England in the West Indies

[Hall]

Sarwan gone now! This is getting exciting.

What a catch by Colly for that first wicket!

 

[An Tarbh]

ah Chanderpaul will be there till the end though.

 

[Hall]

So glad he'll be playing for Durham again this season!

 

[An Tarbh]

glimmer of hope now for England not that Swann got Chanderpaul lbw despite the referral.

 

[An Tarbh]

Nash gone now, Windies possibly getting twitchy but still have Ramdin and Gayle left so plenty left to do for England.

 

[An Tarbh]

If ever the Windies needed a captain's innings now's the time.

 

[An Tarbh]

no more referrals for England now as they waste one that was obviously going over the top.

 

[An Tarbh]

case of running out of overs for England, now only needing 3 wickets but only 6 overs left.

 

[An Tarbh]

ah you just think they're making this series defeat more agonising now, surely they can't get the 2 remaining wickets, quality effort from Anderson though

 

[An Tarbh]

West Indies hang on for the draw and take the series 1-0. England's bowlers haven't had enough on these Caribbean pitches and Antigua was the turning point, I just don't buy the excuse that England batted too long, the bowlers had plenty of time to take the wickets in both Antigua and Trinidad, it was the first innings that let them down here. Even if they'd declared earlier the Windies probably would have gone for the chase.

 

[An Tarbh]

Great stuff Bumble is back in the commentary box for the one day series as the Twenty20 gets underway in Trinidad.

 

[An Tarbh]

Bopara clean bowled for 13 as England lose their first wicket at 25-1.

 

[An Tarbh]

Bravo marks his return to international cricket with the wicket of Davies. England 55-2 as Shah comes to the crease, can't really see Strauss fitting into this batting lineup.

 

[An Tarbh]

big wicket that for the Windies with Benn getting Pietersen lbw, Pietersen not too happy with the call.

 

[An Tarbh]

and still no Strauss, he's not exactly a middle order batsmen, dreadful decision on that lbw from the umpire.

 

[An Tarbh]

Shah goes, not quite putting enough on the slog straight down the ground as Pollard takes the catch off Benn and finally we have Strauss at the crease at 82-4.

 

[An Tarbh]

gets worse for England as Collingwood is now back in the pavillion. 95-5.

 

[An Tarbh]

shambolic from Mascheranas as he's run out, there goes England's chances of some big hitting at the death.

 

[An Tarbh]

quality fielding from Chanderpaul but thought Strauss would have been given the benefit of the doubt in what was an extremely tight call.

 

[An Tarbh]

anything Chanderpaul can do Sarwan can do better, cracking throw to get rid of Batty.
