We had some bowling today. Batting insufficient though. But they saved the tour. Congrats to the youngsters.

After Friday's disaster, I was beginning to regret buying three tickets to Sunday's match. I thought of trying to sell the tickets, but it was too late in the day. So, with heavy heart, I took my missus and her best friend to the match at the Oval. And when our batting struggled to put on 112, I told my missus that we could leave after 10 overs had been bowled in the England innings. But I did not take the performance of the two debutants into my calculations....

Wonderful bowling by Mathurin and Santokie! Mathurin looks to me like a mirror image of Anthony Martin - a slow bowler who doesn't spin the ball much, but gets it wicket to wicket, and is hard to get away. When the England batsmen tried to swat him across the line, they were out bowled or lbw. And Santokie was a left-handed Fidel, bowling fast, slingy action, which the England batsmen hust couldn't pick up, and couldn't cope. With his left hand coming out of the umpire's chest, they just couldn't live with Santokie's pace.

The real dangermen were the openers Kieswetter and Hales, but it was only when Bopara was sent back to the pavilion that I started to believe. I danced in the Bedser stand every time an England wicket fell, and I've never danced so much in 17 overs!

The cocky England supporters became quiet, and with every run out, I could see about a dozen other WI supporters in the Bedser stand dancing also. I left the Oval singing 'Rally Round the West Indies', while the sad England fans shuffled out quietly. It was a great feeling....

Well done, guys!

That said, there were quite a few West Indians there. It is the Oval, after all....
