Playing Monty ahead of Anderson on a damp pitch?  :?


well if you take a leaf out of the aussies books you should always play a spinner no matter what the conditions are like. the ball could turn like anything on days 4 and 5


But it won't even get to day 4 and 5 at this rate.


With the rain it will

I hope there's some play tomorrow afternoon when I get home.

If we go into this with the right attitude then I see no reason why we can't whitewash 'em.


Thats the attitude that could hurt us- we've been as shit as them for nearly a year!


they've not won a series away from home - apart from bangladesh an zimbabwe - in their last thirteen attempts. I'd say they're some decent odds

 The only other time in test history that England had 4 centurions, was v Australia at Trent Bridge in 1938.   Charlie Barnett 126....Len Hutton 100...Eddie Paynter..216 and Dennis Compton 102.

  Compton was at 20 years 19 days England's youngest century maker a record I believe he still holds.

 If only the Hun had understood cricket, then events may have prevented a 10 year wait for the next home Ashes series.

Super stuff this afternoon, pure entertainment watching Prior and Bell this evening trying to cream every ball.

Brilliant from Prior,  but Jones came in with a bang too, lets hope MP can keep it up.

Windies are much, much worse than I thought.
