    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    This is part of the problem. He always seems to go well for a little while and get tired after a few overs. It's probably harsh to be picking on him 1. when no one else has achieved much better figures so far, and 2. this seems a nice pitch for batting, but he has never impressed in ODI cricket...

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Morgan has been known to bowl Rashid at the end of the innings when the tail are in. That being said, such circumstances aren't looking likely

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    I know he had a resurgence in the last test match, but what made them pick Wood over Curran? Curran offers so much more to this bowling attack imo

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Pitch seems incredibly placid so far, so 38-1 after nearly nine overs isn't a bad start for England. I think Windies have the players to accelerate though. Good test for our bowlers

    Joe Root: Nothing wrong with being gay

    Arguing that retired players would have previously gotten away with similar language is flawed because it doesn't consider the progress against homophobic behaviour, whether extreme or casual. McGrath may well have got a way with it, but that doesn't necessarily mean that people should do 15...

    Joe Root: Nothing wrong with being gay

    You assume that this 'nastiness' isn't something that can be educated out of you though, and that your nastiness will die with you, when it will probably instead spread to your children because you end up teaching them your 'awful' ways because to you there isn't much wrong with them, and don't...

    *Official* Sri Lanka Tour of South Africa 2019

    Sri Lanka have a great opportunity here with Philander as SA's no.7. It's not the strongest batting lineup. But the thing is, they've consistently got themselves into these good situations. They had NZ struggling in the first day of the second test, and as someone else has said, Australia were...

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    This test match proved how vital Holder is to this West Indies team. Not only as a bowler and batsmen but as a leader. Brathwaite doesn't seem like a very good leader to me, albeit it is a bit harsh to judge his captaincy in a practically meaningless game for his team (though I'm sure Holder...

    Joe Root: Nothing wrong with being gay

    Can't we just accept that Root is a nice bloke who put down a homophobic slur because he didn't think that it was right? Certainly more believable than this conspiracy that he would potentially ruin Gabriel's reputation to further his own at the end of an already decided test series, which would...

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Is it too greedy to ask for one more?

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Good fifty from Chase; good bowling from Anderson. If we pick one more up tonight I'll be pretty happy. Windies have batted decently without anyone being particularly exceptional thus far

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Gotta feel for Anderson; putting in so many overs and performing some impressive stops of his own in the field, only to have yet another drop (and a relatively easy one to be honest) off his bowling. Hetmyer might make us pay here.

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Can't help but think that Leach would have been a lot tidier than Ali in this situation. Against Sri Lanka, he consistently had the lowest economy while Rashid and Ali went for runs but took wickets.

    Rakheem Cornwall

    On bowling and batting alone, it seems like a no-brainer; especially since, as people have mentioned, Bishoo hasn't really performed for the Windies in a while. What's his fielding like generally? I can't imagine he is too mobile, but is it to an extent that you'd say that he is a detriment?

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Just seen that Jamie Porter took 5-36 in the England A defeat to the Presidents XI It was a one day game but still. Really want to see him given a chance for England, but there seems to be a prejudice against picking him - especially overseas - because of his lack of pace. Abbas for Pakistan...

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Mark Wood being included in an England squad will never not annoy me; even if he is only there to replace someone who probably wasn't going to play anyway.

    *Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

    Is this that weird mentality where if a team that someone supports has a subjectively inferior record to the team they have fair criticism for, then their opinion is irrelevant

    *Official* Big Bash League 2018-19

    In all seriousness, if he doesn't make a significant contribution in his last few games, it'll definitely be an influence on his selection come the T20I WC next year in AUS. He won't get much more chances beforehand.

    *Official* India Tour of Australia 2018/19

    Not that there's any chance of it occurring here, but what's the highest first-innings score for a losing team? I imagine it might come from a very long time ago when test matches could go on for over 5 days

    Your gutsy calls for 2019

    Tom Curran to not only break into the England odi XI for the WC but to come out as our leading wicket taker
