Mahmood looking rather ordinary.
Leach bowling far too quickly.
Give it some air man.

 

[rangercol]

Terrible from Leach.
Bowled like a medium pacer.
Needed to toss it up.

 

[rangercol]

Leach bowled his first delivery today at under 50mph.
It turned sideways.
Now he's settling back into his much quicker deliveries and not looking anything like as threatening.

Is he thick?

Is he not mixing it up at all? Not sure he has that much in his armoury.

He's got one now.
No, he hasn't got a lot in his armoury.

I stopped watching, but he was bowling quickly and putting the odd slower one in. I'd have thought he should do the opposite.
Anyway, my criticism worked as a commentators curse, as he got one apparently.
Didn't see it.

Leach has bowled OK, but his wicket was from the worst ball he's bowled.

Stokes has Bonner LBW and it's 101-3.

 

[Stroller]

Now Stokes gets another LBW.

Not given and not reviewed.

I fear he is and Root as culpable for not telling him to bowl slower ffs. Jeez I miss Swann, now there was a quality spinner

Turgid stuff this, it's wickets like this that will be the downfall of Test cricket. The Windies should be fined and docked championship points for producing this ****, disgraceful.

 

[Wherever]

This could be the dullest series ever

 

[Trammers]

Think the pitch is going to win again.......... can't see England getting 17 wickets in 7 sessions....... be lucky to bowl them out once.....

 

[sb_73]

Only 97 more needed to avoid the follow on……..

 

[Trammers]

Cricket is so dull I think I'll turn over and see if Massive are falling apart again...........

 

[rangercol]

Mahmood bowls Blackwood and.......



It's a no ball!

 

[Trammers]

Blackwood is bound to go on and get 100 now..........

 

[Trammers]

Fair play to Braithwaite, a very good 100, just what his side needed

 

[Hammersmith reborn]

On reflection, thank **** we didn't take Anderson and Broad on this tour. These wickets would've defo finished their careers, we now have them fresh and raring to go for the Summer tests ahead.

 

[Trammers]

They could have told us about this before watching the last 3 days play.......

136 overs
WI 336-4
On this very pitch in 2009... England declared on 600-6. West Indies replied with 749-9. England scored 279-2 in their second innings.

Here's the scorecard if you want a ganders.

That's 1,628 runs scored in five days. Tells you everything you need to know.

 

[sb_73]

I’m not even watching this, just looking at the stats, and 63 runs from 34 overs with 1 wicket falling does not make me sorry to be missing it.

 

[Trammers]

It#s taken Windies 22 more over to score 388 than it took England to score 507.....
