Give me a break, what a retarded decision!

Its been given out, WI all out for 392 and lead by 74 runs
 
Holding surprised by the OUT given
WI 392 all out after 157.4 overs - lead of 74 runs
 
How can that be given out let alone the decision upheld? No way did that touch the bat.

Anyway handy lead for the Windies now. England 2nd innings crucial now...
 
Commentators saying system only as good as people who use it, Holding adds analogy to computers, if you put garbage in you get garbage out.
 
Gah, my bad habit of putting the tv off when tailenders are batting always makes me miss out on the controversies
 
for a six ball duck. Taylor the wkt taker. England 1-1 or as the Australians would say 1-1.
 
It was a straight forward catch to Devon Smith in the slips who did his best to drop it but managed to catch it at the second attempt.
 
England can't afford to lose another wicket now. Another wicket falls and the collapse is on...
 
BELL GONE!!!!!!!!

A little bit of turn and bounce from Ben, Bell eges behind!

England 11-2
 
Big Benn strikes early, this could be quite a difficult afternoon session for England. How would KP bat I wonder?
 
Nasser Husain saying there is no improvement in many England players, relying too heavily on KP.

Shah in for next test probably.

He should be in for next test. THe reason he was not selected was because he failed in the warm up match before the match. Where Collingwood and other scored 50 above and he didn't so Insh Allah we will see him in second test.


****Lunch****

Taylor's first ball after lunch, FAST, FULL AND FURIOUS YORKER!

Pitch is a potential minefield if you are batting last

I grew up watching England losing to the West Indies and I'm getting a sense of deja vu!
 
16.2 Taylor to Strauss, OUT, that's what happens when you can't get the board moving! A beautiful line across the left-hander, demanding a response, and the thinnest of grazes flies through to Ramdin!
AJ Strauss c Ramdin b Taylor 9 (50b 0x4 0x6) SR: 18.00
 
Any coincidence that this is happening hours after the IPL auctions involving England players?

We know what happened last time someone fla$hed the ca$h!!!
 
:))

whats the record low score for a team in the second innings? Can England set a new record?
 
Great setting

Good crowd.

Lovely day for a win for the Windies....
 
Taylor to Collingwood, OUT, good grief, what's happened there? Collingwood doesn't have a clue, he's haring up and down the pitch, running two runs for an inside-edge. But, and it's a rather monstrous but, that inside-edge has flicked his leg stump! The tell-tale bail is sat grinning on the ground, and England are in absolute, total, and unbelievably comprehensive disarray!
PD Collingwood b Taylor 1 (20b 0x4 0x6) SR: 5.00
 
666666666666666666666 doen!

Priot gone...................WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
 
Colly shooted out for a run and gets told by Freddie "Mate, your leg stump bail's gone" HAHAHAHAHA :))) Colly's like :O
 
Eng still 51 behind!!!

Welcome to captaincy Straussy babay!

KP having a secret laugh?

I think we may find out very soon!
 
When I said it could be over today, it's looking OPTIMISTIC now! Can we last until tea?
 
Taylor to Prior, OUT, five for Taylor, in the blink of an eye! A beautiful slower-ball offcutter, pings through the gate, and well blow me down, this could be over tonight!
MJ Prior b Taylor 0 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

And I was just joking....
 
This is some seriously consistent, fast bowling

Touching 90MPH!
 
England finished, time for a 149 from Flintoff :D ,

Next Match: Adil Rashid and Owais Shah for Monty and Bell.

Prediction, England all out for under 60 :D

PS 19.2 Benn to Flintoff, 2 runs, 2 RUNS, wow :D

This is worst than Pakistans collapse, i wanna see Pakistan vs England, it should be a REAL contest :D
 
From cricinfo
England's lowest in Test history, incidentally, is 45 ... in the 25th Test of all time, 1887!. Will they go lower? You've got to think it's on the cards
