[George Hannah]

Root gone

 

[moon]

100 for Bell

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

Stokes showing why he should be in this team, pleased as he has bags of talent.

Good fight back from England, credit where credit is due.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Belly pulled us out the shit again I see.

 

[moon]

341/5 at close
Bell out for 143
Stoakes 71 not out
not bad from 34/3

 

[Gray]

England back to normal, what a turgid pile of tripe.

Stuck in the crease with no foot movement, the coaching is awful.

What's the point of just hanging around, get on with it you pratts.

 

[Gray]

From 341 for 4 to 361 for 9 absolutely pitiful.

I preferred your puns mate

 

[waspish]

I'd love to get to the West Indies for a test series one day, hopefully to see I better series than this though. I've not seen a great deal of it so far but it seems like two pretty poor sides.

England have been solid, the Windies bowling was ok, their batting has been quite shit so far.

Getting out there for a series is on my bucket list, as much as i've always wanted to go to the Caribbean as much as the cricket, but may as well do them together.

 

[city saint]

stokes you twat why anyone pushes that far over the line ill never know.

 

[baildon blue]

I've been to Barbados for an holiday .
Never been to the Windies to watch cricket .
I did see the ground at Barbados but there was no Cricket that day .
Antigua looks really nice for this Cricket match .

 

[waspish]

why ECB did you bring Trott back ludicrous decision!

 

[moon]

West Indies 295 all out
104 Behind after first innings


England 25 for 2
Cook and trott out

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

School girl cricket that runout, shocking stuff. These 2 really need to put on a decent stand now get us up to a 250 lead and then Stokes and Butler can put their foot down and biff a few when they get in.

Balance is class. Good to see him hitting a bit of form ahead of a busy summer. Him, Root and Bell are a real classy 3,4 and 5.

Very true not a lot wrong with those 3, then we have Ali, Stokes and Butler coming in after them, there isnt a lot of problems if we start slowly as those 3 are natural stroke makers who will score fast enough. The opening slots are a real worry, cant keep exposing that middle order to the new ball. I'd understand the selection of Trott, if he was in form and back to what he was before his issues, but it doesnt appear he is. Cook has been figured out, just keep the ball up to him and he is a very limited batsman.

Not sure where KP would fit into this team to be honest. Which one of Ballance, Bell or Root would you drop for him?
