1st Test: West Indies v England

[Dexter]

Ugh.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Should have had the slip closer on this pitch, poor coaching

 

[Mainze]

The pitch has been pap for a 5th day of a test.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

I think thats out...

 

[ollie c]

I think thats out...

It had a lot going for it. The snag was that the gap between bat and ball was visible from space.

 

[Dexter]

Canny shot with two overs and three wickets left.

 

[The Omega Man]

Holder has played well. Fair play to him.

 

[Dexter]

Well batted young man, now get out.

 

[SAFC 2012]

Class

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Well played lad.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Holder's a beast. Was impressed with him at the World Cup too - cool, calm and collected.

 

[The Omega Man]

Class

Superb knock.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Too easy

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Highest previous first class score was 52

 

[Bri]

Well done Holder...... that lad's got something about him.

 

[Ch1982]

Tougher nut to crack than previous windies teams, be doing well to win the series by more than one test.

 

[TopCat]

Dammit

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Enjoyed that test.

After a World Cup that was shit for England, and just belting it everywhere for everyone else, its nice to have some proper cricket back

 

[The Omega Man]

Windies dug in and probably deserve that.

 

[smoker]

Tougher nut to crack than previous windies teams, be doing well to win the series by more than one test.

Nah.

Dead pitch coupled with a one dimensional England attack helped make them look good.
