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

[Amjid Javed]

Sarwan in the form of his life here!

223* possible triple ton in the offering!

 

[12thMan]

That almost certainly took the bat there. Mild excitement briefly

129.3 Collingwood to Ramdin, no run, huge shout for a catch behind as it drifts down leg, and he tried to whip it but couldn't make contact. Lovely take by Ambrose. The umpire doesn't like it and England have no referrals left

Ramdin 36(95) - Sarwan 223(346)
Current partnership 119 runs, 34.4 overs, RR: 3.43 (Sarwan 78, Ramdin 36)
WI 453-5 after 129.6 overs - trail by 147 runs

 

[Da Best]

Sarwan needs to carry on, WI are out of batsmen!!!!

 

[McBoom]

wait nah...u mean there is no one followin this match?

I meant you are the one with the major contribution in the commentary while others are chipping in. I wasn't talking about who is & isn't following the commentary. How would I know this? Keep up the good work.

Plenty are following!

 

[12thMan]

Lunch time
Sarwan 229(369) - Ramdin 56(120)
Current partnership 149 runs, 42.4 overs, RR: 3.49 (Sarwan 84, Ramdin 56)
WI 483-5 after 138 overs @ 3.5 - trail by 117 runs
60 overs left today

 

[IronMan2009]

wait nah...u mean there is no one followin this match?

I do follow. Just that Sarwan is just too good. Wrist spinners would have played some role here.

 

[IronMan2009]

Windies has taken the series lead. They are sitting pretty now to win their first home series against England in a long time (provided they don't lose the next one)

phew! thankyou for saying that.....i thought that i was of no help to other

pp members

well i will continue as long as i have the time

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

im personally happy for ramdin being my fellow countryman and all......but i would have gone for his head had he not make at least 50 on this pitch....it will also help to silence the critics.

He also needs to make minimum 80 runs to compensate for dropping ambrose on 4 though it was a very difficult chance

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

FLintoff resting before his flight home....

) captain drunk?

[12thMan]

No ton for Ramdin yet. He passed his previous best of 71 and not batting on 74.
33 tests and 1078 runs with now 6 fifties

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Come on Sarwan, get a triple ton here. It would make him the 4th West Indian to score a triple ton after Sobers, Lara and Gayle. Has any West Indian apart from these 3 scored a triple ton in International cricket ?
