Second Test - England v West Indies

[Billy Rocket]

Aye as good as it is not to see the West Indies rolling over this is really poor from us.

Let's make no mistake about it, the Aussies are going to abuse us.

They're underacheiving too though. It could be a series between two inconsistent teams with home advantage deciding it.

Get that bloke from Durham called up who is scoring a few runs

 

[Bri]

We haven't got the batters. That simple.

Actually we scored enough ..... problem turned out to be getting wickets.

 

[Scotty 1978]

Well played The Windies

 

[TheRey]

What a remarkable Test match.
Well done to Root on the Declaration, well done to the Windies on the victory.
Test cricket the winner here.

 

[BIG BAZ]

fair play to the Windies...neeone including me gave them a chance today and they've batted superbly...cant wait for Lords now

Eh? Our first innings? On a batting wicket?

And imagine if the Widneys had held the odd catch.

Anyhoo well done the Widneys.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Anyhoo well done the Widneys.

That was the key for me and the bowling was poor there.

Well said.

 

[Sweeper]

Well played the Windies. You can only beat what's in front of you - it shouldn't be held against them that England are piss poor.

This is why I love test match cricket.

 

[Mainze]

Embarrassing for England.

@johnson I mean @DaveAngel sort this bloke out will ya!

Just enjoy the fact it was a great Test match.
I wouldn't have declared but he tried to win. We didn't because we bowled poorly and dropped 7 catches.
Windies also rode their luck at times., particularly in their first innings.
Test cricket is dying, this is good for the game. A boring 5th day wouldn't have been.

We'll win at Lord's.

 

[Sweeper]

Well done to Root on the Declaration, well done to the Windies on the victory.

Great game. Root shouldn't get any stick for the declaration - he got that exactly right. He couldn't have foreseen what would pan out.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Embarrassing defeat for England cricket. Lack of respect for county red ball cricket by the ECB biting them on the arse.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Game was lost first day after a piss poor batting performance

 

[Ageing trundler]

England are either very good or very bad but it's never dull.

 

[Silly Point]

What must the saffers be thinking? Losing 3-1 to this lot

 

[Sweeper]

Cricket needs a decent Windies side. Hopefully this is the catalyst for a recovery in their fortunes; although it will still be a long road.
