vs Narine hes scored 8(67) across the entire tour and been dismissed twice by him. Hasn't fared much better against the pace of Roach/Rampaul/Edwards either.

So persist with Brownlie? Do you have a solution?

I think hes looked so poor this tour so, backed up by those statistics from TT Boy, he can't possibly be persisted with. Doesn't help that BJ Watling's the only other batting option and hes under an injury cloud - fingers crossed hes fit enough to take his place in the second test.

Yeah, it's an easy game from the sofa of course and every batsman is vulnerable when he's new to the crease but you'd still hope that a Test player would get the basics right. Williamson might be one of those who either gets nought or plenty.

Yeah, to an extent. He's known as being a bit of a poor starter. Not entirely sure why he would be, because technically I'd say he's the best in the country. Don't know if it's nerves, over/under confidence, not concentrating fully or something else.

Anyway, very, very disappointing capitulation by us. I haven't seen much of today's play, but after generally applying ourselves well with the bat throughout the test we were lacking today.
Something I've noticed that bugs me - the number of good shots we hit straight to fielders. Guptill, Williamson and Brownlie in the first innings all hit a lot of drives for none where they could have got four.

Even you, his most ardent detractor, could acknowledge his runs at 6-7 have demanded a spot consistently for a long time now. His bowling is not much chop at all but where are the guys beating the door down? Tarun? Nah uh. Todd Astle? Anyone else?
Fact is we could have competed in this Test with a good spinner. And one of those is not at all near forthcoming.

Happy for West Indies fans. Good result for cricket.

No point having a spinner just for the sake of it, we would be better off playing a batsman that can also roll his arm over.

WindieWeathers to come in and bleat about how useless Sammy's bowling was, and if someone better was playing they would have won by an innings, and how if Gayle had played in England he would have scored 1000 runs and beaten us 3-0, and how Narine is the next Warne. The ****.
I miss him.
