Well done lads. I think that was a pretty good effort considering the amount of cloud hanging around. It was definitely bowlers conditions!

Cook is going to be a great player in a few years time. Hard to believe that he is so young!

I can't get very excited about this series. I'm afraid that most of the the West Indies team are prime examples of how talent is useless without hard work and commitment. (Clive Lloyd said something similar, so I'm not being racist).  

Our fifth team (and probably our fifteenth and twenty-fifth) would beat 'em, so who cares whether Freddie plays.

I think we will win too but I think WI will step up a bit more. They have been down for too long and have a handful of exceptional cricketers in Chanderpaul, Saran, Gayle and Bravo. Two of them are good allrounders and Jerome Taylor is similar to Brett Lee or Shaun Tait, raw fast bowling talent who will mature into a very menacing bowler!

I'll be disappointed with anything less than a whitewash.

Simon Barnes sums it up in The Times. "A shambling apology for a Test team."

It's embarrassing, bad for the sport to have such a hopeless mismatch, and just very sad.

Hoggy is off injured and Harmison/Plunkett have forgotten how to bowl again.

Windies now 350-6

Rain basically wipes out the last days play and we have a draw.

We batted like Kings and bowled like paupers. (with the exception of Monty)

Have to bring Alan Donald in as bowling coach. Since Troy Cooley was replaced with Kevin Shine the best bowling quartet in the world have turned to wide bowling, low on confidence, injured, ill-disciplined, unhappy wasters.

Hopefully there's more of a results pitch at Headingley too, because we are definitely the better team
