1st Test: West Indies v England at North Sound

Console yourself by repeating that over and over: You will be fine !

OR as the good Doc says : "take 2 aspirins and call me in the morning"  ::LOL::

Kevin Pietersen was challenged to rack up runs in domestic cricket to stand any chance of an unlikely return to the England team after a year away from the international game.

He couldn't have started any better.

In his first game for Surrey since re-signing for the county to revive his international prospects, Pietersen struck 170 off 149 balls on the opening day of a three-day friendly match against Oxford MCCU at The Parks.

Remembering Malcolm Marshall’s Manchester Mayhem when his bowling figures read 22/7. http://ow.ly/KrvfQ

If Cook's 100 against St. Kitts & Nevis counted for something then so does Pietersen's against Oxford.

He is going to get cooked

and the odda BROADsided with Shivster cutlass  ::LOL::

WICB will have some unavoidable reason to schedule it from Monday to Friday. If only they showed half the interest shown by the government to promote the game.

I fear a meltdown episode coming with You  :-[

Oh boy ! I can see anodda bout of meltdown coming Mailman :

Signs and symptoms appear similar to last episode.

Chair , Lock all dem threads or at least 20: per Calypso's last count  ::LOL::

Quote:[size=12pt] England’s first Test against West Indies, in the somewhat soulless stadium of North Sound in Antigua, will be James Anderson’s 100th – and the 12 previous players to have reached this mark have mostly been batsmen.

Four more wickets, to add to Anderson’s total of 380, will take him ahead of Sir Ian Botham as England’s leading wicket‑taker in Tests. [/size]
