All we need now is a quick breakthrough in the morning and hopefully we can then go on to win this test.

Re: Cricket
 

Hope the weather forecast is ok today and England can press home their advantage. Was concerned that they would treat WI lightly, certainly the bowlers haven't. Chanderpaul is a machine though :eek:

Re: Cricket
 

The west indies side Chanderpaul aside are a p--- poor test side not sure Sammy is the right captain for them,Ramnaresh Sarwan is over here scoring a century for Leicestershire in his current match but deemed not good enough to get into this West Indies side very bizzare indeed he should be playing for west indies not Leicestershire.

They also need to patch things up with Gayle and get him back in, which from what i hear may be on the cards ,as he has pulled out of his 20/20 contract with Somerset due to "international commitments " so that may be about to happen,Chanderpaul needs some help out there,it was embarassing nobody could stick around with him in the first innings to allow his century.

Its a shame the West Indies board cannot get its head together.

However England look a sure bet to beat the west indies team put before them later today if not by lunch.:)

Half-centuries from Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Marlon Samuels help West Indies into the lead in the first Test at Lord's and they are currently 202-4.
