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

Seems wasteful to leave Howe with a lone shoe. Adders should go double or nothing with another rubbish call.

Howe should eat the shoe like he promised all that time ago then tbh

 

[fredfertang]

There's also a history of CWers not carrying out these threats. Burgey being one and bagapath about to be another.

I have every confidence in adders to take his forfeit - he's a pukka guy, not some lily livered TOTAB worshipping jonny foreigner

Ali to SD Hope, no run, back and across, and ... dropped! Such a tough chance, needed to nestle in the gut of Stoneman at short leg really, but these athletes today, stomachs like washboards, it just trampolines away to safety...

Gotta love this from ESPNcricinfo.

I had a hell of a laugh

Good point. Not nearly enough follow-through on the shoe-eating on this forum. Get it together.

If either of these two eats their designated shoe I'll eat a shoe.

At wedding, good on Windies for taking control. Superb effort

Stay on topic ffs. Describe your footwear.

If it's leather of some kind I'll take it.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yes! Lovely knock!

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rate Brathwaite so much. Most of the big scores he's got so far in his career have been seriously top quality runs but not been consistent enough so far. Hopefully this starts a run for him.

 

[NUFAN]

I have compiled some highlights from the second session, I hope you enjoy them here.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's a fine knock. We are still 52 behind though.

Would want him scoring more after we get last 258

 

[DriveClub]

This wi team would be a lot stronger with bravo in it

 

[Firebreaker]

Knew that dropping TRJ was a mistake

Eh, Woakes easily could've had a couple of wickets in his first spell. Beat the bat plenty. Broad has been the weak link, not Woakes.

 

[Firebreaker]

Stokes is once again bowling pathetically.Should really consider role change now should be no more than a part timer

 

[Bijed]

I wouldn't in any way describe Stokes' bowling today as 'pathetic'. A few loose deliveries, yeah, but on the whole he's been decent enough I'd say

 

[Bijed]

I don't particularly mind Root bowling a part-timer at this stage, but maybe he should go for something other than just more off-spin?

 

[srbhkshk]

A lead of 100 would be just about even - beyond 170+ gives WI a great chance to pull off the upset.

You I would've thought Malan would make more sense if Moeen is going to bowl at the other end, even though I think Westley is probably the better bowler.

 

[CricAddict]

They have Holder at 9. Definite chance of 170+ lead. Golden chance for windies this to get an away win.
