**Official** England in the West Indies 2017

[AndyZaltzHair]

Stuart Law is a great addition to WI

Great start from Gabriel - got England's best 2 batsmen within his first 4 overs

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Root looked awful in that dismissal

 

[Burner]

Gabriel can bowl.

 

[weldone]

Gabriel can bowl.

quite possibly the fastest bowler in the world in the current ODI scene

Would take 260 on this deck. Looks rough to score on. Long way away from that currently though.

Plenty of patches and the pitch does not look like easy scoring one. 260 will be above par

No Narine, no good death bowler - so England has already countered the toughest part (Gabriel's first spell)

Can count on Bishoo to have some impact. Is he playing though

Yep he is in.

Sam Billings need a SR 85-90 hundred here. He has got in, is normally a good player of spin. Prove you belong in the CT squad, which I firmly believe he does.

Get on that front foot. Deck looks absolutely horrendous. 220-240 is easily defendable on here.

Trouble is Morgan makes a lot of decks look horrendous these days.

It used to be that he'd make decks look a lot easier to score on than they actually were.

Good job we've see 3 other batsmen then isn't it. It's not an awful deck, and 220 is a big exaggeration but 250 is a solid score.

 

[91Jmay]

Poor from Billings. Giving it away when he got set and was going well, he clearly has the talent but he is frustrating so far in international career.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yea typical of England's top order unfortunately. They get a lot of pretty 50s and 60s but just aren't turning it into 3 figures.

 

[grecian]

I want a Jos special, seems like it's been a while.

 

[91Jmay]

Bishoo helping match the number of wides England will almost certainly bowl later.

He's bowled like a drain so far, I was worried about him. Platform set ok now.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

brilliant catch

 

[Burner]

Buttler's form has been concerning. Getting out to Nurses now.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah Buttler having a dip in form. As long as he comes good in the CT.
