They'e only got to bat for probably 2.5 sessions. If they can't bat normally and bat that long, then they deserve to lose tbhMost of the Windies lineup is technically and temperamentally unsuited to batting purely for survival. Putting them in a situation that demands exactly that is England's best chance.
Chase's ton against India while it did save the match was done by him scoring runs to get a lead, so it wasn't a dead bat effort. Holder's hundred v England was free scoring too. Innings like those would win the game if England dangle the carrot.Don't Chase, Dowrich and Holder have a history of fourth innings rearguards?
That's a bad thought tbh. Why would you wish injury to the man?How come stokes doesn't get injured ffs
Ended up being a pretty boring match, but that fact alone plus Anderson scoring 81 made it all worthwhile imoThe Sharma 7-for was in the 2nd test, after the draw at TB where Cook took a wicket.
They've got two and a bit sessions to bowl them out with Broad plus a second string attack. I don't know if they should be necking themselves if it doesn't happen.Windies are shot. If England can't win this, they should have a serious look at themselves.
