Word is Gayle is flying over to England tomorrow, and should be playing in the 3rd test.  We'll see how that rumour turns out.  Folks back home here always get all the latest update before the media does.  We knew Tino Best was heading England way before the news was released.

On the test match, i'm proud of windies, didn't think the test would have lasted until day 5.  191 wasn't going to be enough, England bats to #10.  Windies bowling has been really commendable recently.  Even Sammy has been nipping out top quality batsmen.  Kemar Roach has been outstanding since the Australian ODI's.  They need Ravi Rampaul in, Fidel Edwards out.  Shannon Gabriel is going home injured, Shillingford should play ahead of him, but hey, we know what Trent Bridge is famous for.  Going by that, I expect England to do much better.  Can't see Anderson bowling any better though, he got the ball to swing wickedly at Lord's.  Bowled much better than Broad as far as i'm concerned, but not lucky enough.

Shillingford = Saqlain!!! lolzzz, Shilling won't mind that though!

There are calls for Gayle to join the squad early as his IPL franchise are knocked out of the competition, will the selectors respond though?

Haha! To equate Shillingford to Saqlain is a big compliment to the former!

WI did miss out, but to be fair they put up a fight and they will certainly be respected greatly for their dogged batting in the second innings. Much like the Australia series, they look excellent in some sessions but can't maintain and intensity for long periods. Samuels and Chanderpaul are the key players, as they are both able to knuckle down and place a great value on their wickets. Can the top order emulate their efforts?]]> Tue, 22 May 2012 15:31:15 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5974&PID=221151#221151 Current Matches : West Indies in England (2012) http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5974&PID=221150#221150 Author: zuhair_abbasi

Did I miss something here?

I think Bresnan will play in Nottingham purely because it is such a swing bowler's ground - if it was more like a 1970's Oval pitch then Finn would be the man.]]> Tue, 22 May 2012 09:06:56 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5974&PID=221149#221149 Current Matches : English Domestic Season 2012 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5940&PID=221148#221148 Author: Sledger

Comfortable in the end , but not before a typical wobble from the English top order.  The positive approach in the run chase was especially pleasing after the nightmare against Pakistan , but the difference in quality of the two attacks is huge. Roach is a real speedster and at the batsmen all the time , but he lacked support.  Saqlain wouldn't have got much turn , but his psychological effect on the batsmen might just have caused further jitters.  Maybe a spinner should be included for Trent Bridge for this reason alone , but it's swing that wins matches in Nottingham.  Expect Anderson to be top English wicket taker up there and if Rampaul's fit , for him to make inroads as well.
                England should win and win well , but they're still not firing on all cylinders. Bresnan might find himself on the sidelines even though his record now reads - tests played 12 - test wins 12 !!  He bowled alright , but Finn or Onions might well be more effective.    It probably won't happen - this team doesn't swap and change , especially after winning , but it should be discussed.
   A final thought - does anyone agree with me that the best way to unsettle Cook is to bowl from around the wicket?  He seems to play at deliveries that should be left well alone.
