*Official* West Indies Tour of England 2020

Funny how these days whenever tailenders come in bowlers forget to bowl at the bloody stumps

Bess is like the English Pat Cummins.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wait I thought Sam Curran wasnt playing this test

 

[morgieb]

lmao this is gold-tier from Broad.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I must say Cornwall has not done his best to convince a really reluctant captain to keep him in the XI.

Hopefully he can go big with the bat

no pun intended

Bess is like the English Pat Cummins.

yeah you're gonna have to explain that one

 

[Adders]

How can you search for old posts? I seem to recall saying once that there is absolutely nothing better in cricket than a Broad trolling 40 or 50. I'd really like to bump that post.

Tries to play everything to third man.

If you bowl full and at the stumps he can still back away and hit you through the offside like that

Basically with Broad you don't want to let him get his eye in because he's clearly got some good talent (used to be considered something of an allrounder in his early years). Reminds me of Harbhajan with the bat in his latter years.

 

[Burgey]

So?

you’re making out as though he’s contributing at a decentish level for a keeper batsman in averaging 30 odd but he’s done **** all up til this dig. The man is a laughing stock at test level. The best thing about this entire series is the current innings will have kept him in the side

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

These two are batting like openers.

you need to aim four balls an over at his forehead. Simple but effective. Much like Broad himself

Worth remembering the West Indies have only gone past 300 once in the series so this innings by Broad could be even more important later in the game.

 

[Starfighter]

Strauss' dome.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

How difficult was it to bowl at his stumps?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Once again, it's crap bowling.

 

[BoyBrumby]

First 50 since the Boxing Day test in 2017. Played, fella.

 

[Spark]

How to let go of a Test match in half an hour.

Only played four innings in the series though.


Wonderful fifty.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Broad, great fun. Can't see him doubling it but this 50 is huge for us here.

 

[Groundking]

Glorious from Broad
