If it hadn't been for KP we'd be on par with them. Bell again failed, Bresnan was put in for his batting and well. We've got to get them out cheaply and knock them over. Sod the Olympics I can't wait for the summer's cricket.

Couldn't agree more, who cares if Olympic archery is at Lords - we want to see cricket there ! Especially from the Edrich stand, behind the bowlers arm, with a pint of something cold on a hot summer's day.

I think Brezza & Anderson will have to reverse swing it in the 2nd inns, unless Mahela J. gets out early doors, in which case it should be a bit easier.

Good, the DRS worked and as much I wanted to see Jayawardene out it was good see the system doing what its meant to. Come on England.

Told you Tim the talisman would bring us luck. Nice to see Swanny back to somewhere near his best. Roll on UK summer & Windies....

oops, forgot I was logged in as our lass. (Should replied as Hawkmoon77)

Swann bowled some amazing deliveries. A very good result all round and should give us a positive attitude to go into the summer.

Yup, listening to TMS on BBC4 long-wave while sitting in sunshine in the cours and sipping Cotes du Rhone. It'll be rough.

For the cricket connoisseur, the Bridgetown test is coming to the boil nicely. Australia to chase 192 for victory on the 5th day in 60 overs on a wearing pitch.

Who's your money on ?

No money on it, Australia. By 6 wkts. Ponting for a duck.

Wisden is out tomorrow. Anyone still get it?

It's not very funny.

Well the summer's cricket is here, although by the looks of Windies players its still winter. They had about 3 jumpers on each. Still Broad looked good although a little expensive.

Still 243-9 after the first day isn't a bad start. That's just 2.7 runs per over. I suspect England can do better than that. (Although I could be wrong of course).

If they can swing it about I think England could find it tough going. Still, it was lovely hear the familiar voices of the Sky announcers gently wafting from my tv, especially Bumble.

Ah, I just used the graunaid's OBO to follow events. I look forward to listening to TMS on BBC4 1500 LW when I get to France in 5 weeks.
