West Indies v England, 1st Test, Kingston, Feb 4-8

Just get up for a wee. That usually helps.

Harmison: 79 wickets @ 38 since the end of the 2005 Ashes.

England get them five down and then decide to prove they're utter shit again. Bowling Harmison and Panesar doesn't help, because they both are utter shit. It has taken over an hour for Strauss to get our best bowler today back in the attack. I mean...shittest bowler.

Augustus,

Why are you always so frustrated?

I'm only ever frustrated when ENGLAND are playing a Test Match, not at any other point. I want and expect them to be doing better.

Since the beginning of the 2006 Ashes (Dec 2006 to Feb 2009)


Sidebottom: 18 matches, 76 wickets @ 25
Panesar: 26 matches, 88 wickets @ 34
Hoggard: 8 matches, 24 wickets @ 34
Flintoff: 11 matches, 29 wickets @ 37
Broad: 10 matches, 26 wickets @ 45
Harmison: 15 matches, 28 wickets @ 46

That's impressive...

ok.

but WI are quite an underrated side these days.

Xavier Marshall 0

Ryan Hinds 134, following a 240 two weeks ago. I hope the selectors wake up soon.

Just one major piece of crapness you missed out - Anderson, 66 wickets @ 34.

Tremlett is the only bowler other than Sidebottom to take his wickets at (a fraction) under 30 in that time! And Collingwood's average is barely worse than most of the specialists, that says it all really.

That 9 batsman team someone posted yesterday suddenly doesn't look such a bad option...

Oh yeah, I forgot Jimmy even existed - like a repressed memory or something.

It really is the proverbial shower of shite.

MSP finally gets a wicket

Anyone would think he's bowling on a spinning deck or something.

1/98 off 39 overs.

And Monty finally gets a wicket! An event not witnessed since roughly the last time we had snowfall on the scale of this week I believe...

We need that Troy Cooley back ASAP. Pay him more than the entire IPL if that's what it takes!

Dazzler

Well, his (Cooley's) employment with CA has coincided with the shittening of the Australian pace attack, so maybe he's not the Messiah after all...

Well maybe he's working as an undercover agent for us, much as Kevin Shite was for them before the previous Ashes!

Lots of spin and bounce for MSP now


Sidebottom looks a bit short on pace...

We're not in on the plan then, as Shite is still employed by the ECb and crappening young English bowlers at all levels.

Nash reminds me of Asim Kamal.

Congratulations to Panesar on taking a wicket before bringing the hundred up.

So, what's a match-winning first-innings lead for the Windies?

13 at the moment.

yep thats what sidebottom deserved...smacked over mid off's head for 4


I remember him bowling at around 138-140 KPH so then whats up with this 75 mph rubbish?

.

i don't know

It's a slow pitch. Harmison is only bowling in the 80s too isn't he?

Don't seamers usually, supposedly, cut down on pace to concentrate on accuracy when it's a slow pitch?
