records are made to be broken so I would play safe to ensure a result

You'd seriously want 750+ before declaring ? That's hilarious

450 on a 4th/5th day pitch is 99.9% certain to be too many.

Meaningless anyway, Windies win the series 2-1 or 2-0... It's the 2 that matters in a three Test series. The records will show only a home series win in the world rankings .

Not true. There are world ranking points for winning each test and a bonus for winning the series.

10/3

No need to say who got his third wicket

Not true. There are world ranking points for winning each test and a bonus for winning the series.

So, the Windies win 2 Tests and earn a bonus in the rankings and England earn a " Thanks for Coming " ..

It looks to me as if England will rue not heeding your advice. The Windies have rattled along on to 14-3 already.

31-4 Wood gets his first wicket of the second innings

@BG still nervous as we didn't set them 750 to win 'just to be sure'

And only 9 wickets to get given the injury to Keemo Paul who I assume will not bat

 

[BensGrandad]

At no time did I suggest 750 and how many did they set us in the last test for 4th innings.

 

[Beach Hut]

Wicket, mad running by Windies

76/5

110/6 Moeen strikes

Good win puts a little bit of respectability on the tour so far.

Apparently when Shannon Gabriel (he of the homophobic slurs) walked out to bat the Barmy Army welcomed him with a rousing rendition of YMCA. Chapeau.

 

[Gwylan]

Chapeau.
