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

[sledger]

So , now a fast bowler can’t even bowl 7 overs per innings?

Tricky when the opposition is routinely completely bowled out in less than 50 overs tbf

 

[mackembhoy]

Windies win toss and bat.

Motie in for sinclair the only change for either side.

Braithwaite paused after winning toss before calling bat.

Aggers gone off on TMS thinking it was something, just asked Stokes about it.

 

[Howe_zat]

Brathwaite probably doing what he should have done last week. Rate his quote about backing his batting order.

All sunny skies in Brum.

 

[Qlder]

C'mon Windies...1-100 at lunch would be nice

Cricinfo and Sky Sports has given Shamar a promotion to #10 over Seales, about time

 

[CartyDurham]

Morning/Afternoon/Evening all

The weather today is looking perfect to bat first . West Indies will need to produce their first innings of last week again

as for England , when or if we get the West Indies 9 down, do not place 8 fielders on the boundary . Bowl at the stumps lbw or bowled

oh can I just add, I love the West Indies anthem

 

[reyrey]

Give Wood the new ball!

 

[CartyDurham]

Definite swing there

 

[Howe_zat]

My support for Mikyle Louis as a fielder definitely started ironically but he did have a moment that charmed me to him while batting which was how utterly furious he was to get out, and having the determination to steadfastly be on 0* after half an hour does back that up.

Almost certain to be one of the random cricketers one ends up becoming a genuine fan of for completely non-ability reasons. I sincerely hope he makes a hundred against someone else.

 

[trundler]

Go Woakes, go brokes. Huge overcorrection in length in that over. Going too full after starting out his spell mostly bowling the unlucky length.

 

[CartyDurham]

Bit lucky Brathwaite there off Wood

 

[Test fan]

Apart from pacy bouncers wood doesn't have any other skills.

 

[CartyDurham]

Early sighting of Stokes the bowler

pace and swing on that link

Quite good at batting for a tailender tbh.

 

[CartyDurham]

Athers. “Its moving in the air and off the pitch “ about the one skilled bowler Mark Wood

 

[GIMH]

Also does a good horse gallop

 

[sledger]

Also does a good horse gallop

Do you do a good horse gallop?

 

[GIMH]

Do you do a good horse gallop?

You have to pay for that answer

 

[sledger]

You have to pay for that answer

I think I would probably be happier not doing that.

 

[CartyDurham]

Good start for the West Indies but iirc they were 61 for 0 last innings

don’t think England have found the right length to bowl this morning as there is plenty of swing available

could be Brathwaites day after that second piece of luck
