Well, not a lot of interest in this series, is there?! I was the last poster on here, and that was a few days ago.
Perhaps there just is too much one-day cricket now…
Anyway, you can see with what's going on out there in this second chapter how very exceptional, and even uncharacteristic (?), that Windies performance was the other day. They were gritty and determined. And patient. For once.

It is after the Lord Mayor's Show. The prominent England players have avoided it too.

Livingston now in for his bowling rather than his batting is the most remarkable thing for me. Windies were very poor in the final qualifiers for the WC against the minnows, so it is a hiding to nothing for England.

I think the WC debacle killed it for many to be fair.

Dreadful start by England. Salt and Crawley gone. Currently 9-2

Didn't even know there was a game

Butler shoring up a collapsing Eng innings in his usual fashion...such a weak captain :/

England look hopeless, WI have been excellent.

Shoaib Bashir called up to our test squad.

I’d never heard of him, so googled him. 20 year old offspinner that has played 6 First Class games.

Either this guy is a prodigious talent, or we’re struggling to find players to pick.

Or he’s signing for Surrey next year :-)

It is called net practice.
