**Official** England in the West Indies 2013-14

[stumpski]

He's 34, just wondering how many England players have made an ODI debut at that age or older. Cowdrey and Dolly in the early games, and Gifford played once or twice didn't he - can't be too many others.


Those two old Yorkshire chums Close and Illingworth as well of course. Most on that list are going to be pre-1975.

Moeen playing.

This is the greatest day, been waiting years for this.

Ravi's 100th as well. I hope you and Grecian can contain yourselves.

No, No I can't.

 

[theegyptian]

Is there any reason in bowling Root? Theoretically there are 8 better bowlers than him in this team.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Well...

 

[theegyptian]

inspired decision. great catch. wonderful bowling.

 

[stumpski]

So that's what Jordan's in the team for. Superb take.

 

[Pothas]

Ravi's 100th as well. I hope you and Grecian can contain yourselves.

I am sure Scaly is celebrating this as well, he must be so happy for him.

 

[stumpski]

Not hard to see West Indies falling short of 200 now.

 

[Cabinet96]

Moeen WAG.

 

[grecian]

If they over-rule, I'll cry.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Cabinet96]

Haha yes. The spin strangle with Root, Tredwell and Moeen.

 

[Pothas]

This is great.

 

[Burgey]

Ffs. Stop playing for non-existent turn and start showing some bloody #intent.

 

[Burgey]

Must have some compromising pictures of the selectors. Probably the worst player to play for England in my lifetime.

Were you born in or before 1989?

 

[theegyptian]

WI look hopeless. Mike Selvey on board with the Moeen as England spinner.

Just to repeat myself I think Moeen has a good chance of replacing Swann in Eng Test team.

 

[Burgey]

I've watched eight overs of this having woken up owing to jet lag. England hasn't turned a ball ffs. I mean, good luck to them but this is terrible batting.

On a brighter note, it's a cure for jet lag induced insomnia.

 

[grecian]

Were you born in or before 1989?

Well considering Sledger is indisposed somewhat, I'll answer, I was born before 1989, and he's without doubt the worst I've seen get an extended run. Few pretty hideous ones giving a few games though. Yet Dernbach is well up there.

 

[Cabinet96]

Soon be time for the Windies to struggle to get Ravi off the square soon.

Well, as much fun as that will be, why isn't Moeen bowling at the moeenent (sic), we felling sorry for 'em?
