*Official* West Indies Tour of England 2020

someone needs to go big here, and it probably should have been brathwaite. the more of a squeaky bum game this is, the more likely england win. west indies need to leave the established england players too much to do.

Umpires getting it wrong occasionally is expected and fine. Which is what DRS is for. But the consistent wrongness means they need to stop being selected as elite umpires.

 

[Burgey]

In any event, regardless of the umpiring I’ve enjoyed watching Brooks. Simple technique and hit through the line. Some of his off side shots were excellent

 

[TestMatch]

The Brathwaite wicket really irked me. Keep rooting for the guy to get a hundred. He puts so much effort into sticking around.

He's a stylish batsman and very good to watch. Unfortunately he suffers from West Indian battingitus and isn't very consistent.

Hoping to see some fireworks from Brooks, Blackwood and Holder after the lead becomes handy.

 

[TestMatch]

If Brooks does well, and Hetmeyer comes back, would you drop Campbell for Brooks?

 

[Burgey]

How good is this interview with Ntini. Loving it.

Hety will need to earn his test place, I think he should play some FC cricket and make long format runs. Same with Pooran who I want to see in the test team soon.

Hope needs to shape up or he will have to sit.

We are in serious trouble here, can see a large defeat coming given our batting. WI well on top.

He could pass for a younger, more buff Morgan Freeman.

Was he always this massive? Clearly has a home gym.

He's gone the Tremlett route

 

[vcs]

WI would take a 100/2 session happily. If they can bat through the day, they would be in a great position to go for a win here.

Not enough pacies go the Geoff allot route

Not jinxing, we are in a deep mess. Not picking Broad was a ridiculous decision.

 

[theegyptian]

Wood being selected is fine. I don't see the problem people having with him being selected. He was man of match in 2 of the last 3 tests he's played. He took 9-100 in his last test.

As was pointed out on here before the game, the composition of the bowling attack always looked off with both Wood and Archer playing. Woakes or Broad in English conditions instead Wood or Archer would have offered the better attack in the conditions.

Agree regarding broad
