steups

Hush yr rass lara was just outta it from being with the sweet sweet wife he have                    

[SPK]

Bravo needs more work IMO.

He's good, but he needs more training to get up to scratch to what's out there.

Plus, WI has no world-class spinners...they may do well regionally, but they get murdered against the top level people.

My suggestion is to let spinners play abroad against tougher opponents, and then bring them back, let them see what needs to be done against the best out there.

neways i will be at the oval for this test
i must say i am questioning collins pick
but we will see
he was the leading wicket taker so had to be
good luck guys

[MisterX]

STEUPS

WI get PIGGGAY! Now you u all believe me when i say we should support Pakistan!

I THINK THE SIDE WE SHOULD  SUPPORT IS INDIA. Truly the better side!
:kneel:                    

[PapaSmurf]

Very true to that. But i think i am going back to football as my primary sports pursuit. Cricket in the Caribbean is just ballz these days.                    

[SPK]

Well from what i got so far, we got past 47, but still kinda falling short...

153/7 up to this point... the batting failing again after the opening...*sigh* :?

Tino Best - three for 44  
TINO BEST TAKES TWO WICKETS BEFORE TEA
by CMC

Click here for scorecard
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - England lost two wickets in the post-lunch session but closed in well on the West Indies first innings score on the third day of the second Cable & Wireless cricket Test at Queen's Park Oval today.

Replying to West Indies score of 208, England reached tea on 197 for four - just 11 runs behind - with Graham Thorpe (34) and Andy Flintoff (10) the not out batsmen.

England added 74 runs to their lunch-time position of 123 for two during the session while losing the experienced Mark Butcher and Nasser Hussain, who had doggedly dragged their side out of deep trouble with a 120-run third-wicket partnership.

Effervescent pacer Tino Best struck soon after the lunch break when he had Butcher caught behind for 61 as England dipped to 128 for three.
 
Butcher, failing to add to his lunch time score, faced 190 balls and hit seven boundaries in his knock.

The stodgy Hussain (58) finally departed, when he had a slight edge into the off stump against Best at 186 for four.

Hussain, who hit six fours, batted 353 minutes and faced 223 balls in his knock.

Best has so far taken three for 44 off 19 overs with four maidens to lead the home team's bowling.

[~*Ashiee*~]

u know that song is a boss
lemme lash the lyrics on allyuh

for 10 long yrs we ruled the cricket world
now the rule seems coming to an end
but down here
just a chink in the armour is enough..enough to lose a friend
some of the old generals have retired and gone
and the runs don't come as they did before
but when they do say so, don't you know
the desert beats down
we've lost the battle but yet we will win the war

AS LONG AS WE
RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
NOW AND FOREVER
RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
NEVER SAY NEVER
pretty soon the runs are going to flow again like water
bringing so much joy to each and every son and daughter
say we gonna rise again like a raging fire
as the sun shines you know we gonna take it higher
we gotta RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
NOW AND FOREVER
RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
STOCK UP THE FIRE

way down under a warrior falls
Micheal Holding falls in the heat of the battle
"Micheal shoulda left long time"
i heard an angry brother shout
Caribbean man, that that that that is the root of our trouble
in these tiny thearters of confilct and confusion
better known as the isle of the west indies
we already know who brought us here and who created this confusion
so i'm begging. begging my people please
ohh we got to
RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
NOW AND FOREVER
RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
STOCK UP THE FIRE
pretty soon the runs are going to flow again like water
bringing so much joy to each and every son and daughter
say we gonna rise again like a raging fire
as the sun shines you know we gonna take it higher
we gotta RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
NOW AND FOREVER
RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
NEVER SAY NEVER

Now they making restrictions and laws to spoil our beauty
but in the end we shall we prevail
this is just not cricket, this thing goes beyond the boundary
it's up to you and me to make sure that they fail
soon we must take a side or be lost in the rubble
in a devided world that don't need islands no more
are we doomed forever to be at somebody's mercy
little keys can open up mighty doors

RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
NOW AND FOREVER
RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
NEVER SAY NEVER
pretty soon the runs are going to flow again like water
bringing so much joy to each and every son and daughter
say we gonna rise again like a raging fire
as the sun shines you know we gonna take it higher
we gotta RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
NOW AND FOREVER
RALLY RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES
STOCK UP THE FIRE
