*Official* West Indies Tour of England 2020

[honestbharani]

I almost posted Chase trolling out one or two will be fun, then settled to put only one as it was close to lunch.


If they give a 8 fer to Chase here, England deserve to lose their test status really.

 

[Burgey]

Any chance Roach might bowl at the poles here?

 

[DriveClub]

Is this a dustbowl in England? WI might regret leaving big rakheem out if so

 

[Flem274*]

should have played the fat guy

 

[vcs]

These wickets aside, Chase is a good man to have around in the team. If he can start averaging a steady 35-40 with the bat while providing useful spin, he'd a very useful asset to this WI team.

nah it's just damp so the ball is gripping. the turn'll go away as it dries out and hardens

 

[Spark]

outside off imo

 

[Neptune]

England are ****. **** off.

 

[Burgey]

Hit him outside I think

 

[flibbertyjibber]

chases record v england compared to his record v everyone else must be a laugh

Same with Blackwood.

England, making players look good since year dot.

chases record v england compared to his record v everyone else must be a laugh

19 @ 30.42 compared to 44 at 45.31

Big difference but not that hilarious. Took a 4-for against SL at some point.

 

[Spark]

geez that decked back a long way.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Roach has looked underwhelming this tour everytime I've turned the telly on. Admittedly didn't watch him bowling well on day 2 of the last game, but his MO needs a harder pitch than what's been dished out so far.

Gets on a roll as soon as I type that too.

nah it’s just a bit Uzzie on day one. Will probably harden up a bit of it doesn’t rain again

 

[GotSpin]

Roach looks so good once he starts pitching it up

 

[DriveClub]

They makes sense, might be hard to score runs until the pitch dries out as well. Holder will be harder to face with extra bounce and ball not coming on to the bat.

 

[honestbharani]

Thats not the point Burgey is making. There's a romantic tint of viewing the Windies hey days

Which is what I meant in my last line in that post there.

Bugger.

jeez that?s ragging. Is the deck a bit Khawaja?

Damp tracks tend to help turn, especially finger spinners. May flatten out with a bit of sunshine but right now, its a great deck for someone like Chase. Not sure if Bess will get the same assistance.

 

[Jack1]

Brain fade from Crawley .
He was giving slip practice there..right off the face of the bat

Two soft dismissals. England in a bit of trouble

 

[Starfighter]

I will never ever be able to take Root seriously with that look. Chase is looking to deploy a sixties field setting with an appropriately accompanying lack of spin.

 

[GotSpin]

I feel like another soft wicket is coming here
