England v WI 1st Test match

[King]

How many of you are looking forward to this one? I don't see much contest between WI v England. I think England is ahead of WI despite their 5-0 loss in the Ashes. Wonder who's in the team for England? I hope it is not raining already. It does help the bowlers quite a bit early summer in UK. Looking forward to this test match too. I hope it is a closely contested one (I don't reckon it will be).

Yes, it is raining already. Yes, it is raining already. interestingly, flintoff is not fot to play this match.

Can you guys try posting Can you guys try posting another message or two. I wonder why this thread isn't showing any replies. BTW the game has started and England are batting first. Freddi of course is not playing. Good to see Cook playing, he is a good prospect.

Strauss hit two fours in a Strauss hit two fours in a row, England now 21-0. That's quite a good start. The conditions are helping the bowlers.

Re: England v WI 1st Test match No wicket loss by lunch, England doing pretty well here. WI bowlers were pretty much all over the place. They were at times unlucky but they bowled a lot of four balls.

Re: England v WI 1st Test match good start by Poms. The edge off of Cook should have been taken, but Gayle was a foot too deep. Sarwan looked inconspicuous.

Re: England v WI 1st Test match Cook and England off to a flier (in test match terms). WI already have a deep mid wicket for Cook :?

Re: 2 down now.. powell strikes.. owaish shah failz.. gives a sitter on slipz..

Re: England v WI 1st Test match Cook is on his merry way though, he isn't holding back. I quite like to watch him, he bats a bit like Fleming.

Re: England v WI 1st Test match Shah is a useless batsman. Watching him in the Bombay test I felt like banging my head on the wall repeatedly with emotions running from anger to despair at the Indian bowling for not being able to get such a batsman out.

Re: yep hez a good batsman.. he was showing some gutzy batting of his during ashes also, but failed to stand in the middle for a longer period.... gr8 talent, and played well in India too.. gr8 find for England..
