*Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

[WICFan]

You can always trust the Windies to give away a wicket after a drinks break.

 

[MW1304]

That's... pretty poor after surviving Wood's rockets.

 

[trundler]

It was career-endingly bad

 

[Burgey]

Don’t mind a leg slip but it sometimes encourages blokes to bowl a bit short. Theres real value for wood pitching it up at this pace

Agree, needs to top of off it a little more.

 

[Burgey]

Brathwaite seems agreeably compact atm. Best I’ve seen him look in ages

Having a breather now anyway

oooh shot

Bashir LBW last over was out on review apparently.

 

[trundler]

Kirk McKenzie sounds like a detective from an 80s movie

 

[BazBall21]

I thought that was worth a review live tbh. Fairly straight.

Bashir LBW last over was out on review apparently.

I have no idea why they didn't review it, looked very adjacent....and so it proved. In fact, not sure why the umpire didn't give it either.

Quite a muted appeal. Strange incident.

 

[BazBall21]

The fact bowlers are entitled to get the ball changed when it isn't hopping around corners isn't a great advert for the old "it's a batsman's game" live.

 

[MW1304]

Feel like a more experienced bowler/keeper combo would have been clamouring for it.

I think because visually it gave the impression of going down legside with how McKenzie played it.

It's a bit like how shooters are more likely to be given out live because it looks so comprehensive even if it was missing the stumps.

 

[MW1304]

Yeah Kraigg's looking terrific here. Handled Wood superbly.

 

[Molehill]

Quite a muted appeal. Strange incident.

I wonder if a more experienced bowler/keeper combo might have offered a stronger appeal to Stokes. If that was Broad, I think we know what happens.....

 

[quincywagstaff]

That's just terrible cricket. Soft, soft dismissal.

Can only think he was mentally shaken up by Wood's pace as those were two horrible shots in a row out of nowhere.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah it’s something they all look to do regularly these days. I don’t remember it being anywhere near as common to change the ball back in the day. I mean, teams still tried it but the umps seemed stricter on allowing it

 

[Burgey]

Yeah Kraigg's looking terrific here. Handled Wood superbly.

He’s classy when he’s in and going. Looks a top tier player.
