Title: Third test Post by: larwood on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 10:10:26 We've won the toss,batting first.
Could be interesting to see how the Mancunian crowd react to Virgil after the 'Fredlo' saga. Title: Third test Post by: larwood on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 10:16:51 It wasn't too bad a reaction,shame it was tested so bloody soon :-))(
18-1,Strauss out LBW for six. Title: Third test Post by: Give us an S on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 10:26:42 Why are we batting? Im not watching it as im at work, so dont know what the pitch is like or the weather up there but surely if its the same as here the overcast conditions should mean we should bowl first? Its due to get sunnier over the weekend which is when we will then be bowling? :?
Title: Third test Post by: larwood on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 10:47:54 We won't be bowling at the weekend,it'll all be over by then :wink:
It is overcast according to TMS,i think its just because the WI bowling has been so poor that Virgil imagines we'll be able to withstand the onslaught.Hope he's right! Title: Third test Post by: sonic youth on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 14:33:05 165-5
oh dear Title: Third test Post by: larwood on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 14:46:06 Don't worry about it,Harmy after being coached by Alan Donald for a week is going to come good and bowl them out cheaply.
:-))( 167-5 at tea.Wonder how Matt Prior will do now,fairly easy to come in and do well against a team that have been suffering in the field,bit different when they are going well. Title: Third test Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 15:02:21 pathetic! get rid of Struass he is a joke
Title: Third test Post by: larwood on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 15:14:09 He's just going through a loss of form at the moment,admittly its a bit of a long lasting slump,but he does do a hard job in opening the batting he was always going to fail at some point.Don't think he should be dropped,but thats probably just my middlesex bias coming into effect.
Title: Third test Post by: Foggy on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 15:22:57 Strauss has got to stay,You have to have some form of consistant team if you are going to succeed ,its to easy to keep chopping and changing.He is a class batsman and will soon return to form.It will be interesting to see how Harmy and Ryan Sidebottom perform.
Title: Third test Post by: sonic youth on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 15:44:59 calm down rich! he's having a few problems with his confidence and form, they'll return with playing
Title: Third test Post by: STFC_Manc on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 15:47:30 We are doing slighly better now, 201-5. Isnt Struass the vice captian as well now? So he can not be dropped that easy.
Title: Third test Post by: larwood on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 15:57:52 Are you going to the test match Manc?
Title: Third test Post by: STFC_Manc on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 16:53:06 I have not decided yet. I would love to go, but not sure I can be bothered!! Depends if I can get any friends to go!
Title: Third test Post by: Give us an S on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 17:41:22 This will be the true test for Sidebottom. I hope he does well.
Title: Third test Post by: ronnie21 on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 18:52:47 A bit of pace and we didn't seem to like it up us!
Title: Third test Post by: sonic youth on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 20:09:59 fiddy's got a weird action, i blame him. cheat.
Title: Third test Post by: Scot Munroe on Thursday, June 7, 2007, 20:54:05 Quote from: "sonic youth" fiddy's got a weird action, i blame him. cheat. But James he is fucking quick though. The action is legal. Wait to harmy bowls. it'll be either like brisbane or like Old trafford last year. Title: Third test Post by: Foggy on Friday, June 8, 2007, 12:45:28 Harmison is bowling like a cunt again
Title: Third test Post by: STFC_Manc on Friday, June 8, 2007, 16:42:42 225 - 9 now, doing a lot better. Monty is bowling well!
Title: Third test Post by: sonic youth on Friday, June 8, 2007, 16:44:33 all out.
this isn't a test. Title: Third test Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Friday, June 8, 2007, 16:56:53 Quote from: "Foggy" Harmison is bowling like a cunt again I don't really rate him Title: Third test Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Friday, June 8, 2007, 16:59:44 1-1 England, Strauss gone

Title: Third test Post by: lebowski on Saturday, June 9, 2007, 12:02:47 my god, some of the west indies fielding makes monty panesar look like andrew symonds.

Title: Third test Post by: Scot Munroe on Saturday, June 9, 2007, 13:27:57 179-2. Chanderpaul is bowling his dobly Leg spinners.
Title: Third test Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, June 9, 2007, 14:01:08 christ, i don't think this lot could even catch an std off a whore
Title: Third test Post by: lebowski on Saturday, June 9, 2007, 14:37:10 kp out after a short ball hit his helmet, knocked it off and onto his stumps.
that was probably the only way they were going to take a wicket. Title: Third test Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, June 9, 2007, 15:59:10 when it rains, it pours
Title: Third test Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Saturday, June 9, 2007, 16:48:39 The Windies fielding was very poor, the worst I have seen for some time. However I do not think they will get 456 with the bat
Title: Third test Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Saturday, June 9, 2007, 16:54:16 Ganga gone
Title: Third test Post by: Stef Troll on Sunday, June 10, 2007, 16:41:06 282-5 the Windies need another 173 to win
Title: Third test Post by: Scot Munroe on Sunday, June 10, 2007, 17:34:18 Viv Richards on TMS Yesterday about Dumplings so funny. Tomorrow going to be tense. If we get Ramdin out cheaply and get into the tail it will be over soon.
Title: Third test Post by: larwood on Sunday, June 10, 2007, 18:43:43 Could be an interesting day,i'm a bit worried tbh,but then i always tend to be where England are concerned.
Title: Third test Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, June 10, 2007, 18:54:41 FFS how shit are we? we can't even polish off this bunch of muppets! pathetic! just think. if Sarwan was playing they would have probably won this game by now :-))(
Title: Third test Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Sunday, June 10, 2007, 19:25:44 That drop by Monty could prove costly, if they get to needed less than 100 with onyl 5 down it could be interesting.
I predict England to win by 40odd runs Title: Third test Post by: sonic youth on Sunday, June 10, 2007, 19:44:59 Quote from: "Rich" FFS how shit are we? we can't even polish off this bunch of muppets! pathetic! just think. if Sarwan was playing they would have probably won this game by now :-))( fucking hell calm down rich, you'll give yourself an aneurysm. once chanderpaul is out, we'll skittle them.

Title: Third test Post by: larwood on Monday, June 11, 2007, 12:03:17 Great century by Chanderpaul,got to admire the way he's stuck it out.We should still do it though.

Title: Third test Post by: Northern Red on Monday, June 11, 2007, 12:49:50 "Monty then drops one a fraction shorter, and the ball pings off the pitch like a flea off a trampoline and sails clean over the batsman's head.

Monty bowled a bouncer...That's one springy pitch!

Title: Third test Post by: sonic youth on Monday, June 11, 2007, 13:05:49 the windies have played fucking well.
monty, sidebottom and even harmison have bowled pretty well. ...collymore's out, so that's the job done :nod: Title: Third test Post by: STFC Village on Monday, June 11, 2007, 13:14:14 :\/
