although maybe I'M speaking too soon now lol

it was the umpires' fault, there's a conspiracy
not enforcing the follow-on, holding out for a 500 lead, etc
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 19 February 2009 22:05 (seventeen years ago)
yeah, wtf with deciding on 500 before the 3rd innings even began
― I want sprinkles (country matters), Thursday, 19 February 2009 22:06 (seventeen years ago)
lead of 280-odd = slog a quick 150 and get back out there
Yeah, give them a rabbit to chase too - though it might've turned out a bit risky, WI batted well enough
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 19 February 2009 22:11 (seventeen years ago)
Not sure you can fault Strauss's decisions to much TBH. Just a very good batting performance by the Windies.

Understand why Strauss didn't enforce the follow on, still think it was a dick move, impressed I haven't seen that much grief from the press except I never read the press.

Harmison dropped, half fit swann plays. Hope Sidebottom is fit. Can you see England taking 20 wickets in this match?
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 26 February 2009 15:22 (seventeen years ago)
Not sure about that one, tbh. Although I have a sneaking feeling that Sidebottom is due a haul.
― bitch hooligan, pussy ass nobrain dårk (country matters), Thursday, 26 February 2009 15:24 (seventeen years ago)
Strauss just dropped by Gayle @ slip. An over after he edges wide of the slip because Smith was standing too wide. Strauss is playing like his old self now but with more luck. That wont last forever. I hope he remembers those shots get him out and stops playing them! More newlook Strauss please!
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 26 February 2009 15:42 (seventeen years ago)
I hope he carries on playing them. His luck's in, the pitch is flat, and England have to be positive. It almost matters more how quickly England score their runs, than quite how many they make.
― bitch hooligan, pussy ass nobrain dårk (country matters), Thursday, 26 February 2009 15:43 (seventeen years ago)
Harmison should be playing. Lots of pace and bounce. Some turn too, a perfect Monty pitch.
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 26 February 2009 15:44 (seventeen years ago)
Only "lots" compared to the previous pitches this series. Harmison is bowling OK, but he's down on pace, and an 83 mph Harmison is not necessarily going to prosper on a good flat deck. It's the kind of pitch where you have to work for your wickets, and the suspicion is that Harmison won't do this quite so well as, say, Sidebottom or Anderson. A little turn has demonstrably proved to be not necessarily a "Monty pitch" either; see the first Test of this series (which turned far more). No pitch is a "Monty pitch" the way he's bowling at present.
― bitch hooligan, pussy ass nobrain dårk (country matters), Thursday, 26 February 2009 15:47 (seventeen years ago)
At least he's fit though. Swann is gonna have to bowl a lot.

that portable beach at the ground looks great fun. Most of the english supporters seem to be spending more time in the water with their inflatable toys than watching a fabulous century.

1755 - England 176-0A single apiece from Cook and Strauss off another Gayle over edge England towards 200 but, more frustratingly, TV crowd shots show a bunch of pink Englishmen larking about in the pool on the boundary edge drinking beer and generally having the time of their lives. Is that really what you need to see when you're stuck in the office?
