***Official*** West Indies Tour of the UK 2017

Take 5 more wickets for 25 runs and then win the test.

So now we have got 500 it is just a case of when the declaration comes from here. As long as Cook is there it probably won't happen before he reaches 300 if he does.

Lol, I don't remember any other batsman who got out in this fashion (chips to the covers) so often as Moeen

 

[grecian]

West Indies must think, great now we get Stokes, JB and Moeen all with licence to play shots.

Or alternatively, they could pick up some cheap wickets from stupid shots.

This is drivel, get on with it or declare

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Another great decision

 

[MW1304]

How on earth did Chase get 4?

Toss last half an hour or so. Dead cert triple if the engine room hadn't all thrown their wickets away.

Now lets find out just how flat this pitch is.

 

[weldone]

42 overs today, 180 overs on the next 2 days...If WI score at 3.5 rpo then they'll have a lead of 263 (provided no rain)

Easy win after that

Or........ Bowled out twice before close tomorrow. Probably good for the game that Cook went when he did.

Breathwaite goes early, which is always good for the run rate.

Its depressing to watch the Windies these days. But just like SL, I think if the board can back them to at least a reasonable extent, they can be a good competitive side in the near future.

Kyle Hope looks alright. 'Organised'.

He doesn't look too bad but any batsmen will need luck to survive in these overhead conditions. Don't think KB did too much wrong, just a great delivery.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Good stuff by these 2 so far.

I'm somehow weirdly happy that SL and WI suck so much right now. Gives Ireland and Afghanistan a fighting chance at not looking ridiculously out of their depth.

Its great for us (that he wasn't) as he'd score enough to get a place in AUS, then he'd get absolutely ruined by Starc bowling full and quick and would be out of the side by the 3rd Test. Hopefully Rocky goes well in the rest of this series and Hameed finishes the season off well, have Cook-Rocky-Hameed top 3 for me then take out Malan for Woakes to bat at 8 and move everyone up 1.

How many times will we try 6 bowlers before realising it isn't the right tactic?

****ing hate day night tests in England.........should be watching test cricket right now.
