*Official* England in West Indies 2022

[slippy888]

West indies need a shannon gabriel type bowler to knock over the tail

 

[Magrat Garlick]

At the Mahmood six, it seems a weird shot when you're the lesser batter at the crease, and that you've only hit 3 sixes in senior cricket previously. But whatever.

Three part-timers starting off with a maiden.

for getting into the bowlers' heads i think it was worth the risk

Why are they bowling these guys? Are they trying to set up a declaration?

Burning the overs until the 2nd new ball is available.
Defense wins you championships

da Silva struggling as much as the bowlers....

the selectors dropped their main spinner

 

[ImpatientLime]

damn da silva is so clumsy

 

[Uppercut]

I love leg-spinners who put zero spin on the ball. Bonner chose the most difficult possible way to bowl nothing-breaks, because it’s slightly cooler, and I respect that.

 

[Pothas]

This feels very day one county cricket.

It probably happens quite frequently, but can't think of too many occasions when numbers 10 and 11 are an innings' highest scorers.

Most decent 10th wicket stands seem to involve a decent batter with the 11.

 

[Pothas]

Both facing this many deliveries as well. You might get it when they both slog a 30 each but I can't remember one lasting this long with a 10 and 11.

 

[morgieb]

Wow.

Leach in fairness has had a couple of completely gun knocks but Mahmood doing this is a genuine surprise.

 

[slippy888]

did windies lose focus after they had them 9 down

 

[Uppercut]

Seales swings it a long way.

I don't think it happens all that often. it requires a horror lollapse to exactly nine down and then the 10 & 11 suddenly getting their act together

the closest I've found is this https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...alia-vs-england-5th-test-62416/full-scorecard but that was the 8 & 11

All of our 8-11 outscored all of our 2-7 as well.

Quality partnership this. Bat on guys.

Bat until the ? ? ?

this is also reasonably close (the no 11 top scoring but then getting run out while the no 10 is six runs short of the 2nd highest, true comedy hours)

So, it’s only second time ever, apparently! First was 1885
