***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

[Prince EWS]

Buttler shouldn't be batting so low down the order.

There was a nightwatchman.

 

[Pratters]

Benn sweepstakes 0-110.

 

[wpdavid]

What a rubbish dismissal. Awful shot to give away the chance of a ton.

Yeah, it's a real shame that one.

I wonder what a good score is on this pitch. People were saying 325 yesterday, but that strikes me as on the low side.

 

[Pratters]

There was a nightwatchman.

Probably better to not have a night watch man when there is just the tail to come after him

 

[wpdavid]

There was a nightwatchman.

Which was unnecessary as Stokes was able to face the one remaining over after Bell was dismissed.

 

[Antihippy]

There was a nightwatchman.

I disagree with the concept of a nightwatchman in the modern game but I guess that's fair enough.

 

[Pratters]

Can you guys increase the volume? At maximum volume the commentary is loud enough but I would prefer it louder.

Bumped it up a touch for you.

 

[Pratters]

Bumped it up a touch for you.

That's great now. Thanks.

 

[Pratters]

One of the commentators is louder than the other right now..

 

[wpdavid]

Fine bowling from the Windies. How long will the batsmen's patience last?

 

[mightymariner]

Looks a bit leggy for me.

 

[Pratters]

This has to be the best pace bowling line up for Windies right now. Still don't like Holder too much. Though he has bowled well here I would like some one more with a chance of taking truck load of wickets. The immediate solution is to have five bowlers right now including Holder.

Not sure, bowl well and it is hard to score and get in on. Bowl poorly and it is easy to put away. I think we have a decent score on the board given that WI will bat last on what is a dry pitch and it could be hard to bat on on days 4 and 5.

 

[weldone]

West Indies' pace bowlng is like India's. They start the day well, and lose all the steam and fizz after 1-1.5 hours. That was the story when they bowled to SA, and when India bowled to Aus.

 

[wpdavid]

Cricinfo reckon WI have only used one of their reviews, but I thought there was one yesterday as well. Maybe against Root? iirc it remained umpires call due to only clipping the leg stump.

 

[mightymariner]

LBW going over anyway, interesting. Unlucky for them to lose both reviews

Was before the new ball was taken, resets after it is.

 

[Pratters]

Another gone. Windies have bowled really well. Right on the money. That's your best chance on a pitch like this with not too much to offer.

 

[wpdavid]

Well this is crap. Good bowling and all that, but you'd hope we could have made a better fist of it that what we've seen in the last hour.
