*Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

That's one of the worst shots I've seen from a non Indian/Pakistani openers.

 

[trundler]

Almost another wicket fell there. England won't last here. Hope it flattens out and Anderson cops a thrashing.

 

[King Pietersen]

This has got the feeling of becoming another of those days watching England.

No surprise there. He's an English top order batsman, and we stopped producing them several years ago. The garbage produced by our "FC" system would embarrass an associate country.

It seems there are no good openers left in world cricket. These are tough conditions TBF.

 

[trundler]

I have sympathy for the openers but holy hell that was a terrible shot. Burns copped a peach though.

 

[vcs]

The ball moving around so much has got to **** with their minds though. Often see a couple of loose shots leading to wickets on greentops because the batsmen crave a release shot.

Hope Sammy C outbowls Jimmy

 

[Woodster]

Yes it doesn’t look easy out there. Some swing, some shape, bit of inconsistency off the pitch, so have we got it in us to get through this, it’ll surely get easier.

 

[Borges]

It was just a shot by a debutant who failed to hold his nerve. He should be given a little leeway.

 

[trundler]

This pitch may just be a bit too green. Bounce varying too much for day one.

Yes but like Zaman in SA, it clearly shows be ain't gonna make it.

The green is deceiving. Variable bounce on offer here

How does a pitch and outfield like this pass muster for a Test?

Yeah it's not great is it?

See: the first test at this ground. Go on, Google it.

 

[trundler]

Yeah it's on the extreme side. Here at CW we're always going to be a lot less hostile to a grassbed than a featherbed heh.

Well, Joe Denly hates it so much that he couldn't wait to get back into the pavilion

 

[vcs]

What's wrong with the pitch? Way too soon to judge it.

 

[Borges]

This is not a grassbed,
