Re: Cricket

Chanderpaul nearly out lbw 1st ball.Terrible stance.

Yeah it is an ordninary stance.

Can you blokes remember a guy who played for England, Derek Randall.He was a real character.He used to stand almost side on and bat outside leg stump.Was bizzare.

He got more side on the longer his career went on.

Pakistan 274 and 341 (Salman Butt 122, Inzamam 72; Flintoff 4-88, Harmison 3-52)
England 418 and 24/1
Stumps, day four
England, chasing 198 to win, require a further 174 runs with nine wickets in hand, but have already lost Trescothick for 5.

England bowled out for 175.

Re: Cricket

disgraceful.

Re: Cricket

Chanderpaul & Gale both out with Macgill & McGrath getting the wickets.Gale can consider himself very unlucky as the ball apeared to be going down legside & McGrath conned the umpire.Windies now 5/119 & probably won't be long before Aussie's bat.

Agree Evo,Kirsten is a terrible umpire & he got sucked in by McGrath's continuous appeal.Going down legside.No wonder some want the 3rd umpire to make lbw decisions.

Re: Cricket

Another wicket straight after tea leaves Windies 6/124.This series is turning into a farce.

The West Indies are a farce. What a fall from grace. :thumbsdown.

Re: Cricket

Another wicket to Macgill making the Windies 7/126.My 7 year old son could get these aleged batsmen out.

Re: Cricket

Yeah pretty dissapointing by the Windies.

Quite a few of the batsman have the talent but are severly lacking in the concentration required to make a long test innings.

Some of the really determined Windies batsman of old who weren't the most skilled like a Kallacharan or Rowe must be pretty dissapointed with the current teams lack of grit.

Re: Cricket

McGrath gets another to make Windies 8/130.What a great batting display.

The ACB is going to lose a heap of money this season. I'd almost be demanding my hard earned back. Can't see too many shelling out for the rest of the series or the one dayers. Pathetic .

Re: Cricket

Perhaps S Clark was thought of to try & even up the teams....

At this rate the locals will have a 1st innings lead by stumps & 6*20/20 games will be played on what were to be days 3,4 & 5 ...

Very deflating....The S Africans can't get here too soon for me.Their customary Afrikaaner attitude should,at least,ensure a competitive series else it'll be a very loooooong summer...

Re: Cricket

Windies all out for 149.Test will be lucky to last 3 days.Pitiful batting performance.

I really hope you're correct. We need to see a contest in this country, otherwise I might mow the lawns this boxing day.

At least next summer 2006/07 will be better with the resurgent England against Australia in the Ashes.

It's more exciting when you're trying to win something back, compared to winning to retain it as we did with the Ashes for so long.

Agree,next summer's series against Poms is one to really look forward to.

Well, England fell in a heap in Multan.

Stand-in skipper Trescothick quoted as saying that England "didn't make enough runs today". :
