Northants 32/0 after 2 overs in reply to 260

If the Test match is boring you then pop 121 on.

Sadly I have to be up at 5am for work so I'm turning in.
Enjoy the blast mate.

[Randall]

Might seem harsh but 136 for root seems like a failure.

I'd forgotten all about ramprakash.
He was fucking useless.

Played for Surrey and Middlesex which guaranteed him a few gigs.

Made one century in the west indies as I recall but fuck all else.
You will remember the hick s hype as well?
The 405 not out in 88 was it?
He was shit as well.

Hick=African, no way should he have ever have worn the England shirt in my opinion.

Hick was a flat track bully, would take apart weak attacks but always found out against better opposition

Curtly had him on a plate.

[M H]

Only question today is do England declare and have an hour with the ball under the lights?

[Randall]

Cook could break laras record if he wanted too.

[Randall]

Windies all out by the close?

[M H]

If the rain keeps away England bowlers will have a feast

[Randall]

Tough lines at the t20.
Run out without facing a ball

[Randall]

Lovely work on the stumping.
Can love or loathe this format but it's driven fielding to née heights.

[M H]

Windies lost two more already. At this rate they'll be following on under the lights

[Randall]

Action should be taken against the windies board.
Sending the reserves for crickets premier format is outrageous.

[M H]

The Windies board is potless and can't pay what the first eleven want. They actually lose money playing tests

[Randall]

This is a shambles though.

[Randall]

Oh look a bouncer. Don't think the west indies bowled one that I saw.

[Randall]

Hardly any spin. The guy is just playing the wrong line.
Down the other end, how a west Indian can be so inept against the short ball is beyond me. Ain't like it's Dennis lillee bowling.

[M H]

The pitches there are polar opposite to when they ruled the cricket world. Now the majority of wickets are taken by spin whereas back in the day over 80% were taken by pace

[Randall]

Could drive a bus through there.
