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

[Daemon]

Declaration was fine imo. Moeen will wrap things up with ~50+ runs to spare.

I almost hope we lose if it means talk of dangling carrots and aggressive declarations will stop. But it won't so I don't.

No batsmen has ever scored two centuries in a match in FC cricket at Headingley. Would be a hell of a time for someone to do it.

The other problem is how often we play terribly at Headingley. There's not a lot that Root can do about the choice of venue, but maybe this level of performance was always on the cards at this place.

Keeping it quiet for the last few overs...WI mustn't let that happen

Hope is still ticking along nicely I feel

That's an incredible stat given the amount of cricket that's been played there.

Knife-edge cricket. Game could go either of three ways. Broad's millimeters away from getting edges on some of these deliveries.

Ali bowling some absolute trash as well now. Give the ball some air ffs.

usually one innings was enough when Bradman was at Headingley

 

[mr_mister]

So how many times has this happened? 200+ and 100+ parternships in the same test from the same pair?

It's going to take something pretty special if England are to win this now. Great for WI cricket, and these two have batted really well, but we've been poor for too much of this match.

This is crap. If we lose the bowling is at fault more than the declaration.

But it'll be the declaration that is talked about.

Time for Stokes to clean up.

 

[mr_mister]

Cry more Stokes

Hate when bowlers whinge about batsmen edging for runs. You don't whinge when your crappy balls get wickets

 

[King Pietersen]

Be nice if we could start bowling on a proper length and not down the leg side.

The bowling deserves a lot of criticism indeed.

The problem with the declaration was it just not needed. I strongly doubt they would have declared against South Africa, but they clearly don't have a great deal of respect for the West Indies and its biting them in the backside here.

They are only in this, due to how awful the West Indies are in the field. I am not a massive West Indies fan, but for England's **** you attitude all test, hope they win.

 

[weldone]

How is the pitch guys? Any worse than yesterday? I'm not watching this now, and need to make a decision about (whether or not to) cash-out my bet about WI winning.

Was gonna post that. But you got it!
