Harmison has to play, it is the West Indies and it will suit him. His attitude is shit but he will get wickets in this series. We have to start winning test matches in the here and now, and to do that this month we should pick Harmy. Otherwise we will have two mainly swing bowlers in Anderson and Sidebottom.
Bell should be nowhere near the side at the moment but you are right Shah will sit out yet again.
Panesar will play as despite a couple of dodgy tests he has proved himself as a quality test spinner who needs nurturing, not chucking away quickly.
Team is as we predicted. Bell needs nothing less than a ton in this test, he clearly hasn't made the next step up in recent months since his 199 v SA

I'm a fan of bell
England win toss and bat - so should be a good chance for the top order to step up and score some tons.
looking down the tail, I don't see too many runs....
looking down the tail
Hmmmmmm.....had a toss, flat chested women are great, mediocre size are good too (the best) bowling at the gooleys so i can rub them better and attack your little man - you'd like to think i swing both ways, well i do. i just love the cocks......
full pressure from my member squirted on Freddie and Prior, but a chance for Broad to show his all-rounder potential by slipping me one up the gary. Other than that, we're looking at a fairly large end and if theres grass on the wicket we can play some cricket. Really awful runny sticky goo coming from big jim and at this rate i'm gonna have to watch rather much of it so damn goes my action up the gary from broady incase he does the reach round
Big pressure on Freddie and Prior, but a chance for Broad to show his all-rounder potential. Other than that, we're looking at a fairly swift end to the innings once a wicket or two goes. Really awful run rate, didn't get to watch much of it so don't know if there was a reason?
Plenty to be fair. The outfield is woeful, 250 would be worth 300+ on a better outfield.
Plus the pitch is a disgrace and not wht youd expect from Kingston at all. The commentators were commenting that they had seen amateur games plyed there on better wickets.
