First Test: West Indies v England, Antigua, April 13-17.

[backfootpunch]

in situations like this the umpires should step in and tell the bowling team to get a move on

where is ian gould when you need him?

[rich1uk]

given that broad has been batting like a 5 year old girl recently I am not sure I would bother letting him bat if we lose another wicket here

[rich1uk]

if it was me I would give it another 30 minutes or when next wicket falls then declare

[andy]

not worth sending Broad in IMO... declare at next wicket, doubt it will be long, before it falls..

[mikesiva]

Benn gets his century!

In the first innings Buttler was trying to play like top order test batsman and failed. Now he's playing his normal game and in the style that attracted the selectors in the first place.

[Alviro Patterson]

Benn gets his century!

Takes one for the team, a proper player.

i think they will bowl this old ball into the ground now... cant see Roach and Taylor being asked to run in now..

Might as well give Shiv an over

Declaration can't be too far away now.

Doubt it, the WICB want to make sure this game goes well into Day 5 to ensure ticket sales.....

[rich1uk]

Declaration can't be too far away now.

as I said above I would declare about half and hour before tea or when next wicket falls

that would give our opening bowlers a 20 minute spell before tea to steam in knowing they are going to get a break and can do the same after tea with a ball that's only 4-5 overs old

[rich1uk]

if we bat til tea aidan's cat might be getting a contract

[rich1uk]

that's missing comfortably

I see cricinfo shows WI have no referrals left but I thought the bowling side gets 2 referrals restored after 80 overs.
