*Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

[hazsa19]

Really impressive from these 2. Even if they both get out now they’ve pretty much guaranteed they’ll get a lead, probably a significant one.

You just know Root will come out with the ‘we had chances’ and ‘we were unfortunate’ bollocks. But the truth is our batting was wasteful and reckless again while the West Indians are willing to work hard.

Apparently it's now almost 100 overs since we took a wicket in this series.

Lol Anderson. Cant even keep it together on green seamers away from home lololol.

RR over 2. Great, stoic opening partnership.

That tends to be my take on it, despite Cook's assurances to the contrary. We see these guys collapse too often for it to be any other way.

Anderson can't even keep it together on green seamers ? Hmmm.

Campbell doesn't mind playing his shots. Had his share of luck today, really needs to capitalize on it.

EDIT : Nope, Stokes gets him

 

[trundler]

Ow. Deserved a 50.

Away from home.

Facetious comment.

 

[Andy1993]

Finally a wicket! Campbell had played well, another good opening partnership for the windies! Much needed wicket.

The grand idea is that making Anderson look worse than he is would somehow make McGrath look better than he was. This is standard CricketWeb stuff.

 

[wpdavid]

Yup, let's keep gifting them overthrows & byes when we're defending 187.

 

[trundler]

Watching that away average of 34 plummet further gives me great schadenfreude pleasure.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Yeah Bishop. Give them Archer

Did all the hard work for 40 odd and then throws it away.

 

[Andy1993]

Got his team a start though and 3rd 50 run opening partnership in a row for him and Brathwaite

That's the good thing of the Campbell-Brathwaite duo. They complement each other in terms of left-right combination & attack-defense

Agreed. I think the match was effectively settled when they saw off the first 25 overs.

 

[Borges]

England are behind, but still in the game. Need a wicket (or two) before lunch.

 

[vcs]

WI are in charge here. Just a matter of how efficiently they can grind England down without giving them a sniff.

True that
