***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

Looks like the 2nd wicket won't be long in coming.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bang!

Another one bites the dust!

 

[Aidan11]

England's test openers out there now.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Haven't seen Oshane in a while. A slight change in his action.

 

[GIMH]

I see Bazball is alive and well. 0-76 off 8 overs, then 2-77

Bazball being completely relevant to a team Baz has nothing to do with of course

idiot

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Good first over from Oshane. He got his radar right.

 

[mackembhoy]

Not watching but I don't really like this play 4 openers as the top 4.

Hain should be in there at 3.

I think they see Crawley as the successor to Root, which probably makes some sense. Salt and Jacks the best pairing for the style of cricket we want to play IMO

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Athanaze is flying in the field.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

**** Off! Duckett

 

[Beamer]

I don't think we've bowled badly tbh. Salt was unreal at hitting length balls. Was quite a spectacle.

I like the side selected, it is what I'd have gone with.

 

[Aidan11]

This isn't going to plan.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Crawley should be there until the end. Oshane with the tight line in his spell so far...lets one stray outside off and Zak's eyes lit up

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

And he's getting in his groove now, Crawley.

Yeah really funny how the test openers are 3 and 4 in the ODIs for England. Wonder if that ever happened before? I suppose we had Sachin and Sourav batting 4 and 5 in tests, but opening in ODIs. But this is the other way, lol.

 

[Aidan11]

Terrible drop.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Catches win matches bro

True, but dropping the right player can get you a really big payout from Crawley's Dad iirc.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Another drop.

Crawley is batting with the same luck as Marnus

 

[Aidan11]

Good partnership developing here.
