England won the toss and have elected to Bat.

James Anderson has been recalled to the 11.

Why?... In place of whom?

 

[Richy_Seagull]

In place of Simon Jones.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Jones looked very much off the pace last time round, he needs a spell in the county game.

Batting first on a flat pitch in these conditions? We could really put the West Indies on the back foot from day one but I still think it'll be a draw.

 

[Trigger]

Is Jones injured then?... Fair enough Anderson gets the occasional wicket by he also nearly always gets spanked around the park.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Anderson has been looking good recently. We have Flintoff and Giles to keep the scoring down, Anderson and Greivous Bodily Harmison can blast the wickets away.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Forgot about Hoggard.


Our seam attack looks a little bit special nowadays, eh boys?

 

[Marc]

marvelous, cricket on the headphones, henry blofield (sp?) the LEGEND doing the commentary currently...all I need is a beer and to actually be there and it would be genius!

17-0

 

[CHAPPERS]

Anyone know what time lunch starts/ends? I'm gonna pop home and catch a bite and watch a bit of CRICKET.

ps Tresco on 15, it'as about time he played a rash shot and got out innit?

 

[Trigger]

12:30 to 1:10 i think lunch is...

 

[CHAPPERS]

Cool. Should catch a good 45 minutes then.

Marvellous scenes.

 

[Marc]

10 fours off 11 overs.....flying along!

 

[CHAPPERS]

50 up.

 

[CHAPPERS]

77/0 from 16 overs.

Trescothick reaches 50.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Strauss goes for 24.

79/1

Trescothick 51*
Key 0*

 

[CHAPPERS]

100/1

Tresco 57*
Key 14*

 

[Brovion]

Getting back to the team I hope Flintoff's ok. What's the latest on his bone spur problem? I'd MUCH rather he didn't play another day's cricket this summer, had an op or whatever and was 100% fit to face the Aussies. Next year we don't want him only half-fit or broken-down completely.

 

[Trigger]

Pie Man Key gone for 29, c Lara b Collins.

129/2

 

[Marshy]

For a man that got a double hundred in his last match he looked out of sorts and nervous his whole innings.
