***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

[Tangles]

No Taylor, huge blow for WI

Injury or random WI selection strike?

Injury or random WI selection strike?

Whatever you think about the WI selction methods, Taylor has always been a pick-up. In other words: he's injured.

 

[Furball]

Commentators mentioned Tredwell suffering a shoulder strain. I'm assuming he picked that up as a result of actually trying to spin one.

 

[Pothas]

Ok this is annoying now.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Has it ever happened that a toss has occurred under leaden skies followed by the heavens opening all day and then it being a clear skied day the next day and the ball does nothing?

Belting hot and sunny in England, rain in Caribbean.

Sods law.

So some people are saying Buttler at 8 is England being 'ultra conservative.' ****ing hell.

Oh don't even start me on the entire "England stick with the same player, are conservative and risk-averse" bollox, I mean Ballance, Moeen, Root, Buttler, Stokes, Jordan really have been around for ages, we really need fresh blood. grr.

England can't win here. If they went with 4 bowlers I'm sure people wouldn't be happy with that either.

 

[Furball]

They've gone with 4 bowlers here as well. I'm not counting Stokes as a proper, frontline bowler.

 

[Furball]

lol, play that.

 

[Pothas]

Oh that is so good.

 

[Furball]

haha that's hit leg ffs.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Can't really slag off Brathwaite for that, one of those balls and you just have to take it on the chin and walk off.

 

[weldone]

Anderson in these conditions is like Kumble in Feroze Shah Kotla day 5.

 

[Furball]

Imagine how good Anderson could be if McDermott got his hands on him for 6 months. Still bowling half a yard too short.

This was kind of the last great performance before he dragged his length back: 1st Test: England v Pakistan at Nottingham, Jul 29-Aug 1, 2010 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
