*Official* England in West Indies 2022

[Aritro]

Campbell might be in his element here. For all his limitations, he has a good temperament if I remember right. Could very slowly make a decent score by doing nothing silly on this deck.

 

[ImpatientLime]

woakes barely got it above 80mph in that opening spell.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Kraigg batting like Campbell

I like the run rate

 

[grecian]

Okay, take it back Impatient Lime clearly right. Do feel a bit sorry for them though, not their fault they're demonstrably worse then people that they've been left out for.

 

[ImpatientLime]

wtf am i watching?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

When did the aliens take over Kraigg Braithwaite's body? Has he ever scored 29 at a run a ball?

 

[grecian]

Nice maiden over from Leach eh? good we're in the keeping the runs down and restricting the lead stage.

 

[OverratedSanity]

God I hope england continue to get smashed, have no confidence in WI though. Amazing that ecb somehow made Broad and Anderson into the good guys I'm now rooting for.

Anybody watch the interview with Botham and Viv? I wasn't fully engaged and missed what they were talking about with Viv being treated poorly and Ian leaving in protest?

 

[trundler]

That was delightfully insipid from England, particularly Woakes.

Would be about Somerset. The board thought it was best to move them on (Viv, Botham, and Garner) in 1986 for Martin Crowe who was a better player by that stage as the other 3 were in decline and hard to captain for Peter Roebuck.

 

[TheJammyTurtle]

Broad and Jimmy loving this spell from Woakes...

 

[Beamer]

Yo, why is Joseph playing ahead of C Holder?

Chemar has gone off the boil. I would have played Anderson Phillip ahead of him personally, but Alzarri's handy lower order batting might have counted in his favour.

 

[ImpatientLime]

reckon root might be England's best bet with the ball here

 

[ImpatientLime]

looooool kraiggy after that IPL deal

 

[Number 11]

Only Braithwaite's 11th six in 11000ish test balls.

 

[Beamer]

That is such a dross dismissal. Awful bowling, awful batting

 

[ImpatientLime]

strangle babyyyyyyy

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Another promising start from Campbell that goes to waste. Typical.

 

[theegyptian]

Getting kinda bored of the Broad/Anderson chat.

We won exactly 0/3 series' with those two in the side in the West Indies.
We'd probably have been 240 all out with Broad/Anderson in the side over Woakes/Overton.

Not saying I agree with the selection but please give it a rest.
