Cricket - England vs WIndies Summer 2017

Nothing can go wrong from here

347-3. Very satisfactory. Stoneman got a very good ball, Westley planted his front foot as the ball left the bowler's hand.

I'll repeat, nothing can go wrong from here, except. ...I'd really like the WIndies to be better. Perhaps not as good as when Richards and Grenwich were batting, with their great quicks bowling, but at least good enough to not be certain what the outcome will be unless it pours with rain.

514 / 8 dec

Now we'll see if the WIndies can bat better than they can bowl.

Looks like Mr Anderson got out of bed on the right side this morning.

Indeed, good start to the day.

ETA, better, four down.

So the WIndies aren't going to make the follow on. Open with Stonemand and Westley, with Malan coming in at three to get a better idea of how they can bat.

168 all out.

Will we enforce the follow on.

ETA, just been announced, we'll enforce it.

and again

Just got in from a weekend away. Sounds like we've got a real test match, however we've done the same in this match that we did in the second test against the Saffers.

[spikeyhead]

Declared, 321 ahead, six overs to be bowled this evening.

[spikeyhead]

Don't panic

[spikeyhead]

and don't drop catches

[spikeyhead]

That was exciting, and although we played poorly for the first three and a half days, the WIndies put in a decent performance and cricket is the better for that.

[spikeyhead]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

[spikeyhead]

WIndies effectively six for 53

[spikeyhead]

Need 107 to win

Blowers just finished his last stint on TMS Legend

I'll miss Blowers, it's been a fabulous innings from him. I'm still a bit annoyed about Mickey Stuart recovering so quickly in India, preventing him from having a game for England.

Just got home having been out all day, sounds like I've missed some great shots.

Don't panic

Does rain dance
