Erm, you on the bong, Merls? It were a full leg-cutter that beat the outside edge of his bat (as KP tried to whip it through midwicket) and cartwheeled his off-stump. It was full, pitched, cut away, beat outside edge and banged into off stump as KP tried to work it away to leg.

Oi must've been rat arsed then skulls ... are you sure mate?
So who copped Taylor's full length late inswinger ...
Didn't record the highlights ...(obvious reasons) ...bugger!

Colly got knocked over by a Taylor inswinger. Clipped his leg stump and Colly ran 2 before realising he had been bowled. Taylor also hooped one into Freddy that bounded off his pads into his stumps.

Merls in no farkin idea shocker . . .

Hehe, taccy the snowplougher.

Tac the Sapporo Speedster?

IMO the best delivery Taylor bowled was the outrageous off cutter that got Prior. I have never seen a fast bowler get quite so much rotation on the ball.

That was amazing stuff.

Hey there WIFAN, congratulations on your amazing win.

Pretty f*ckin amazing. The scenes across the Caribbean, Sabina Park, must be pretty special?

GO WINDIES!! I fell asleep with the TV on after the 6th wicket fell. FFS.

Chris Gayle - Legend. The side's on the way up big time after he took on the captaincy. Only need someone better than Powell as the third pacer and they are a seriously good side. Samuels - what an idiot, he'd have really strengthened the side. Benn has real bite. The ball turns a lot and his height ensures bounce. He just could be the long term answer as far as spin is concerned. Taylor was brilliant, KP and Collingwood were beaten for sheer pace.'

England really need better batsmen to support KP. FWIW, I'd persist with Cook.

I wish I had been at Sabina, it really was rocking. Sabina is the loudest of the Caribbean grounds IMHO, and they really get behind the home team.

You sir are an idiot

I second that motion.

3rded!

Always great to see the Aussies and the English lose, but the way WI were under-estimated by forummers, reading through the threads, this makes me enjoy the victory even more.

WI need to win the series.

I'm torn, on the one hand I don't like to see England losing a test series but would I rather they lost and the deadwood got dropped or would I rather they win with a couple of career saving 50s from Bell et al?

Tough one, but as it's the WINDIES I think I'd like them to win the series as I reckon it would be for the greater good of English cricket. I have a soft spot for the WINDIES so if we were going to lose to anyone I'd like it to be them.

Ange - no, but did so a few years back at Lech/Galtuer.
Not nice.

Bollo.

Plenty of forummers said how the windies had improved but don't let that stop you having a whinge and making it up.

I reckon WI are a better test side than Pakistan.

This series might just prove that point.
