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

[SillyCowCorner1]

But he's the vice-captain....time for Da Silva to get the job

Let's hope it comes after this series.

Doing a Rhodes and playing into his 50s

Sky's the limit!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Runs truck continues to runs truck. No brain on this dude at all.

 

[Qlder]

Ha ha heavy criticism of Joseph works to get a wkt

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

For crying out loud Stokes.

 

[mackembhoy]

I think thats Stokes trying to prove his tactic yesterday is a good tactic @CartyDurham

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

For crying out loud Stokes.

Pounced on anything short like a cat to a mouse.

 

[Qlder]

Just pointing out with Eng 6-169, WI only lost their 6th at 229

 

[Howe_zat]

If anyone would like to call that innings a 'pretty little fifty' under the circumstances of unambigiously rescuing the test match, I'd like to kindly suggest you instead get that idea onto a word document, print it out, fold it up carefully and pop it up your backside.

 

[Nintendo]

Can't even blame that dismissal on the "martyr of bazball" shtick. Just didn't commit to the shot.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Indeed, that marks his 100th test wicket. It solidifies his position as the vice-captain for the foreseeable future.

 

[BazBall21]

"Ben Stokes can't believe he's fallen for it" - not the first time we've heard that this series...

 

[mackembhoy]

Wallop by Smith

 

[GIMH]

Just caught up on the score. Feels like old times!

 

[Nintendo]

Is there an injury? I know Joseph has taken wickets, and he's also been **** all series. He's bowled 12 going at 6's. Shamar should have bowled some of these.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Probably even stevens right now isn't it?

Dismissal of the nightwatchman makes the scoreboard look a little worse than it is.

Shamar hasn't looked fit all series.

Yeah probably. 280-300 is about what you'd expect from here, and batting last means England probably do need a small lead to break even.

The over/under on England's innings is 354.5, which is almost bafflingly ambitious for an even bet.

 

[WICFan]

Just play an extra batter imo

Mayers would be a good option to have in England.

 

[Darwin Award]

Incredible to think that about 3 or so years ago before Root hit a double ton in Sri Lanka that he was about 10 or so centuries behind Smith & co from memory.

Now he's on the cusp of being the outright leader in centuries hit out of the 'Big 4'.

Kohli might not ever even get to 30 test centuries as well.

He’s played far more innings than the rest tbf
