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

[Burgey]

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.

In terms if an extended run, certainly.

When I read the post though, my thoughts went to the halcyon days of Paul Jarvis, Nick Cook, Kim Barnett etc etc

FFS you idiots, HE ISN'T TURNING THEM!

Think all them better TBH, certainly the first two Jarvis was ruined by injury could bowl really sharpish at best, Cook put in some decent performances, umm Barnett was a decent County performer, was out-of-his-league admittedly in Internationals.

Edit: Should be added I really, really, really hate Dernbach.

 

[Cabinet96]

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

Right handers init.

 

[Cabinet96]

I'm disappointed we've got the proper bowlers on though. Would've thought Ravi would be handy on this pitch against the right handers.

 

[Pothas]

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.

Yes. Always a big fan of Selvey.

 

[theegyptian]

With England's batting I'm predicting a West Indies win from here. Will need something from Root or Buttler to get England over the line.

 

[Pothas]

If they start with spin then Lumb will be horrible.

 

[Burgey]

Decent recovery by Bravo and Simmons. Would be tempting to just bowl the slowies out from here. Only blokes getting tapped are coming onto the bat.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah Ravi should definetly have bowled.

 

[Burgey]

Always a good idea to get some cheap overs out of a sixth or seventh bowler when a side is bating slowly early doors. Gives you so much flexibility at the end if a couple of blokes get smacked around. Think Broad has missed a trick here

 

[Burgey]

Sammy's crushed his nuts with an unecesaary dive. WAFG

 

[grecian]

Yes, So I think we can rule out Joe as a death bowler, success.

Not really news to those of us with a bit more nous than Broad, but perhaps he'll learn.

 

[Burgey]

England gonna England.

 

[Howe_zat]

This is some seriously good stuff from Bravo and Sammy. Using the field and punishing every little mistake.

Yeah England have had some less than outstanding plans to try and cope but almost all these shots have been pre-selected and carved out. Great ODI batting.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This has gone well.

 

[NasserFan207]

On this pitch thats a big score

 

[Burgey]

Yeah. How good was that upper cut by Bravo in the 49th where he just twisted his body about to get the ball where he did? Insane stuff

Has WI just picked the one spinner? England a chance if they have. Quicks just sit up on this deck and ask to be belted

 

[TT Boy]

They just bowled Dernbach back into the side.
