A stinker = "clearly, blatantly errant"

But the referrals arent the problem. It's the incompetent men in the middle and up in the chair.Take tv out of it and you still have 2 morons in the middle getting it wrong.

I wish we had fred. we'd be 2-1 up

Chanderpaul wouldnt say if he had hit it or not(ie didnt try to say he didn't hit it) then he said the WI team was happy with the referrals as they had the major benefit of it.

Look, just be grateful Billy Bowden's in South Africa, will ya? :P

Just seen the cook decision again. There's daylight there, he does not touch it. How could Harper have still given it out? Unbelievable.

I hope KP scores quick as anything tomorrow. get 170 in double quicktime so that WI only have to go at 2 an over so they cant just block, and hope a couple of wkts fall early then they get nervy and wkts fall at regular intervals. Sadly on this pitch its morely likely gayle will knock it off doublequick and get a 10 wkt win.

England can quite easily get a 200 lead before lunch. Set 'em about 210 to win, watch the sparks fly.
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:58 (fifteen years ago) link
That would take some bold captaincy, not hitherto a feature of the series - but what's the alternative, declare at tea and hope for a miracle?
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 9 March 2009 22:01 (fifteen years ago) link
That isn't an alternative. England won't be considering anything other than declaring around lunch-time.
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 22:03 (fifteen years ago) link
210 and the WI wouldnt bother their arse

If gayle got out they would just bat out the day
Hopefully, Amjad will have his Devon Malcom moment in this match, 9-35 or something like that. Blimey, didn't know Amjad was Danish either!

Malcolm, doh
9-57 and I didn't have to look that up.
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 22:05 (fifteen years ago) link
I remember the day like it was yesterday, and ran and told my dad that Devon was destroying them. It was awesome, probably my favourite sporting moment. (knew it was 9-57, was just setting the bench higher!)
― jel --, Monday, 9 March 2009 22:08 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm trying to think of an equivalent! Obvs the Gary Pratt run-out is the single greatest moment in post-millennial English cricket.
Probably Trescothick's utterly insane 87 off about 50 in an ODI against Pakistan. I let a lot of people know about that one.
Hmm.

That ball that Ashley Giles bowled Brian Lara with was special.
(Must get Sky this summer, another cricketless summer is too depressing to contemplate)
― jel --, Monday, 9 March 2009 22:14 (fifteen years ago) link
Mainly coz it was Ashley Giles, and kinda WTF?
― jel --, Monday, 9 March 2009 22:15 (fifteen years ago) link
He did the same to Damien Martyn AND Chris Cairns
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 22:19 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm pretty sure he's never going to be fit enough to play a whole series again.

If the WI get KP out watch their celebrations, they will celebrate like they have won.

If England dont get bowled out chasing runs, what should they declare at? 170? 200? remember if you score too many , the WI will just defend and get an easy draw.

Since Gayle bowled last night he better not be allowed a runner

The lower the better. Let's see what Strauss is made of.

Declaring early is only ok if you get gayle out quick. He could knock a small target off himself

England going well!
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Tuesday, 10 March 2009 15:01 (fifteen years ago) link
infact if the WI were to collapse it would be to pressure. So how the fuck could there be pressure built if they have a low score and plenty of overs left to chase? It would be fucking stupid.

Gayles gone off the field, i think he's doing it so he can say hes injured again so he can get a runner for batting. Cheating cunt.
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 10 March 2009 15:17 (fifteen years ago) link
but he had an injury before this innings and he bowled so england should object if he requests one.

If England declare before lunch they lose 2 overs to bowl. If they bat to lunch and declare they get the full allotment
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 10 March 2009 15:44 (fifteen years ago) link
the pitch hasnt done anything today so im guessing thats a consideration. if it had been misbehavng they woulda declared. God i wish fred and harmison were there bending their backs trying to bowl 90mph. Thats the only way to get wkts
