FIRST NPOWER TEST, LORD'S: ENGLAND v WEST INDIES

Colly's done well to get his 50 after that early scare.

Bell his usual plodding self - I presume the reason nobody's posted for ages is that he's sent you all to sleep?

Ton for Colly - good work fella, we could build a decent total here!

I guess my prediction was wrong.

One question though, why do our batsmen find it so hard after hitting their century, to go on and make a big one or a double?

Trescothick's not having any trouble :(

Colly could do it tho...he did against the aussies.

He might, but all too often they get their century and I think switch off and think they have done their bit, and get themselves out.
 
:(

I hate being right, Collingwood gone for 111.

only england fans could be unsatisfied by 100s.

Not unsatisfied at all.

My point is backed up by fact. Our players very rarely get big hundreds, this cannot be argued against bar the odd one here and there. I was just putting it up for discussion to maybe find a reason for it.

Fantastic knock

A star is born, I feel

Geraint Jones got a Century in his second test match.....we know what happened there, certainly not star status.

True, but after watching the highlights, Prior does seem very talented with his batting. Great total for England
 
Oh and what's with that bad light rule, it seems quite ridiculous if you ask me

hmmm...should have declared a bit earlier.

Not sure, i dont think we expected this West Indies side to put up so much resistance, and Hoggard to get injured. To make matters even worse Harmison bowled shite. We may still win it though, dpends on Panesar.
 
Gayle and Pietersson are having a proper war of words. Lloyd keeps going on about how good natured it is, how it's just good banter. I don't wanna be hearing that. I want them to be calling each other cnuts. I suspect it's more likely to be the truth. Otherwise they'd let us hear more of it
 
Pieterson just made his century and is having a bit of banter with Gayle
 
Pieterson out now for . Nice hand shake between him and Gayle, top pros. We should declare soon
