50 for Strauss

Just come on here to write 'I wonder if Strauss will beat his previous best of 177 today'.......


Evidently not!! Out for 142.

England 263-3

Shah finally manages to run himself out.

May I applaud you on that post!

It's awful this. Not entertaining at all.

We need a general cricket thread!!! There is always something going on somewhere in the world.....


Where for example can I write, what a fantastic innings from the little master yesterday. 163 from 133 balls in a whopping total of 392-4. In fairness to New Zealand they gave it a good go, getting 334 themselves




726 runs in 95 overs. That's 7.6 an over. Cracking entertainment.

Its times like this when you start to think the crooked Texan had a point.

I wish someone would tell Monty to stop appealing when the ball gets within a foot of the bat or gloves.I could understand if they were all close but some were nowhere near to being out.

Indeed.

ON another note.

Amjad Khan. Why? Harmison could have bowled as much crap as he has.

I had two immediate observations.

1) Extremely nervous
2) Not only an ungainly, ugly action, but a slightly suspicious one too.

I'd be well miffed me if I'd forked out to go there and watch this out. Battered in Jamaica, farce in Antigua and two crappy flat pitches too finish off.

100 for Nash.

absolutely. Especially as, if you were considering following England away at considerable expense, you'd think 'ah the west indies - good weather and a good chance of a win into the bargain'

Ridiculous decision after referral there

Oi, get some f**king work done you.

Referrals are not the future in the this game. As my learned friend says that was ridiculous.

He was out, a guilty man always looks back to see if the ball had been caught. It's natural.

Finished at 4pm today mate, done my (admittedly minor) bit for the cause.

only way to enjoy this - i put money on the draw
every dot ball is a step in right direction

This must have been the most boring test match series I can remember,it's no wonder it's only the english that turn up to watch TM'S anymore when these are the type of pitches that teams are made to play on these days.

Strauss is a cheating c*nt. He's knocked the case off this. Everyone in the ground has heard it apart from the umpire.

Eng 27/2.

Here we go again..?

Oh dear, this could go tits up rather quickly. 2 down already.

I love to watch KP with a free reign like this. There is nobody better

Shah's done well, Bopara must be impressed

The Referal System is an absolute joke, the third umpire just said he did not hear a sound, result out ????. It is turning the game into a farce.

I don't see the point to it, Surely if he doesn't hear a noise its not out is it? He should tell the on field umpire there was no noise and its not out not that there is no noise so its up to you
