Fourth Test Thread (WI vs Eng, Barbados)

[SpookyFrank]

600 = 400 to avoid the follow on

And hopefully we'd be able to put them back in this time, assuming the weather doesn't kill our bowlers again

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Should be 121-2 here.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

And finally,its given.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

159-3

Hinds out for 15

 

[Santino]

Looks like hard work out there.

Sarwan is having an absolute golden period, heading for this third century in three Tests. (I wonder if the abandoned game will ruin that record.)

I think it does count technically.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Chanderpaul seems his old self again, worse luck

 

[mrsfran]

Why are the WI crowd booing?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Typical Chanderpaul

knew this would happen

Yep, it counts as a Test, all one and a half overs of it

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Makes perfect sense.

 

[embree]

well it does really, Strauss would be hopping mad about losing the not out if it were struck from the records. It happened, just not for very long

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Should be 281-4!!!!!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Yup,chanderpaul is out.

 

[embree]

four lbws out of four

 

[mrsfran]

A dull, dull day of cricket.

 

[embree]

odds on Trinidad being as flat as a pancake as well anyone?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

334-5 it is!!!!

 

[embree]

five out of five leg before

cricinfo reckon it was a ludicrous decision, the referral umpire can only change the on-field umpire's decision if there's conclusive evidence that he was wrong. Apparently there wasn't.

What a shit system

yeah, and also the third umpire doesn't use the hawkeye predictor thing, so its even more stupid.

 

[embree]

he don't use it because it's not reliable. It's a TV gimmick, nothing more. He can only reverse the umpire's decision if it was clearly outside the line of off stump/pitched outside leg/whatever (or the reverse depending on whether it was out or not out).

 

[Dirty Martini]

A dull, dull day of cricket.

It's been great

 

[agricola]

Sarwan reaches 250, magnificent innings even with the rubbish attack and friendly wicket.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Its just getting ridiculous now.

 

[Santino]

We've put Time Team on.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

703-8 hahaha

 

[Santino]

England are going to have to work to save the match. Couple of tricky hours batting tomorrow.

 

[agricola]

Swann rewards everyone still watching on Sky with a loud "FUCKIN HELL SID" as Sidebottom fails to even attempt to catch a skier from Ramdin.

Ramdin gets his 150 shortly afterwards.

 

[kabbes]

To declare on 600-6 and end up losing would truly be an Epic Fail.

 

[mrsfran]

It's been great

Still great?
