This is an absolute cripple fight. New Zealand will win both Tests by an innings.

Its nice of England to let the West Indies back into it, to make it interesting for the fansserious gaylord posted:How many wickets today? Seventeen

Going back to our earlier chat about England all-time greats and it feeling weird to see Ian Bell in there with them, here's a graph showing a breakdown of the careers of England batsmen with at least 15 centuries (including this match): As noted, Bell has by far the greatest proportion of single figure scores, but he also has the greatest proportion of 50+ scores of anyone who's made their debut after the 1950s. It's really weird. This chart is normalised - for some extra perspective, here's a non-normalised chart:

That is very interesting, although I've a boring person interested in random yet interesting stats Lol at over a third of Bell's innings being single figures though

I'm glad that England decided not to include a spinner on this pitch.

No, you see Cook got a ton and Jimmy got 6 wickets, so everything is fine.

Someone needs to lock the selectors in a box and not let them out until one of them has eaten the other two.

Nothing major like, but they're all massive batted cackhanded twatlords these days so anything that isn't a road looks mental to them

Its good that England looked at this pitch and decided to send the dedicated spinner to Ireland in order to play two batting all-rounders

As bad as England are, Windies are a lot worse. A lead of 100 is probably already enough tbh. Also who is your proper spinner? I hope you don't mean Tredders.

Not really; if England collapsed by lunch tomorrow the West Indies would have over two and a half days to get the runs, they could afford to play the most boring cricket ever and still get the runs with a day to spare At least we aren't getting another boring draw Airstream Driver posted:Also who is your proper spinner? I hope you don't mean Tredders. Rashid: he's not the greatest bowler, although I think anyone could bowl better than Root and Moeen did today IceAgeComing fucked around with this message at 22:48 on May 2, 2015 |
