Why the hell have they not declared already? Same as the last test, stumbling blindly towards some ridiculous figure, when they should really be declaring and busting a gut to get the required 20 wickets for a win.

If they can't skittle the Windies and they get a decent score it's a draw again, so why go in search of 600 and use up 2 days doing it? Once past 500 they should have slapped it around like it was the last overs of a twenty twenty in which they were miles behind.

See I was right. Can anyone sense another draw? They've been in the position to win both the last two tests and bombed them by being so conservative. Why not have a go at them for once?

So the Windies declare on a mere 749-9.

On this pitch batting it out shouldn't be a problem, but this is England.

Surely we have to give Rashid a go next match, we haven't got any match winning bowlers and at least this kid has the "potential" to be one.

A decent Test match pitch would be nice, these flat tracks are boring.
