So another test series, is upon us. A key series, as well, as england to look to put the ashes behind them, and take on, and beat a young, and very average west indies team. england have made changes, for one reason to bring in youth, and due to injury. Matty Prior gets his chance, so lest hope the rain keeps away, unlikely at the moment. http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=466540&CPID=469&clid=3067&lid=7201&title=Prior+relishing+dream+debut&channel=cricket&
If you were to bet on the west indies 1st innings score - what would you bet? how many runs do you think they will get? in bands of 25 - ie 300-325 etc
with the west indies only playing 48 overs of warm up matches, its all uphill for them. but its looks like late nights, are still the order of the day for the West indies... http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=466823&CPID=469&clid=548&lid=7201&title=Gayle+unimpressed+by+curfew
west indies, choose to bat, and not such a good choice, with their attack, even with over cast conditions. a long bad light session, with no play, but we start again 16.30. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/latest_scorecard/default.stm a good close of play card for england, kill the game off on friday, if the weather holds
england day, runs everywhere, england might will declare overnight, and give the windies a chance to bat. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/6668549.stm
west indies second innings under way, with 2 or 3 overs tonight, after england declared to give the windies 401 to win
game finished in a draw. pretty dull test match really. i feel for shah as he has waited a long time for his 2nd cap and he only got 10 runs in the match. Prior had a great debut though
