Windies never lostat TB either, need early wickets or it'll be a long hot day in the field. Sun is up and shining.

Wasn't it the new design of the place that supposedly has had such an effect on swing, or was that BS? At least Swann now has one Test wkt there.

Not sure but it was a peach of a delivery for Swanns wkt. Too nice a day to spend indoors though so it might just be a quick update every now and then

Re: The Cricket Thread

That was a bloody great fightback by the Windies, they were seriously on the racks there. Anything over 300 is competitive and if they can reach 400 they will be in with a very good chance. Still this England team are more than capable of turning this around.
