*Official* England in the West Indies 2024

[Molehill]

Standard English innings, inability to read a pitch and getting out to daft shots.

The Overton as batsman only experiment lasts 1 ball. Seriously, wtf is he doing in this team? Utter rubbish as usual.

nah what? he's playing as a batsman only and coming in at 8?

I know, probably at least 50 cricketers who would be more deserving.

Fit to bowl I read?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Another one for Motie. England are gonna get bowled out before the 50th

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Somehow I don't think the narrative around this game will be of West Indies cricket being dead...

 

[Molehill]

Said on commentary he wouldn’t bowl.

 

[Jarquis]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a less exciting team with four debutants. It’s bad.

Matt L: "Coming in at 8, Out for a golden duck, not bowling due to injury, then chasing leather for 50 overs in the baking heat. Fun day out for J Overton." Ha! The official word is that he is available to bowl. Whether he will or not on this surface remains to be seen...

hard being dead when they slap up England every time they land on their shores

Fair enough I’ve been in and out of this one, but that’s what it said on cricinfo

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Good spell Motie

Average is back under 20 (18.77)

Tbh who knows? I’m not sure they do.

 

[Molehill]

Well that was pretty much the innings you’d expect from that team. Virtually every wicket gifted, some particularly stupid shots from the middle order who made no attempt to bat 50 overs.

 

[Starfighter]

Wouldn't be the first time.

Must say, I haven't seen someone given out LBW off their arm before.

 

[mackembhoy]

Team starting with all rounders at 4 and a specialist bat at 8 is utterly nonsense.

We've treated ODIs with disdain since 2019.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Wouldn't be the first time.

This is quite simple. Bat ends where the glove ends. Ball hits arm, no touch of the glove. LBW

I know the rules you ning-nong. I just haven't actually seen it before.
