You mean other than England's performance in the Stanford 20-20 Super Series final?

Harmison bowling fairly well atm beating the bat a few times. 86 mph which i think is the speed where he bowls best. But so far the west indies look like getting past the follow on. If they do that, they have a very good chance of not losing the series. Now as I say this harmison looking as if he is gonna be ill again. No sign of fred bowling. Think Broad is probably gonna get a bowl next replacing Harmison next over. Harmy looks ill.

hottest day of the year apparently. Get him off to avoid heatstroke

cant afford to be without harmison or fred but certainly not both. WI must fancy getting a draw now.
Harmison off the field. Looks really ill. Fred's on but not the usual fiery fred. He's struggling. Hip injury apparently.

kp smacked for six

games heading for a draw. Dunno why KP is bowling and Broad isn't. Why?
― The User Formerly Known As Pfunkboy Latterly Known as.. (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 17:50 (seventeen years ago)
a wicket or 2 now and games changed. KP isn't going to take wickets, he's just easy runs for 2 good batsmen.
cant see where a wicket is going to come and you know who is still to bat
― The User Formerly Known As Pfunkboy Latterly Known as.. (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 17:59 (seventeen years ago)
well well. fred gets the edge. Hinds out. But sarwan looks in awesome form and guess who is in next.

If we can get Chanderpaul out now, we should bundle them out for under 300 I think.
― zero learnt from nero (Neil S), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 18:02 (seventeen years ago)
and if we dont 500+

Good height too. Sarwan wouldve been a great wicket. He's playing very well. Will probably be made to regret that.
― The User Formerly Known As Pfunkboy Latterly Known as.. (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 17 February 2009 18:29 (seventeen years ago)
Sarwan out on 94. He had a touch of the KP disease there. Tried to bring up his century with a 6 and hits straight to fred. He looks utterly disgusted with himself.

Fred takes a few wkts to bowl WI out but clearly isnt fit. Really struggling so a remarkable effort by the big man. Harmison is clearly quite ill but bowled manfully too with decent pace (and making himself more sick in the process) was unlucky not to get a few wickets.Not enforcing follow in since the bowlers arent fit. Botham and co are moaning like fuck but you cant blame strauss. Im sure they know more about how ill/injured they are than botham and willis in their comfy chairs.Now lets hope england dont give away cheap wkts chasing quick runs. Add a quick 150 by lunch tomorrow is i assume the plan. Lets see what happens. Lose a couple tonight and batting again will have been the wrong decision.

Umpires consistent with their (wrong) decisions. Shah hit on the foot infront of the stumps and given not out.

Shah out for 14. Eng 97-3. Things going slowly and I dont think England will have enough time to bowl out WI the way things are going. Pitch seems fine maybe a lil slow.
― The User Formerly Known As Pfunkboy Latterly Known as.. (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 18 February 2009 15:28 (seventeen years ago)
Hope KP is in better form. Need a lot of runs from him quickly.

Herman, you're the most pessimistic cricket fan I've ever conversed with, and by the standards of English cricket fans that is really saying something!

I genuinely think this phase of play is the worst Test cricket I've ever seen :D

when kp is on bowling the only thing you know is going to happen is that he gets hit around the ground. 10 off that over.

He also has a way of stating the bleeding obvious whilst coming across as if he's stating facts of earth-shattering importance.
