How can we gain an advantage when you speak?

wi bowled better with the new ball than they did in the first two matches althugh they were some real half volleys. lets hope tomorrow there is less free hits and more wickets and tighter bowling

In reply to voiceofreason

I agree. 2 wickets in the first session put us ahead. 3 wickets including Root and Brook and we’re really in business… I see Motie uprooting Roots off stump with one that pitched middle and leg.

Can't you just keep silent till de game dunn!!!

Once WI get fruity Rooty, things gwine look good.

You are on the mark! Root is the big wicket as he has the temperament, skill and loves a bigs core. Get him early and we in the business.

A 5 match series would've made this so much more interesting as WI literally used the first 2 matches as a 3-day & 4-day Warm Up!!!

Those days are sadly long since gone. If you are not a member of the money grabbing cricket elite club, i.e. India, Australia or England, scraps are all that is generally left. I was actually pleasantly surprised to see that this series featured three tests, not the usual two matches. The problem is, with the ridiculous amount of white ball whack-about being played around the globe, it leaves little or no time for warm-ups, preparation etc.

I know some of the commies will say that the best players adapt, to an extent, I agree...but it just is not the same anymore. At Lords, the tourists were thoroughly underprepared and it showed. With Langer & Sammy keeping Shamar on the bench, West Indies also went into the series without not only their leading wicket taker due to injury but also, an unfit strike bowler who has raised expectations and brought excitement back to the cricket for many of us.

Anyway, back to the match...fingers crossed the guys can maintain the early pressure from last night. The first hour today will be crucial and could hold a big say in how the match pans out.

Interesting or more humiliating???....there is no substitute for experience esp in English conditions an a 5 test series would have just heaped more humiliation upon us with our rookie batting line up against top class bowling esp when there is movement but I agree we were severely under prepared an I'm pretty sure the likes of Oz & India would not have accepted such a schedule in fact i doubt if they would have been given such but the likes of Windies..Sri Lanka ..Pakistan an even NZ are not part of the elite an hence have to take whatever they are given!
