  1. @Bandon_Decker You do get the feeling that a wicket is imminent . . .
  2. 1st Tweet of the Test! Stupid work... What a match! Over by lunch or will Marlon & Darren repeat their 1st innings heroics? Who knows. 72-6.
  3. @Doonhamer72 Bres is a top player - and his record (12 wins/12) can't be denied! But as a bowler, Finn is the classiest around.
  4. @SallyChocQueen Indeed! Alas...However, their Test players performed admirably, as they did against Aus. Very good signs for the future.
  5. @madclarinet Precisely! Excellent Test match cricket. We want to see a fight - that's what it's all about, no?
  6. @Doonhamer72 I fancy Finn may get the nod at Trent Bridge...now he'd be a handful. Memories of Holding, Garner & Ambrose could be reversed.
  7. @TestMatchDan I'm still hoping to get to the SAfrica Test somehow. May have to hope for a 5th day as well though!
  8. @Doonhamer72 Oh, I get that! When KP fell I was in Abu Dhabi again... However Eng showed grit and class today and it is only the 1st Test.
  9. @RockhamptonRams @lashingsworldxi Ha! Look forward to it! Best of luck chaps.
  10. @Doonhamer72 An easy whitewash would've done little to prepare us for the arrival of Steyn, Morkel & Philander. I'm happy!
  11. @Doonhamer72 I think it was just rustiness. I'm sure Eng will improve as series goes on. Better to have a contest leading upto SA series.
  12. @TestMatchDan Awesome Dan! I had to work so your uptake was much appreciated! You must've had an awesome day - SO jealous! Rebecca.
  13. @RockhamptonRams @LashingsWorldXI Done! Good luck - wish we could be there.
  14. Away from the Test, anyone in the Glos/Wilts area @RockhamptonRams are hosting @LashingsWorldXI this Friday...get down there if you can!
  15. So, a very good win for England. More importantly perhaps, FIGHT from the Windies. Good for Eng ahead of SA but also for the global game.
  16. Over and out from Lords. Sorry I haven't replied. I'll make sure I do so later on. Thanks for the company!
  17. Bell clips Samuels through mid wicket and England win by 5 wickets! #EngvWI
  18. Brilliant partnership of 132. Won England the match. #EngvWI
  19. Oh Cooky... Cuts one straight to gully with just two runs needed. Lords rises for a magnificent 79. Well batted Ali. #EngvWI
  20. 10 to win.
