WTFiGO!?! Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 6 minutes ago, Tomarse said: Was a blatant no ball too. Did you think? I was unsure - it seemed impossible to tell - the shadow (literally) casted doubt on it. The benefit of any doubt goes to the bowler apparently, so out for me. I can not believe the turnabout in fortunes from the first test, it's made for a far more interesting game though. England are right up against it, so can test their steel.

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 We need to get another 250 - 270 at least to have any chance of winning from here. First innings notwithstanding, I`d still back our bowlers to get them out for below 250 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotham Brow Red Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 To be fair great comeback by WI but great evening session by England. 150-200 with 7 in the hutch could be game on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Windies were obviously badly shaken by their humiliation at Edgebaston and have upped their game tremendously. They bowled well and their fielding was significantly better. Today I was delighted to see England overcome the deficit with just 3 down and if they can get a decent lead of around 200/250 the last day will be fascinating to see both teams battling it out on a deteriorating wicket.

Northern Red Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 To be fair we're used to being 3 wickets down for not very many, so this situation shouldn't be too daunting... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the advertising screens behind the bowlers arm broke and kept on showing the advert even when manually turned off, would just flip back to the adverts... took about 10 mins of one old man probably in his late 50s stood on a metal structure trying to fix it before they could continue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonsRed Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 At what point do the British media pick up and pick on Joe Root for failing to convert so many 50s??
