England vs Windies - 1st Test @ Jamaica

England won the toss and elected to bat. Not a fruitful decision so far. England are 96-4.

KP is still out there not out on 38. Lets see if he lets his bat do the talking after being removed from the captaincy. Flintoff is on the other end. Have to see if these 2 can take England to a respectable first innings total.

Wow. What an incredible hour of Test match cricket. England are in a timewarp here. It is 1986 and the ghost of Patrick Patterson is howling through the stands, grinning like a madman and yelling "in ya face!" to every single Englishman in the ground. Wonderful stuff. Time for a change. Here's Will Luke to take over the comms.

You mean 'GREAT' England 26/7

England, though, are disconsolate. It's their third-lowest Test total (their second-lowest of 46 came here in the Caribbean in 1994) and today their batsmen have lacked application and intent, against Jerome Taylor whose 5 for 11 won't be forgotten for a while.

Well, what a breathless, brilliant day of Test cricket for West Indies who win by an innings-and-23-runs. Gayle receives handshakes (and a hug) from Pietersen and then salutes the crowd who, to a man, are standing and applauding this rare win at Sabina Park. It's just pure elation for West Indies out there - almost disbelief.

Taylor was exceptional today. His 5-for set the tone. I really wanna see the h/l now. But Eng shouldn't worry, WI play like this once in a blue moon. They'll return the favor next time.

So is someone going to declare the English players jokers/chokers and charsees. :rotfl:

Re: England vs Windies - 1st Test @ Jamaica

Just like Pakistani jokers who are more used to crumbling.
