Mike - I don't think the Wi wil complain about their total.. but {a} they wouldn't have expected to be 8 down with 10 overs to go... and {b} they would have hoped at least 1 top order bat would still be at the crease and batting with the tail.

If Lara and Best or Chanderpaul and Sandford had been batting at the close I'd have said it was an OK day for the Wi... but Collymore and Best facing the new ball with virtually no-one to come is pretty poor.
