Well i'm hardly surprised. We must have had an hour to get that wicket but we bottled it. Pathetic stuff again. No doubt Flintoff's injury will be the excuse. Series gone now.

I've never even really followed cricket and don't claim to really get it, yet he's still managing to piss me off somehow.
You might get an exchange though, if bart starts posting regularly again I might banish him to the cricket section.

Haha, superb.
Think Straussy should probably have told the bowlers to suck it up and enforced the follow on tbh.

i was surprised he didnt take the follow on, but you have to applaud the windies backs to the wall batting. Fair play to them. Strauss looked totally gutted.

I'm not completely up on my cricket, but at the time i remember moaning that we should have declared earlier... would this have helped?

not seen the last two days as i've been away but it does strike me as though strauss may have left both declarations a little late, particularly in the second innings and didn't give the bowlers enough time to bowl the windies out. to be fair, you can't blame anyone for harmison and flintoff only being able to bowl short periods due to unforeseen illness/injury.
i think we've seen the last of monty for a while. shame shah didn't cash in, this test was his big chance.

In India we left what seemed a reasonable declaration and got blown away..OK WI are not as good as India, but the world record run chase was achieved on this ground by the WI....hence the caution. The one obvious mistake was sending in Jimmy A as a nightwatchman on Tues evening...he hung about for an hour next day when we needed quick runs. |
