Imagine if one of us went through a run like he did.. the number of form topics saying "feel like quiting" haha

As a cricketer its nice to see Cook getting some runs..
Poor fellow!

[Byo]

reminds me of that old spitting image song ..." ive never met......"

Ha I'm old enough to remember that. Not doing his compatriots any favours is he!

Jimmy 5fer

His 2nd against the West Indies and his 17th in tests.
Not bad considering he's a clubbie (with a world class sub 30 bowling average...)

Windies 178-9, trailing England by 79.

Gary Ballance was injured earlier in the day (and hasn't been on the field since) so I'm not sure who will bat at 3.
Lyth has finally made a contribution to the test side though, a catch as sub fielder.


On a different not I've really enjoyed Tino Best's commentary on TMS

[Gerry SA]

Clubman has now equaled Steyn on 396 Test wickets.

Clubbie has a ordinary average of 29.20, whereas Steyn averages 22.54.

Clubbie has taken 102 Tests, Steyn a mere 78.

Levels.

[WalkingWicket37]

Excellent catch by Moeen off Jimmy's blowing ends it, 6-42 for him.

Blackwood the last man out for 85, the only West Indies player to apply them self with the bat (until he threw it way with a rash shot).

England 257 all out
West Indies 189 all out trail by 68 runs

The better stat Gerry is that it has taken Jimmy 1000 more overs to get the Wickets.

1000 more overs

The better stat Gerry is that it has taken Jimmy 1000 more overs to get the Wickets.

1000 more overs

If they'd played the same amount of cricket Steyn would be on 500+ wickets.

[Buzz]

Steyn may also be totally broken.
Anderson's longevity is extraordinary.

[Seniorplayer]

Is Anderson the best opening bowler and out fielder in the history of the game ?.

[csnew]

Don't see trott playing for England again. Another failure

[WalkingWicket37]

Trott out LBW for 9. Gutted he didn't get a big score, but he shouldn't have been selected as an opener 
Was that his last test innings?
He ends the series with 72 runs at an average of 12 in the series (with a top score of 59) and a career average of 44

[WalkingWicket37]

Cook gone too, England 13-2

Windies fighting back

[csnew]

Cook gone too!  Some ball that from Gabriel

Some pace here by Gabriel 92mph!

[smilley792]

It's all team tactics to get root in quicker.......


Hales and lyth, dream opening partnership.

[jwebber86]

i think that is the end of trott. would imagine lyth will open against new zealand. if they dont just hales to open in odi cant see him even being near the test squad which is such a shame
