*Official* West Indies Tour of England 2020

Dom Bess with another troll innings

Or not. Older CWers will remember when Buttler was good.

Never been good at tests, one of the first names on teamsheet in shorter versions but shouldn't play another test. EVER.

 

[vcs]

England should get to 200 which would just about make them favourites I think, but we could have a real nailbiter in store.

Buttler is so odd. I'm convinced he'd be better if he had shastri in his ear telling him to go full intent. But then I realise he's actually played a few good innings in backs to the wall situations trying to save test matches, so he shouldn't actually be incapable of constructing a proper innings. Don't really know what to make of him tbh.

Holding:

"Other cricket" = T20 cricket lol

 

[StephenZA]

Should not drop that.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ooo. Toughie but keeper should really be catching those.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Alzarri really creating opportunities here

 

[vcs]

That's a drop, tough catch, but one you'd expect the keeper to take.

He'd be phenomenal in a different setup. Convinced of it.

He's the textbook example of what I kept banging on about last year about England having talent to burn but the structure/mindset is all wrong.

Looked to be sliding down to me, but umpire's call. Huh.

bad review

Umpire's call...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Umpire's call...

It looked like it was missing in real time.

 

[wpdavid]

Closer than we thought. I'm confused that cricinfo reckon that would have been their last one if they started again after 80 overs. Or have I missed two in the last 17 overs?

Is his technique solid enough for Tests? Seems to get bowled way too often.

 

[a massive zebra]

Anyone know the record for most decisions overturned by DRS in a Test? I'm guessing this might be close to a record...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Valuable runs these

Like the look of the boy. Bit of pace and moves it both ways.

Makes not bowling him until the 30-somethingth over all the stranger.

Pope looks like a Bell clone at the crease.
