*Official* England in West Indies 2022

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Woakes.

 

[grecian]

Mahmood has been pretty unlucky here, could have had a few.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Another good session for England...a good chance they will be batting at stumps today with 4 down.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Lower-order partnerships are fun

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Well done Da Silva. Keep going!

 

[GotSpin]

Decent partnership this

 

[kevinw]

Have England have one decent new ball spell in this series?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

This is awful. Both teams should have their Test status revoked.

 

[honestbharani]

Outstanding performance by both tails.

 

[Hogey]

Da Silva is a gem. He's a Ridley Jacobs without Lara, Chanderpaul or Sarwan

 

[Aritro]

Delayed gratification has been a theme of Brooks' career. As a teenager, he was part of two Under-19 World Cup squads, even captaining West Indies in the 2008 edition. But he found it hard to take to first-class cricket. Brooks wanted to be an electrical engineer if not a cricketer, a switch that might have played on his mind when he was dropped by Barbados in 2012, having made only one fifty after his debut in 2007.

Wow, five years without a first class 50.

I love how he's able to put his shots away and just bat. For a young guy who can bat aggressively, it's impressive.

I'd love to see him best higher up the order.

In one way the Windies bat so deep. De Silva at 8 and Alzarri 9…before considering how poor some of the opening and middle options are

Sajid would bat 10 for them. Big think.

 

[ataraxia]

Sajid would open for them tbf

and score 7 (77)

Not a bad take, but England's bowling performance isn't as egregious as allowing no's 10 and 11 to top score

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Joshua's been keen on picking up the runs this morning.

Kemar is flashing at some balls and missing...

 

[Lillian Thomson]

No sympathy with that. Use reviews properly.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Crap umpiring.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Crap captaincy. Instead of spreading the field to give a single do something radical like trying to get him out. Absolute dogs breath hour from England.
