[Chicken Run]

the west indies site gave the headlines but when i went for more detail it crashed, i only went on the site to get tix info for the 2004 tour

What's their 'current' situation?

 

[eiregull]

ive heard that their bowlers are lightening fast, but that is shocking news, its enough to make your hair stand.

I dont know I'm trying to see if it is on bbc web site

About the most interesting thing that could happen in cricket.

Is it true that some of the punters actually awoke and noticed ?

 

[Chicken Run]

sorry i didnt catch that?

 

[larus]

Did it spark a batting collapse?

Lightening, red stripe! Not what the sponsors wanted I'm sure.

Both players affected (Mervyn Dillon and Windwards fast bowler Fernix Thomas) are OK admitted to hosp as a precaution.
