yeah happy to see swanny in. not so happy with harmy being in but i can see why they have done it. glad shah seems to be taking his chance too. he looks really focused and pumped up. nice to see that imo.
strauss is batting really well this last 6 months.
cracking work to get the pitch up to a ok standard. a few balls are staying low but all in all top work mr groundsman. it also looks like an old style west indian pitch

Fairly easy to predcit really on that wicket. Always been a batting wicket and i can't see either team taking 10 wickets.

Yeah I agree; I can't see England especially taking 20 wickets.

Its ok Tamworth will suggest an England win as well as a West Indies win before the end of the match. That way he always gets the result right and amazes us with his cricket knowledge. :icon_wink

With the state of the pitch, England must be favourites. Last night the uneven bounce was causing the batsmen all sorts of problems. Despite Harmison going for a few runs he looked capable of making a big impact on this type of pitch, whilst Flintoff looks a real threat. I see no reason why we can't skittke the Windies out for under 250, but much will depend on how Broad, Anderson and Swann support the main two strike bowlers.

Flintoff's injured and Harmi's gone off 'ill' :icon_bigg
Swann's got Smith anyway 128-2. Powell still in :icon_conf

I knew that was the case for the start. I didn’t know whether they were sticking with that or working to use them say after the first day or 2.
