Have i been seeing things?
Does Chanderpaul actually have advertising on his cheekbones ??

Isn't it just the West Indies cricket flag?
Anyway, I don't know if Lara will bat at all in this test...he's got an injured finger, apparently, and isn't on the field.
England 9/240 - Anderson and Hoggard in.

yeah, i thought it was like what the baseballers wear to darken the reflection of the lights...
but there are no lights, and his skin is as dark as coal.
he's batting now.
Lara's out caught in the slips by Flintoff - seemed to be a poor decision by Taufel. Looked like the ball came off the pad and missed the bat by a fair bit.
Windies may not see out the day now. 3/101

I think there was a slight nick there, but I was hoping Lara would get at least 20 to make up 10, 000 test runs. Oh well, next test I spose.
He choked in the 9990s 
j/k
It was a poor decision by Taufel, I thought, you can't give those out

Windies were never going to win, but I really hate to see the umpires caving in to the Poms constant appealling and giving so many awful decisions.
It really spoilt any chance the Windies had of saving this test. No way you could be 100% that Lara, Chanderpaul or Gayle were out. 3 very key decisions that should have gone in the batting teams favour...

Slow mo replay clearly showed Gayle edged the ball .
Totally the right decision...
Windies were never gonna bat for almost 2 days on that track..

He does,but I can't workout what it actually says.
In the ODI series before the tests,about 3 Windies batsmen had it under their eyes.It's bloody weird,but surely the I.C.C must've allowed it.
The Lara decision was very harsh, even if there was a slight edge onto pad it was impossible to be sure but I think the Gayle one was a good decision, the super slo mo camera showed that it went from pad to bat & I don't think you can ever criticise the ump for getting it right.
As for the Chanderpaul one, it looked a bit harsh but he'd been padding up to balls from Giles for a while, there was at least one other one that looked likely to hit & in those circumstances some umpires just have enough of it if you keep on using the pad on it's own (the commentator said that he's seen Hair give those ones before as well).
I beleive that it's just the name of the comapny that makes the reflectors, apparently he doesn't get paid to use them he just picked them up in New York where he spends a lot of time.

Senior List
The chanderpaul wicket was partly the result of good captaincy by vaughan, switching giles to hair's end.
Taufel had been giving nothing, Hair has a history of giving lbw's in those circumstances - bingo!
Giles has 18 wickets in two test matches - yes the West Indies really are that bad...
