England 2012 Cricket Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Bell is having a nightmare in the slips, two very comfortable chances dropped.

[PaulWinch again]

Great delivery from Bres to get Fudadin out, but weird commentary I thought it was a replay as there was no reaction.

Good day at Edgbaston. Good atmosphere despite the match being a bit of a non event. I thought England were lethargic and West Indies were as adequate as they can be these days. England were a bowler short. Lot of WI batsmen got into good scores but failed to take full advantage. England will be in trouble against South Africa if they had to rely on today's attacking strength but better bowlers will be available.
Very impressive knock from Samuels but he should have gone on to get a 100 but like WI cricket not quite up to it.

[PaulWinch again]

Brilliant effort from Best, but our bowling has been off today. We're going to miss KP in one day cricket, batting beautifully.

[PaulWinch again]

Bairstow failed again.

[Somniloquism]

I see the Windies saved the Best for last.

[Dave Cooper please]

Yes, Bairstow might have blown his chances of a start against South Africa.
We have now proved as well that we need at least one of Anderson or Broad, can't leave out both.

Going to pop down tomorrow, nothing riding on the game and almost certainly a draw but it's my day off and it's cricket!

Yes we lack ruthlessness without Broad and Anderson, Best should never have got that score. I think resting them also sent out the wrong message to the team and we've been really below par in this game. Bairstow needs to start moving his feet, he gets stuck too often.

Is it going to the third umpire?

[PaulWinch again]

Great innings from Bell.

[Dave Cooper please]

Nice easy win, very good all round performance.

[Villan For Life]

Great innings from Bell.

The pictures of his chin on Friday were awful. He took a hell of a hit in the nets. It was a great innings made more so by the various broken bits of chin that he suffered.

[The Left Side]

Great innings from Bell.

Well done Belly
