*Official* England in West Indies 2022

Solozano can’t catch a break.

Should have been Athanaze at number 3
I honestly don't rate Mosely at all. He is an opener who doesn't know where his off stump is, he doesn't run well between the wickets and he's not that great against spin.

It might sound controversial, but I don't think he gets a look in if he's from Guyana or the Leewards.

I was one of those folk who has been saying YJB should stick to Limited Overs cricket... but hope to have been proven wrong if he's hitting a bit of form.

Lower middle order suits him well.

Looks like our President’s XI boys are gonna bat twice on this wicket.

Still surprised that Athanaze isn’t in as yet
Wicket is seriously slow, Carty played two shots before Robinson's bouncer got anywhere near him :laughing: . They're going to need to be patient.

The pitch looks to be two-paced from what I can see. Carty is making a push for it. On this wicket, you have to dig in and assess what it is offering...

Tbf Robinson is not quick at all anyway and it now looks like he is injured. But it does look slow.
 
Woakes is bowling a nice line and length here with the field set for straight bowling....

short mid off
wide mid off
square cover
short mid wicket
mid wicket


Reifer smokes one through the covers for a boundary lol
 
I have always known Reifer to be a gritty batsman...but without much potential...but it seems as if he's transformed his batting...

Just like his partnership with Kraigg a couple of weeks ago, he looks good.


I hope I don't jinx him.
 
It's really disappointing that a cricket site like CI can't provide live ball-by-ball coverage of this practice match....while Cricbuzz is on track with the bbb.

CI sucks in this aspect...

It's so typical West Indies this. You watch Carty and wonder how on earth he averages 25 in FC cricket with only 33 FC matches under his belt at age 24.

He looks like he's got good technique...but that doesn't mean anything if there's no temperament.

He can't get out of patience here. Bat until the cows come home.

By the time Carty's contemporaries around the world are 24 they have played 100 FC matches. He has played 30. It's mad.
