West Indies v England | 4th Test | Barbados | 26 Feb - 2 Mar 09

[IronMan2009]

90.4 mph Edwards.

 

[minhasuz]

Talha is 7 years younger than Edward's and his pace is near Edward's pace. So imagine when he gets at age of 27 Insh Allah then how fast he would be?

 

[Amjid Javed]

England 143 behind i really think W.I should go flat out today and try and win the game. I think England may just lose this!

 

[Muhammad]

I've got a feeling (and I don't get these very often or usually ignore them) that Darren Powell is going to get up off his lazy fat behind today and do something notable to surprise England and the rest of the world.

He's just that kind of player.

 

[McBoom]

Has anyone got a streaming link for this match? I want to see some Fiddy bouncers.

 

[MIG]

TVN viewers can watch this for free - part of the Pak SL package...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looking forward to an england collapse today and west indies taking series 2-0

 

[On_the_up]

england will have to bat well beyond tea to save this test.

Ya by the time Talha turns 50 he will be bowling at 300 kph

The good ship HMS England heading for a draw.

 

[MIG]

Eng 115-1

Rain is threatning BT, Barbados

 

[Oxy]

1st over back

Immediate referral by Windies for bat/pad catch

Not out for me.

DArrell Harper under pressure! He's bricking it - no doubt!

That feeling I had a few hours ago has mysteriously disappeared, I'll remember to ignore them in future.

Looks like there's rain in the air.

 

[OZGOD]

Anyone else think this pitch is a TRAVESTY

 

[Oxy]

Another poor showing from Owais Shah

LBW for 21

Eng 129-2

Its a 10 men Windies with Powell in the side.

 

[Muhammad]

Another poor showing from Owais Shah

LBW for 21

Eng 129-2

Shah's really blown a good opportunity in this test, he's likely to get another chance in Trinidad though, really must not mess up there!

 

[Oxy]

Gayle looking quite dangerous.

Benn operating from the 'Fake Beach End'

Benn operating from the 'Fake Beach End'

Is that the end which is in the direction of the Sir Viv stadium in Antigua?

No, thats the 'Fake Stadium End'

Anyone else think this pitch is a TRAVESTY

Smabit Bal doesn't. Thats all that matters.

 

[Oxy]

Eng 146-2

They still trail by 3 runs.

Good atmosphere being generated in the stadium

YES! Fidel comes onto bowl!

 

[Oxy]

And Fidel starts off with a 91 mph loosner!!!

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Fidel is proof of the value of pace. Clearly the only threatening bowler on show - never get tired of watching him bowl

 

[Oxy]

Alistair Cook gets to a hundred - took his time! Well nervous in the 90s!

206-2

Eng lead by 58 runs.

 

[12thMan]

It is tea and 23-25 overs left today. So probably after 10 overs game will be called off

Pietersen 50(74) - Cook 117(220)
Eng 233-2 after 68 overs - lead of 84 runs

"Hope you enjoyed this great test match, where we saw some elegant batting displays, record breaking scores & beautiful weather!

How we didnt see a triple ton on this greentop was a travesty!

This is Sambit Lal saying thanks to my new found fans on PakPassion, and I hope to join you for the 5th & final test from the West Indies"

 

[dblock]

In comparison the Pakistan match was 1553 runs for 18 wickets (not pretty) but any less a travesty than this match?

Travesty!

another series we could/should have won, and another failure to do so. the pitches haven't been in our favour, but a team that professes to be better than the West Indies should be able to go there and come out the better over 3 test matches. absolute tripe. we need a world class coach and some sort of bowling attack very soon, or we will struggle to even compete with Australia.
