England need another bowling cover .. joy

Doesn't look like england will need cover - return flights yes

Only reading the ball-by-ball updates so can anyone watching tell if Bishoo is as good as his figures or are England making a decent leggie look like a world beater as usual.

Pitch is turning, but he's no Warne if thats what you mean.

Still plenty of overs to go. Could reach 250.

ringo747 · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:17

Another gone. They haven't a chance of defending anything under 200 I don't think. They probably won't even get that length.

Sankari · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:18

Ah, that's not a promising development. Bopara tries to squirdle off the leg, but Russell has his eye in.

Alpherah · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:19

3 bowled to short balls with no seam movement is poor by anyones standards .

WIndies are blowing wickets out the ground today!

McBain · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:23

Wheels well and truly off here.

elmuzzy66. · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:32

England deserve to come home. THey have done everything wrong.

Alpherah · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:44

In all my pessimism, Windies seem to of turned off here.
Might be a chance after all.

McBain · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:46

This Wicket keeper is getting on my **** now... it was amusing at first, but every ball "boowwwliiinng boiii boowwwwwliing boi"

Alpherah · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:51

Run out lol

Yas786 · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:51

That was absolutely lolworthy from England...192-7....this is going to be one good game by the looks of it...absolutely lolworthy stuff from good ole England

.

At least its Wright thats still in there...Bresnan and Wright should be able to get some much needed runs on the board.

Just got to hope we can keep ticking over and not lose any more daft wickets.
Bresnan, Swann and Wright are capable (!) of getting a chuck of quick runs at the end but we literally have no room to breathe now, no mistakes.

Yas786 · 17 Mar 2011 at 11:58

202-7 off 41 overs....should make at least 250 England...i think the Windies will struggle a bit on this wicket depending on how well England bowl...is Anderson bowling or has hee been dropped because hes been atrocious tbqh.

Dropped for Tremlett.

Our 'attack' looks like
Tremlett
Bresnan
Swann
Tredwell

with 10 overs needed from Trott, Bopara and Wright

Expect Swann and Tremlett to be our 'strike' bowlers.
Bresnan to be change paceman / go to if it reverses.
And Tredwell / Part timers in the middle overs .. with a scattering of Bresnan before ball change.

Hmmm interesting bowling attack....Wright is batting well...on his way to a half century...Windies have been pretty bad bowling wise in the past few overs....seems like they have gone off the boil....made me lol when one of the commentators said that Gayle looks like hes on a beach somewhere lol...

England clawing their way back into the game. Windies won't beat a score of 250+ so Poms will be safe if their tail wags hard enough.

Its about time .. our middle / lower middle order has been terrible in ODI for a long time.
