pitch report

pitch reportWe run the rule over the venue for the second Test at Trent Bridge, where lateral movement is likely to dumbfound the Windies batsmen...

soapbox

soapboxMichael Holding's begun to use the phrase "with my West Indies hat on" with something approaching pride - a good sign, notes Peter May...

What the papers sayThe gents of the press give credit to an improving West Indian side, herald Ian Bell's emergence from a dark winter and name the "best anonymous batsmen in the world"...

bonehead says...

maybe it is in English culture to not to bat properly or bravely, only they know that .. lol this comes from the supporter of a team whose batsmen have a certain aversion to fast bowling.
