Well done lads
Will they take lunch - or run on through..?
they`ll be taking it after this over.
Wonder what woyuld've happened if Narine was playing...
Really glad he isn't taking part in this series tbh.
Wonder what woyuld've happened if Narine was playing...
===========================
He's a disgrace to test cricket...... His country needed him against the Aussies before and now against England but money talked for him.
No Kash, he isn't a disgrace.
There are perfectly understandable reasons why a WI cricketer would choose IPL over test matches.
Like what GG, i know they don't get paid well but Samuels was playing in the IPL and made it back for England? Sure he lost out on some pro rata money but Narine could have done the same.
WI cricketers get paid poorly compared to other international cricketers, his IPL contract is worth $700 000. WICB are hardly stable, many of the players distrust them and don't see them as a reliable form if income. Domestic cricket in WI is amateur, Narine wouldn't have earned a cent out of cricket until the Aus ODI's.
You can talk about 'international pride' all you want, but I think we'd all do the same in his situation.
GG that is right but he is still a disgrace to test cricket then isnt he? Turned his back on the bread and butter to play for some Indian side. Nothing wrong with making money and we'd all do that and yes the WI board is very weak but still leaves a sick taste that there are more Narine's to follow.
Gabriel the other day was saying that it was his dream to play a test at Lords and i dont see any reason why he could have earnt 450-500k from his 700k and jumped on the plane with Samuels to England.
£££ " blah blah"
That'll be money talking then..
Can't begrudge them
Looks like they're trying to give us the win in no balls....
top knocks lads
That's that about seen off then...,
WINNERS! NO.1
England
West Indies
>cheers>
Comfortable in the end. Shame Cook missed out on the *, but never mind.
Well done England.
In 2011 Bell averaged 118, so far this year he averages 124. Can't keep these Warwickshire players down.
Pietersen's stupidity could have set a collapse in motion but Cook played splendidly well supported by Bell.
I see all the KP bashing is in full force.
Give it a rest. He plays his natural game regardless of the situation and should be credited for doing so.
"I see all the KP bashing is in full force."
One comment?
Pietersen continues to waste his great talent and deserves to be criticized when he puts his team in jeopardy the way he did today.
I agree! I'm not bashing KP but he is the most talented batsman we have & throws his wicket away far too often.
He should have knuckled down a little more today.
I'll make it easy for someone to have the 500th post.
