There is something reassuringly comical about England's first test away performances.

A good Caribbean cricket side is good for world cricket......Very good youth sides but the talent isn't consistently translating into the test area....probably suffering the same twenty twenty problems affecting all sides.

Perhaps we are witnessing an improvement in the West Indies.

Lost by nearly 400 runs.

Utterly pathetic showing in every department. After all the big talk before going out there to win in the West Indies for the first time since the late Cretaceous it has been a total embarrassment.

True....But come on...not even a chuckle? Half chuckle even?

I hope so,and with today's win I hope we can keep improving.

The day the Windies can take on the might of England,Australia,India and South Africa is the day the Windies are back as test match team.

After the match West Indies Cricket chief Johnny Grave complained that Flintoff and Boycott were 'borderline disrespectful'.....seriously? Does he really want to live in a world where Geoffrey Boycott isn't borderline disrespectful?

That's Boycott's whole personality.

The two points I would make are firstly that it's about time that Boycott was pensioned off as he must do more to put young people off cricket than anyone as youngsters aren't interested in listening to some old buffer constantly going on about players in pre history and secondly after Flintoff's comment that a player like Holder should never be allowed to get a double century someone pointed out that Holder's batting average was higher than Flintoffs and his bowling average lower so perhaps he shouldn't be making comments like that

Flintoff was playing against better bowlers and batsman in an era that took test cricket more seriously.

Perhaps if someone or a group of people don't like some of your views and can find fault in them you shouldn't be making comments either.

Or rather how about this....society is comprised of all types....let everybody speak and their popularity will dictate who is listened to.

I'd prefer that.....Boycott is popular.

Here we go again, 34/3 after 15.4 overs

At least Rooty was dismissed by a snorter.
