*Official* England in West Indies 2022

[Lillian Thomson]

Why has Stokes bowled more than Mahmood

Because he's the only threat.

 

[Bahnz]

Looks like draws are back on the menu boys

 

[Lillian Thomson]

What an idiot. No sympathy at all.

 

[ataraxia]

How many current England's bowlers "first" test wicket's were no balls?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Unlucky. I wonder how many Blackwood will get now.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Gower (and I quote): "Jeetan Patel acknowledged as one of the best spinners of modern times".
What? Maybe in England, not in NZ.

My god I’m bored.surely the powers that be should be handing out disciplinary for the dross wickets That have been produced.The game will die if this d rubbish continues

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Well done Kraigg. WI looking good to avoid the follow on. Draw this, then thrash England in the 3rd hopefully.

 

[Preed]

Where is Marlon Samuels when you need him?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is the Barmy Army singing 'Rally round the West Indies'?

I hear something like it

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Will be great if these 2 avoid the follow on.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Looks like it's gonna be umpire's call

Yeah just bat on here for as long as possible

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah just bat on here for as long as possible

Oops.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

That was the worst review in history, and a terrible "shot" as well.

Only been listening on the radio (and reading the cricinfo commentary) but seems like a bad (or least underwhelming) day for Leach. Not much in it for the seamers but some decent spin by the sounds of it. Little unlucky to not pick up more than 1 wicket but hasn't really made enough opportunities given the quality of batsman, match position and the turn on offer.

And Lawrence takes a wicket as i write this. I think Root has rotated around the seamers fairly wisely this game, but it has been a surprise Root and Lawrence haven't bowled a little more to break up the game.
