I thought the declaration was a fair one to be honest.

I think Peter Moores and the selectors are going to struggle to get themselves out of this hole they're in wtr to the openers. Rushing Trott back in and Cook in a poor vein of form. Tricky one to drop the skipper and the man they've 'sponsored'.

There is a strong probability of heavy rain tomorrow. Cock might regret delaying the declaration.
All will be revealed then.

Drop cook and we haven't got any openers at all! I don't think they can afford to. The captaincy however is a different matter all together.

Apparently a week or so ago Moores and Cock* hadn't discussed the other opening batsman! Can't find the link now, but will endeavour.
* sounds like a famous comedy duo. Oh, they are, I hear you say.

I've got to admit after listening to the great man for years she sounds like a hell of a player!Boycott "my mother and a stick of rhubarb would do better than Cook and Trott"

Let's dig her up, then, and hurry down to the greengrocers asap.

And the 2nd. Saunders' patience had gone in the last over.

I suspect the West Indies have got a lot of money on England winning the Test. I'm only on cricinfo but it seems the batsmen are on self-destruct mode.
England presumably keeping to their game plan.
Not often they take a 1-0 lead after the 1st Test.

Jimmy's done it. 3 to go and about 18 overs left.
A draw - In the end the Windies made a good job of securing it - pitch was slow and low - however, for once the fields were attacking - however the bowling was a bit one dimensional - a lightning fast quick in the Johnson mode or a good attacking spinner might have made a difference - on to Grenada all square on Tuesday
