    ross kemp is mental. a few minutes ago he said they'd been told not to go to an area because they might get kidnapped... but they went anyway because kemp wants to find these pirates!

    BACK TO THE CRICKET.

    Why do we pick 20/20 SPECIALISTS like Graham Napier and don't fecking play him. that 2 bob pinch hitter Owaiis Shah drives me mad.

    Spot on mate, although the team selection was questionable we'd have won if it hadn't rained.
    Also as BB said why pick the extra bowler and then choose to bat first when you know it's going to rain?!

    Not been home long. Had a great day, despite the result. Think you may agree we had pretty good seats today ;-)

    I was going to say you must have been just bellow us Johnboy but those dancers moved round so maybe not.

    Good day out but would rather have lost fair and square playing 20 overs each than that DL Lottery. No ones fault just the rules.

    We was sitting between the huge OCS stand and the pavilion, with the gas cylinder literally right behind us. I did notice a Charlton St George flag further to our left towards the pavilion on the advertising hoardings and wondered if it belonged to anyone on here.

    Now these rules. Ok, the cut time was 9pm and however many overs left for the WIndies would have to be bowled by 9pm. Now can someone explain to me why the cut off time is 9pm when they have blooming floodlights? I guess tv schedules are pretty tight but they always cope with extra time in the football and the prolonged penalty shoot outs. Why couldnt they have bowled another 11 overs? Football matches finish around 9.45pm and the Police dont have issue with it. Have England ever benefitted from duckworth lewis (apart from the WIndies coach's miscalculation back in the carribean in the Spring)?

    I personally blame Shah. Just hasnt done it.

    I'm really not sure the D/L method was applied correctly in this case. D/L gives par scores based on runs and wickets, so surely saying it was a target of 80 off 9 overs is over simplifying? I can't believe any statistical method would propose the 82-5 off 9 would result in a team scoring over 161 from 20. If the target was a simple as 80 off 9 then the West Indies could conceivably have finished on 81 for 9 and won, how can that be the equivalent of england's 161 for 6 from 20?

    Can't believe that result. South Africa the form team and Pakistan more inconsistent than England. Just shows what a good side they can be when they put their minds to it. What for tomorrow? West Indies v Sri Lanka. I fancy SL but has been proved today anything can happen!!!

    Roll on 8th July...
