'Rice & Peas v Knobbly Knees' Options

[Bluerain]

I can see Strauss introducing Monty into the attack fairly soon before Gayle and Sarwan get nice and cozy with the fare being offered by Harmy and Broad?

Mmmmmmmmmm Stuart Broad! Almost worth watching cricket for

[lobster]

And Ramnaresh Sarwan goes playing on a Flintoff delivery onto his own stumps leaving the Windies on 235/4 trailing by a mere 83 runs.

At the crease now is Brendan Nash who to my knowledge is the first white man to play for the West Indies? Perhaps Sid or Davekergoogle could fill in the blanks loike? Also Strauss has showed his inexperience by blowing all our referalls already? He wasted the last one on a Monty delivery that pitched about 10 miles outside the off stump turned and hit Sarwans pad, only a buffoon would have given it out, but he was too busy trying to decide who to play at right back against Burnley?

If only Chanderpaul wasn't in bat I'd feel like we're doing alright.

Not sure about Nash, Lobster, but I know his dad was a Jamaican swimmer. Alas, radio 4, and not google...

[lobster]

Chanderpaul leaves us for a palrty 20 runs and uses up a Windies referal to boot?

Apparently Nash's dad the Jamaican swimmer specialised in the laid-back stroke?

All credit to England for keeping the run rate well down ,if they have gone at three plus an over we would have allready been well over 100 odd behind and facing a sticky last two days,odds on a draw now unless we collapse drastically in the second innings.

Yet another soft dismissal for our man, Bell. You've had enough chances, Ian, but now it's curtains, I'm afraid.

[lobster]

now it's curtains, I'm afraid.

Especially if we draw?

Perhaps Belly is batting out of position? He is a beautiful batsman when he gets going but he seems to be putting a lot of pressure on himself, perhaps if he dropped down to four or five he might regain some of that flair and confidence?

12 for 3 now Pietersen getting clean bowled by a ball that swinged ever-so slightly and pitched up? We're in trouble, now we need Captain Strauss to lead by example and steady the ship....And in comes Collingwood

[davekermito]

20 for 4.

Oh dear.

[lobster]

23 for 5

The pub is a calling methunks?

[davekermito]

What odds on an innings defeat this morning?!

Unberuddyleivable.

At least one Jerome has done well today. 4/11 current figures.

[davekermito]

23 for 6.

Jerome Taylor 5/11

[lobster]

You would have been laughed out of Ladbrokes, cackled out of Corals and whooped out of William Hills.

23 for 6...

[davekermito]

26 for 7
