The team for the 2nd test looks a stronger one compared to the 1st.

Great umpiring already..shocking decision.. England can't even win without dodgy decisions now

Cook drops an absolute dolly which was offered up by Samuels off the bowling of Jordan.

[ppccopener]

Yes and he's taken some great catches at first slip too.
He's not a robot

[SOULMAN1012]

Broad is looking so pedestrian fastest delivery 80.1mph most around the 77 - 78 mark. Really don't get what he brings to the side anymore. Has he just lost it all as we know his batting has gone backwards since the head injury or is he not fit. Just annoys me that we have Wood & Plunkett doing not a lot more than net bowling.

Have you seen how close the slips are having to stand, makes catching pretty tough.

The pitch is terrible.

Looks like samules counter attack. Hope he smashes broad a few more .
No better bowler in cricket to be seen smashed around the park than broad

[golders]

Broad is military medium.Im sorry but this attack is not going to win as test matches against the Aussies. I'd like to see Butler stand up to the stumps for Broad and watch him kick off!

Do me a favour. The slips might be standing a bit closer, but the bowling is barely medium pace. You make out like Cook's standing up to Jeff Thomson...

Lets not hammer the bowlers too much this looks a flat deck just like Antigua.
But yes Broad could be replaced with wood or plunkett-we have plenty of batting and broad does not look like scoring any runs at all

Ali's bowled some pies today. Surprising root's not even been given an over.

Thought England would have learnt from west indies' last tour of England that sledging samules doesn't work.
He's winning again today and the handbags are out for stokes and co.

Your right it's a waste of time  charging in on that track pitch the ball up aim to hit off stump 3/4 of the way up  keep plunkett and wood fresh till they have a track that suits them.

That embarrassing moment when trotts just as quick as broad.

[WalkingWicket37]

That embarrassing moment when trotts just as quick as broad.

So if Broad had carried on bowling they should've stayed on?
Get Butler up to the stumps and the umpire to tell him they're staying on because he's only a medium pacer, would love to see his reaction 

[smilley792]

2 down and into the tail.


Do we think we can score enough runs in our one innings to win this? Or it heading for a draw again?? (Or for the pessimists a loss! )
