*Official* West Indies Tour of England 2020

[honestbharani]

The issue with the umpiring is that they seem to be favoring England with the doubt every time. I won't call it bias yet but it is unfortunate when the mistakes always keep favoring the home team. This is why, more than anything else, neutral umpires worked.

 

[Arachnodouche]

The sweep doesn't come naturally to a lot of batsmen; it's an unnatural movement and requires serious practice. Also, modern franchise cricket is making the conventional sweep somewhat obsolete so batsmen perhaps aren't as skilled at it as they once were.

Roach was in a car accident.

Ah.

Bess looks really hittable to me when he goes fuller.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I did not hear a thing

 

[honestbharani]

I hope that is out, otherwise not a good look again. But I did hear something.

 

[Spark]

Ah.

Bess looks really hittable to me when he goes fuller.

Yeah, that's what happens when you don't have any drop.

Fair to praise that decision; I didn't hear a thing there.

EDIT: Ah very tiny noise.

 

[StephenZA]

Strange review?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Yeah, that’s faint.

 

[weldone]

FFS what a terrible review! One of the worst I have seen.

 

[honestbharani]

So they now have only one review left?

 

[Daemon]

Lyon is taller and really goes "over the top" of the ball, Bess seems a more traditional English-style offie to me although the gyrations look similar

I like it when you talk dirty

 

[OverratedSanity]

Very smart review there

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh well time for Mr. 8000 to shine

 

[harsh.ag]

Time for some Dowrich

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Anderson’s numbers tho

 

[TestMatch]

Ohhh Blackwood. Could be in for some comedy now.

Yeah, he is not releasing it from high enough and is going through the ball rather fast at delivery stride IMO. He is a guy you can sweep off a length all day, unless the track has very bad variable bounce.

And I surely heard something even as they appealed for that Brooks dismissal, was rather loud too, wondering if it was something else on the laptop, lol.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It’s not the Blackwood of olden days

 

[honestbharani]

Blackwood looks bad out there but may just be understandably tentative. If he can luck out a 30 like Campbell, will be invaluable for the Windies. Hopefully Holder, Chase and Dowrich add a lot more to the board.

Dodgy technique on dispaly by Blackwood early on
