*Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

[Beamer]

Mayb they are sending him a message to say you can't just decide you want to be included in the squad and then just waltz straight back into the xi. I would like to think that's what they have done and then include him in the side for the 5th odi

I hope that's the case because Carlos should not be near this squad let alone lineup.

 

[Borges]

Apparently he's not fully fit. Holder said: 'Want to give Russell a bit more time to recover.'

 

[BSM]

A big score from Hales and a decent one from Bairstow would genuinely leave us with a selection dilemma here

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That's a whirlwind half century

 

[Beamer]

Is the plan to expose Nurse and Bishoo here so we can get some proper spinners in? They are useless. Both averaging 40 with an economy of 5.

Both of them are not wicket takers. They are containers.

You can't have 3 bowlers who have an economy of 5 and average in the 40s. It's shocking. I would honestly have none of Bishoo, Nurse or Braithwaite in my team. We are hamstringing ourselves.

And they are doing a very bad job at containing.

400 on the cards for England.

It makes me angry because they are really holding our ODI side back and I have no clue why they are being selected.

I don't know what to say man. They don't even have variations. Bishoo's is the long hop.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I would use Carlos Barthwaite with only two-over spells.

It really is unbelievable. I'd even play Allen ahead of Bishoo, we have nothing to lose.

My opinion is 2 overs is too many ?

I was hoping that they would have brought in Allen for the 2nd ODI. He is a decent spinner, and he offers the left-hand spin...

Carlos is bowling a decent enough spell so far. The boundaries have dried up to an extent.

The dudes over at Cricinfo are expecting a world record score for England today

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jonny Bairstow gets bowled. What else is new?

Carlos is bowling a decent enough spell so far. The boundaries have dried up to an extent.

Plus he's a better batsman and fielder. Bishoo has no business in the side.

Carlos is bowling well here I must admit though, as is Oshane. But how do we make up for 20 overs of Nurse and Bishoo?

A quick look at the team and I see Gayle and John Campell. Here's the surprise: Shimron is a leg break googly bowler; and Darren Bravo is a right arm medium fast bowler

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The rain coming....

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Thomas with his 2nd wicket. The dangerous Root gone
