Collapsing in style

By Will last year, at the end of December Leave a comment on this post

The collapse is rather like witnessing a pile-up on a motorway. You know you shouldn’t look - but the macabre is always a fascinating sight, if ugly and uncomfortable. The gruesome can be stylish, too, and the West Indies are true champions of collapsing in style. Pottering along at 122 for 2, they buckled to 146 for 8. Now that is true class.

They lead by 359, and Patrick reckons they will still win with two days to go. Hmm…
