Harmison in for Sidebottom and Swan in for Monty. Start delayed due to over night rain.

well after a lot of hassle and verbal from me, Gav is now a maybe, he is going to see how he feels later :-)

Akeem said.... 'I'll play if it's on. No answer from SS'

i dont think there is anything wrong with protesting inside the stadium, the players already know we are all p***ed off with lowe etc so wont make them play any different. Plus the board cant draw the curtains and pretend we are not there

trying to get my brother to come as well. Numbers not looking good at the moment :-(

ok, gav is now out, he is "ill" dont worry ive given him stick for it

millbrook, shirley warren, coxford, merryoak, thornhill, parts of sholing, weston..in fact most of southampton

that many???

Lets see if we can get past 2 overs this time Harmison could be re-called to the side because the pitch is expected to be lively, so would that mean that Anderson misses out again? Harsh on him if thats the case.

and no, not a chance

no, you dont go at all.

can we sticky this please mods, and remove the other one.

yep thats my 3 also

me.

saw this on topgear before, still makes me laugh

clueless

yes i heard that too. didnt say it was good things though :-(

add a plus 1 for me as well.

gav is in too

well yet another show of inept tactics from yet another inept lowe appointment. its all well and good mr lowe saving money here, there and everywhere but surelt even he can see that relegation will not save us money!!! time to go

yes please mate

bit harsh, and a pointless question.

i agree but i cant see that happening. From the looks of it they were trying to dig up the bowlers run ups and lay fresh turf but that wont work either, there was still too much sand underneath and not enough soil for the roots of the grass to take effect, if they couldnt have done a decent job in the weeks leading up to the test then there is no way they can do a "grass roots" job over night. The ARG is barely playable. The only solution i can see is back to back tests at the next venue, Barbados i believe, but that will obviously cause trouble with those fans that travelled to Antigua and the fact that accomodation in Barbados is already fully booked. Which ever way you look at it, its a **** up on a global scale and quite frankly, one that should not have happened.

award the game to us imo. A test nation having a ground like that, "that they have know about for weeks" and did nothing apart from roll it, is disgusting and an embarressment to the sport
