This is the Windies' biggest defeat ever in Test cricket.
It is also England's 3rd biggest victory, behind only the following:
June 1974: England (629) beat India (302 & 42) by an innings & 285 runs. August 1938: England (903/7 declared) beat Australia (201 & 123) by an innings and 579 runs.
Australia were had 2 batsmen absent (including Donald Bradman), and India had 1 batsman absent hurt in the second innings.

Unfortunately, this match shows how poor the Windies are rather than England being good. Still, you can only beat what's put in front of you and the fact England are doing that convincingly is encouraging.
There could be some headaches for the selectors if Flintoff and Hoggard are fit for the 3rd test. Sidebottom doesn't deserve to be dropped after his performance and Plunkett may miss out instead, though I'd bet money on him playing the 4th test at the Riverside. Flintoff will surely play if fit, but who gets dropped? I would probably say Ian Bell, though Strauss hasn't done much in this series so far.

the worst west Indies team ever yes there young but i don't think they have much talent anyway awful shot selection and they cant bowl line and length odds on KP to score another ton next time out.

Sidebottom may only get the swing on that pitch though, so he may go?

I suppose it'll come down to whether Michael Vaughan reckons he can get the job done elsewhere.
Flintoff is looking doubtful for the 3rd test...

Onions is doing well. What price 4 Durham players in the side for the final test?
I'd feel very sorry for Sidebottom if he was left out for the next test. He bowled much better than Plunkett and Harmison at Headingley.

Bell has made 77no, and Prior made 40 to pick us up to 296-7 I think, be interesting to see how we bowl now?
