*Official* England in West Indies 2022

[Bijed]

Could be neck and neck

as to who out of Woakes or Overton concedes more runs on the way

Overton not even opening the bowling, it turns out

Good

 

[loterry1994]

Stokes has got to step up and take the captaincy after this series.

 

[cnerd123]

If I were Root I'd retire and pursue a franchise T20 career.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bishop is spitting fire here...

"If it was Cummins or Anderson or Hazlewood...even a Boland, ink would run out praising them. But, because it's Mayers who got these wickets, it's ordinary batting from England...and not quality line and length bowling from him."

(Paraphrasing, of course)

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Keep the leg side half volley's coming to the end.

 

[grecian]

Keep the leg side half volley's coming to the end.

TBH I genuinely didn't want a pyrhic victory of a few wickets here, we need to go down as humiliatingly as possible.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

There it is.

Rally!

Rally round the West Indies

Now and Forever!

 

[cnerd123]

This England team is gutless.

The entire system needs an overhaul. Heads must roll.

 

[Preed]

How can England improve when they refuse to accept what an embarrassment they have become.Trescothic coming out yesterday saying don’t judge them on one days performance when they have been good for the first two tests.What should you judge them on when they have capitulated for the umpteenth time over the last 4 years.We really do need to get some coaching staff who see reality not their mates

 

[trundler]

That was suitably ignominious.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Windies.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lmao England. Amazing how predictably they fall apart every time in the Caribbean.

Excellent from west indies. Hope Brathwaite has a good run as captain, have always had a bit of a soft spot for him.

 

[artvandalay]

Well done wi, seem to continue their home streak against England.

 

[wpdavid]

Humiliating, genuinely don't know where we go from here. I've kinda been on the late 80s 90s sides were worse, but not so sure anymore sans Branderson.

I feel like my work here is done .

 

[CricAddict]

West indies always has a hoodoo over England. Great to see that continue.

 

[wpdavid]

Well done wi, seem to continue their home streak against England.

Confirmation yet again that England's win there in 2004 remains one of our more under-rated performances.

 

[Slifer]

Btw if England fans ever need to understand why we play so much better against you than against anyone else, just check out this article from Paul Newman in the Daily Mail, as an example.

Josh Da Silva punishes England with an unbeaten maiden test century

PAUL NEWMAN IN GRENADA: This was as bad as it can possibly get for an England team routinely used to defeat and humiliation during their last five miserable Test series without victory.

www.dailymail.co.uk

It says Kyle Mayers is a 'journeyman' and a 'trundler' and Joshua Da Silva a 'limited batsman.' Yet no word on the talent or lack thereof of messer's Woakes, Overton and Lees.

This guy knows nothing about Josh, who is actually an attacking opener in white ball cricket with lots of shots, but one with the discipline to put them away if required. Mayers took wickets against South Africa and Sri Lanka and of course played one of the ATG knocks just last year.

Your journalists do this every tour. Tbf sometimes even your management does it. You'd think years of getting beaten in the Caribbean would teach them to shut up. But nope, it's every single time.

This precisely. I remember the last time England was in the WI, their press was talking mad schitt, especially the likes of Flintoff, Boycott etc. When are they going to learn to just keep their traps shut....

Had to look it up and found this. Against a pretty decent if not vintage WI team too.

Congratulations West Indies, well deserved!

Yep. It's mad to me honestly.
