Windies Cricket
the cricket's back on...
plenty to talk about (other than the rather dangerous assumption that we should beat them without breaking sweat)
Trott's return
Peterson scoring 170-odd on his county return (OK - against a uni side!)
potential reorganisation of english cricket
will cook start scoring again..
anyway - all kicks off this arvo...

Get Pietersen back in. This is like when 4ucknugget McClaren dropped Beckham.

Re: Windies Cricket
Good recovery at 202-3 with Bell and Root currently in the middle, on 80 and 83 respectively. The Windies not proving to be the stiffest opposition currently, it has to be said..

Re: Windies Cricket
Which soon became 211-4. Still, a decent recovery from 34-3

Re: Windies Cricket
so - all out for 399 - mustn't grumble as we were once 34-3 - but last 5 wickets for 58 runs? meh!
Re: Windies Cricket
so that's 2 down - 6 to go - and anderson equals the English test wicket-taking record...

Re: Windies Cricket
He has, in terms of wickets taken and well done to him for that. However, what I'd love to know is how many balls it took Botham vs how many it took Anderson, and the average runs per wicket of each.thebish wrote:and anderson equals the English test wicket-taking record...

dunno about that - I assumed he'd played a shedload more tests - but not so...
anderson has done it in 100 tests as opposed to Botham doing it in 102...

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Windies Cricket
I look forward to Anderson catching Botham up in the batting department too.

Re: Windies Cricket
windies clinging on stubbornly here...
we lack the guile?/variety? to blow sides away when we need to...
just 30 or so overs to go and 4 wickets to snag...

Re: Windies Cricket
299 all out for them. A decent-ish recovery from 129 - 5.
Cook currently on 38, Trott on 34. Come on you pair of pillocks, a ton off of each of you.

Re: Windies Cricket
373-6 is pretty good going. Joe Root is one gem.
