I miss the commentary when they're changing ends. Thay have adverts on now its on channel 4.

I like it better now that the West Indies don't spend such a long time making a run up to do fast bowling. Kirtley Ambose and Joel Garner used spend ages doing a run up, which made the over rate very slow.

However Shane Warne is the best bloke in the world to watch. Have you noticed when Waquar Younnis or somebody like that is making a run the crowd all make a noise during their run up. However Shane Warne is so intimidating a presence that he keeps both fans and other players silent.

The only trouble with the present series is that Shane Warne makes every other spin bowler look ordinary. Still he can't help not playing for the west indies or England.

we did see a Brian Lara century and that is as good as seeing a Pele goal.

If you think cricket is shite, you probably get off on East Enders and Emmerdale and know what everybody has to drink down the Rovers Return. Now that really is sad shite.
