The pitch

Looking forward to seeing England have a bat here, by all accounts the outfield is pretty ‘sandy’ and the pitch is expected to play pretty well, if a little on the slow side. David Gower wishes Shah ‘well’, which is really nice of him, before suggesting that it will be a game of shorter run-ups because of this ropey outfield, meanwhile Botham takes the opportunity to kick at the ‘desert’, suggesting the game could well be called of because of the state of the tired looking terrain.

If its beach cricket we are playing, surely we should have Darren "the human pie" Gough and Adam Hollioake in the team

Just when you think West Indies cricket takes a step forward, they produce a "sand pit" for Test Cricket. I hope Ian Bell brought his bucket and spade with him!

Graeme Hick is a beach cricket champion, somehow I doubt Bell will make a big impression on the beachcricket scene.
