England 2012 Cricket Thread

[PaulWinch again]

It was a good Test match, relieved we won and we need to find our clinical edge again. However I'm glad this also backs up my view that the Windies are beginning the long road back to being a decent side.

[Dave Cooper please]

That Gabriel looks a good bowler, very fast and if he can get a bit more control he'll be lethal up at Trent Bridge which is always good for fast bowling, ask Jimmy Anderson!

[PaulWinch again]

Yes it should be an interesting game up there. I don't think we're at the top of our game yet and I would consider Finn for Bres in the next Test.

[PaulWinch again]

4 Tests in India? Bloody hell it's about time that Tests got more of a priority. Good stuff.

[Dave Cooper please]

And off we go again.
Windies 42-3, Anderson having a great first hour, two wickets and a great catch.

[PaulWinch again]

It's a really good start, if we could get rid of Shiv quickly that'd be nice.

[Villan For Life]

Every test that goes by our attack gets better and better. At times they are a joy to watch.

[PaulWinch again]

If only Jimmy could field in the slips of his own bowling, Chanderpaul would be gone.

[PaulWinch again]

Windies have really fought back here.

Superb effort from Samuels and Sammy. Now lets knock them over quickly tomorrow.

It was a great effort.

However, England definitely seem to have lost the killer instinct with the ball. It was evident in the second innings at Lords and in fairness it was a very poor last session from the bowlers, despite Samuels and Sammys performance.

Yeah I don't think Anderson and Broad were particularly well backed up by Bresnan or Swann really. I'd have Finn in for Bresnan, because I don't really think Bresnan offers enough if you only have 4 bowlers.

I agree, Bresnan is a fine cricketer, but Finn is the better bowler.

Bresnan offers more with the bat though which tips things in his favour.

See how they go this morning.
