A few more than our lads (t'Yorksha lads afore anyone asks) have scored runs in this innings so far. Not a great start but when the Windies have a spin bowler on before lunch on the first day what does that say about the wicket? When the Windies have a spinner in the team what does that tell you anyway?

England have taken the safe option. Dont want to risk a potentially expensive spinner but equally potentially dangerous. Dont want to risk a new style of pace bowler because he is different (wood). Do want a new unproven opener because that is acceptance that they were wrong and hey, they dont want to upset trott (probably the second best number three we have atm, but that is possibly due to us having no one tried and tested, one injury and i guess taylor steps up) oh and they won't want to change to plunkett in case they come across as being a short pitched side.

Windies out for 189. Six wickets for wee Jimmy Anderson. Well ahead of Botham now. Will anybody ever catch him?
Trott fails again. Out for 9.
And Cook out for 4. WTF?  Angry
