I know that the World Cup has attracted criticism for including teams of low ability but it's good to be reminded that cricket is played in more places around the globe than might be supposed.

It's official then. The Jamaican police say that Bob Woolmer was murdered.

Without wishing to belittle Englands fine score in this test i find it rather sad that W Indies are a pale shadow of a team compared to the teams in the past especially in the bowling dept  Undecided

But Panesar is the first English spinner to take ten wickets in a test match since Tuffers in '97! At last, we do have a spinner capable of winning matches.  Cheesy

I don't usually care too much about such things, but I actually got quite cross yesterday when Monty got awarded the Man of the Match. Don't get me wrong, I love Monty and he did a decent job with the ball, but ... OK, he took 10 wickets in the match, but wasn't Darren Sammy's performance in the second innings at least as worthy? 7 for 66 on debut, first St Lucian test player, etc. I'd argue, actually, that in the context of the game Monty's performance wasn't all that great - everything on the last day (pitch, weak batting side, etc) was in his favour, yet he still made quite a meal of it. And if he hadn't dropped Chanderpaul on 18, the match would have been over about 3 sessions earlier.

And speaking of Chanderpaul - what an innings! Monty's negative contribution aside, he single-handedly turned an easy England victory into quite a tense finish. Transformed the character of the game - and, with Sammy, transformed perceptions of this WI side as lacking in fight and backbone. Let's hope the team can build on these examples.

Maybe there's some unspoken rule that the MoM has to be from the winning side, but I reckon there were two WI players more deserving.

TR-J,

I quite agree.  Sammy and Chanders were outstanding.  Heavy weather made of it all by England.....

As Australian has just sent me this:

Quote from: some jumped-up southerner
BREAKING NEWS

New ICC rulings

Following the crushing defeat of England, the International Cricket
Council has imposed a new set of rules for future Ashes series to make
the contest more even.


1) As a result, England has been granted an automatic wickie, freeing
up wicket keeper Chris Read/Geraint Jones/Paul Nixon/Allan Knott to
defend the boundary. Under the rule, Australian batsmen will be deemed
out "caught behind" if the ball nicks their bat and lands in the
immediate area behind the wicket. The rule is a compromise from the
original English proposal which had pushed for automatic slips as well.

The ICC refused that request on the grounds that "someone has to go and
get the ball when an Australian misses it."


2) In addition, Australia is under strict "tip and run" restrictions
which require they take a run off every ball they hit. Ricky Ponting
was happy to accept this, as it meant no change to his current game
plan. As a compromise, it was agreed that the Australians will also
have to shout out the word "wickets" when completing a run to make run
out decisions by umpires easier.

3) Following his outstanding performance in
Perth/Sydney/Melbourne/Hobart etc, Australian wicketkeeper Adam
Gilchrist has "six and out" restrictions imposed on him. As well,
following complaints from English fielders, Gilchrist will have to get
the ball if it leaves the playing arena.


4) Instead of using a bat, Matt Hayden & Ricky Ponting will now be
obliged to use their arm with a jumper wrapped around it.


5) New rules for England include "one hand, one bounce" while they are
fielding, and the provision of "last man carries" when they are
batting.


6) The English tried to extend the "can't get out first ball" provision
to "can't get out first ten overs", but the ICC proclaimed that the
extra runs gained would hardly be worth the effort. Australian captain
Ricky Ponting has vigorously opposed the "last man carries" rule and
has launched an appeal.

Ponting says Australia will only agree to the rule if there are
electric wickets at the end, allowing Aussie fielders to throw to the
stumps at either end.


7) English pace bowler Saj Mahmood will also be allowed to wrap the
ball's seam with electrical tape when he's bowling in the second
innings.

8.) The spokesperson added there will be "no LB" for English batsmen
unless "it is really, really obvious."


9) Brett Lee has conceded that its "fair enough" that he has to bowl
underarm (but not molly grubbers) to the English tail end.


10) If England decides that Steven Harmison is to be given an over, the
umpire will deem the Australian batsmen as dismissed if Harmison lands
the ball anywhere on the pitch. Captain Ricky Ponting has no problems
with this change, as the probability of such a dismissal occurring is
infintessinately small.

I wonder what Zimbabwe have to say about that
