Schedule May 2007 Thu 17 - Mon 21 1st Test - England v West Indies Lord's, London Fri 25 - Tue 29 2nd Test - England v West Indies Headingley, Leeds June 2007 Thu 7 - Mon 11 3rd Test - England v West Indies Old Trafford, Manchester Fri 15 - Tue 19 4th Test - England v West Indies Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street

I'll start with one. 3pts S.Chanderpaul Top West Indies Series Runscorer 10/3 Stan James West Indies arrive in England without their talisman Brian Lara and with another key batsman in awful form in Chris Gayle. Ramnaresh Sarwan skippers the side now and the extra burden on him could prove significant. Shivnerine Chanderpaul has been there done it and got a wardrobe full of T-shirts. He is solid as a rock and very tough to get out. Having played in English conditions before Chanderpaul will know exactly what to expect and at 10/3 represents a fair price for his ability. Youngsters Runako Morton and Dwayne Bravo could go well but Chanderpaul ticks all the boxes and we'll take him for top Windies batsman.

Re: Cricket: England vs West Indies Test Series Splendid, just checked the Pay TV site over here and I get telecasted so I can follow the action and join you for this one. Very much like the look of the Chanderpaul bet here. Sarwan is a danger but as you say the captaincy can well prove to be a burden. Don't exactly know a great deal about the Windies team but from the World Cup Taylor looked a decent conditions bowler so might have to take a closer look at that one (I haven't even checked if he's selected). I also have a love obsession with Kevin Pietersen who I love to blindly back for top series runs but I have this funny feeling that maybe Bell end will perform well against an ordinary attack. Don't mind the look of a drawn series either, what with the crap weather you blokes have and both teams the height of mediocrity. Christ you could let Chanderpaul bat for 2 days and he'd barely get 200!
