*Official* West Indies Tour of England 2020

[Pup Clarke]

Gabriel will probably take wickets but my god the Windies have handled him badly. Why bring along Reifer or Chemar Holder if you can't trust them to fill in for a test?

 

[Gremlin]

Tough on Crawley, I get why they've done it though. The top 5 need to put a high price on their wicket, graft it out.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ahh, so I see we have Rahkeem in the team...and Gabriel about to lose a few nuts and bolts.

 

[BoyBrumby]

It's an attacking selection, if one's looking to be charitable.

"Foolhardy" might me a more apposite adjective IMHO though. Shades of the Harmy for Fred debacle before the 4th Ashes test in 2009.

Stokes talking about bowling offies in the 2nd innings... I'm sure he isn't serious!

'giz a bowl skip, i'm good'

 

[Starfighter]

I like the description on cricinfo of England having 'no batting from Jos down'. Four seamers plus Stokes is crazy overkill. Especially four right armers.

burgey will seize on this like a red rag to a bull if this eventuates

'see, anyone can do it!'

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I got a $100 on Gabriel spraying all over in his first over.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is wasting the new ball

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

No suicidal run outs please.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That's plumb af.

Very plumb

 

[Pothas]

Root batting already is somewhat troubling.

 

[Neptune]

That’s absolutely plum. Absolutely plum. Not a good start.

 

[Starfighter]

Roach reaping the benefits of actually... you know... bowling at the stumps.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So Roach was bowling trash...and all of a sudden he produced that delivery. Sibley with another duck.

 

[trundler]

Root's essentially opening now and he's better at that than #3...

 

[Flem274*]

niiiice

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I like the short-leg in place.

round the wicket might help gabriels early direction if he's feeling stiff again
