wow game on.

You just cannot manufacture the intensity that builds up in Test cricket, over 5 days and in this case, over a series.

Hope England lose.
 
Calm down Monty.

You cant afford another fine tonight!

He calls for a referral.

Not out for me...
 
Could be out!

Tough call Aleem Dar

Sarwan surives though.

1 review left for both
 
Gonna be a draw, i think if the west indies start to lose wickets, they will simply shut up shop. And I think this is pretty much a waste of a referral!
 
unbelievable from Prior! He waited with the ball above the bail for the stumping, waited for the foot to leave the ground - but mistimed it :)))

what a fool.
 
8 byes in last 3 overs.
Chanders 5(27) - Hinds 14(59)
WI 76-3 after 28.2 overs - need 164 more
minimum 37.4 overs remaining
 
WI need to take the initiative here. If you go on the defensive you hand the mental edge to the bowler.They need to put the bowlers off balance and have them reacting for a change. Right now Swann (S'warne) looks like Shane Warne against the Poms in Adelaide in 2006 - every delivery like a grenade. It didn't work for England then and it won't work for WI now. WHAT WOULD KING VIV DO??

Lash a few to the fence to make Strauss start thinking about defending the boundaries, then milk some singles. This game is very much winnable even with 3 batsmen already in the sheds.
 
Strauss will never defend boundaries. Its a choice between losing 1-0 or 2-0 - same difference.

Fact is that WI need to see this out - a test of their new found character
 
47 byes for Prior. Will he raise his gloves on reaching 50?
 
Collapso Cricket !

Nash gone .. Windistan 5 down
 
38.4 Swann to Hinds, no run, another big stride, fully forward and blocked with the intent of a man whose life depends on blockages

LoL ... he's the Windian Abdul Razzaq AKA Master Blocker.
 
I am hoping for an England win..
Though I have a soft corner for WI..this time around I somehow feel that England deserve to win today..they have played good test cricket especially their batsmen after that horror 1st test..
 
shut ur face panesar u twit. you dont spin it anywhere near enough to appeal for those lbws.
 
I hate Panesar sometimes. He deserves a ban for his ridiculous appealing. I don't mind a hearty appeal at all, but appealing for everything? Get lost.

Anyway, great last day of a Test is this irrespective of what happens. The series doesn't deserve it, but you can't argue when they come.

As for Swann's figures:

17 - 10 - 9 - 3

I hope England pull it off, they are the only side who has been trying to win this test match and have done all of the running.
 
Swann looking like he could take a wkt with virtually every ball.
 
its appeal a ball from Monty at the moment, fed up with the umpires constant rejection, he goes for the referral
 
This is crazy!

What a mongo, you do not spin the ball at all! That is why Gayle is playing with his pad.
 
Man, shameless stuff from the guy in the crowd.

Serve the TV companies right!

Gower apologises on his behalf!
 
If Australia was playing right now I would bet £500 that they go WI out. England not so sure

Yep watching with family - disgusting.
 
Monty Pansy might have got a wkt - but his reputation probably went against him.

Looked out to me!

Camera pans on Eng fan.

He gaves us the 'middle finger salute' - and camera stays focussed on him!
 
Monty will get one soon.

3 LBW shouts - all so close. 1 was plumb (not given)
 
The pitches have made this such a bad series, Eng have veeb tghe better team though
 
this from cricinfo,

Email-of-the-hour from Nabeel. "Monty is appealing more than the Red Cross."
 
I said it before and will say it again: Windies will squeak through. They have a propensity for it. Matter of fact, so do England :).

I think England just might regret their decision to bat on for more than 15 overs today. 200 runs was more than enough target. As we can see the Windies already panicked after losing too many wickets.
 
Anderson is bowling like Charl Langeveldt. England can win this game
 
Anderson has been the pick of the bowlers today.

109-8

2 wkts in 3.1 overs
 
Strauss will get a hammering - well he will from the non-Sky commentators (Boycott etc)
 
OMG this sounds like an awesome match to watch! 18 balls left, can Fidel stay around? Ramdin needs to keep strike.
