Default 2nd Test - England v Windies

Well, this is the match. Win this and we are promoted up 1 place in the rankings, lose and we will be ridiculed as losing to a team who no longer care about test cricket.

It's a benign pitch, 500 seems a fair declaration, I believe they're using this test to see how the fast guys get on with a view to the Ashes.

Ravi must have sealed his Ashes spot

What with Bell off the scene who will you be focusing on this summer

It came dangerously close to a come back for this test. He's doing the same old routine, scoring heavily for the county so the selectors give him ANOTHER chance and name him in the squad.....

I think it will take the Ashes to get anyone other than the usual crowd to post up on the cricket threads

Well not a bad day yesterday, declared at the right time and then got a few wickets.

Shame to see KP throw his wicket away though, he was looking good till then.

Should be a great last days play, weather permitting

Not a bad day in the office yesterday for the boys, they must be exhausted after fielding for 2 innings but it's the only way of going for the win.
