This test is another example of how flat pitches are killing cricket all over the world. That'd have to be one of the flattest 4th day pitches I've ever seen.

Unless West Indies have a complete brain explosion with the bat, a draw is a foregone conclusion.

All over, England raced home in the end with 9 wickets to spare.

Gotta love the poms ripping into Samuels when their own mob are some of the worst behaved in world cricket. The problem I have though is that Samuels only seems to get going when someone gets under his skin, where is all that motivation otherwise? Playing for himself clearly.

I thought this match was headed for a draw until Anderson stepped up and bowled one of his spells where the wickets come in clumps.
Windies collapsed woefully after so much stubborn resistance.
Another 50 for Cook but he still can't get that ton.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Disgraceful days play from the Windies

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Windies folded like a cheap deck chair.

... and this is anything new?

The original Calypso Collapso was in the 1996 semi (some could also argue the 1983 final), and it's been happening ever since. Sad really, you'd think just playing old tapes of their legendary days would be inspiring enough for them.
