwylan]

Personally I don't think Vaughan and Key have got the stomach for a battle but I'll be prepared to be proved wrong.

If anyone's got the stomach for a battle, it's surely Key.

The Pieman's looking good at the moment.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Apparently i'm in the 40 quid seats in the jardine stand or the fender stand.

Behind the bowlers arm. RESULT!
