By:
just tuned in. feels like WI under pressure here and will crumble
|
|
By:
no. he was batting, last wicket, to save the match and the series and was bounced out.
|
|
By:
it's absolutely instinct/quick brain. most batting against pace is.
|
|
By:
what would WI have to do to win from here?
 (Test noob I know) |
|
By:
score 136 more runs in 15 overs.
|
|
By:
why don't they engage 20/20 mode?
|
|
By:
last hour, minimum 15 overs, could be more if they push
|
|
By:
Big Show would do that easy
|
|
By:

|
By:
|
|
By:
because it would risk losing the game wiseone
|
|
By:
holder can bat properly
|
|
By:
test cricket is risk averse
|
|
By:
but they'd lose for sure
|
|
By:
avoid losing at all costs + they would never do it with the batting left in the shed
|
|
By:
it's a three test series wisewords
if they went for they would almost certainly lose the match, making a series win extremely difficult. they have a reasonable chance of a draw here on a dead pitch. as sri lanka showed in the summer, just one dodgy match in a short series can be decisive. |
|
By:
thanks DStyle, that makes more sense now.
|
|
By:
if the series score were 1-0 to england and this was the final match of the series i think you would expect them to go for it.
|
|
By:
risk averse = boring

In Test Cricket, you have to get the batsmen out, on ODI cricket you don't, although it helps.
|

By:
back to the anderson wickets, in all truth if you were looking a batsman reaching total number of test runs milestone, we'd probably be looking at it combined with his average and number of centuries.
if we look at anderson's average and his 5 wicket hauls, it's not that great. it's a still great achievement, but the seemingly endless hype seems to be presenting it as something much bigger than it actually is. |
|
By:
13 overs left, I think windies going to hold on here
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Just got involved for first time in this match. Backed the draw so hoping WI can hold on.
|
|
By:
England have forgotton how to win, you should be safe, with that bet jewell
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
same sort of average as both trouble is both could bat
|
|
By:
market still thinks England win. it will collapse into 1.2 like a ton of bricks if they get this wicket
|
|
By:
well if they could get Holder out, the chances are, England would still have a good chance
|
|
By:
England are a joke. They should be rolling over this WI side with the minimum of fuss.
|
|
By:
holder not gettig out
|
|
By:
west indies doing this comfortably
|
he's **** at test cricket
