*Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

Do you think it’s a case of hedging their bets as they’re not sure how much it’s going to turn? If it doesn’t turn a great deal then maybe they don’t fancy two finger spinners and Rashid does turn it more than either of them.
Yet Leach has the best control out of the 3 of them which makes him useful if it doesn't turn.

Bowling light is an understatement.

Managed to pick a team that has 5 bowlers but is both a seamer and a spinner light.

I’m not Rashid’s biggest fan, I don’t think someone not playing first-class cricket should’ve been brought back into Test cricket anyway, but that’s gone now. I can understand his selection, it may look harsh on Leach, but I’d still want my biggest turner of the ball playing on a wicket that nobody seems sure what it’s going to do.

There are reservations over three quicks for us, but I’m sure we can get more out of Stokes. Curran is the worry for me, and I personally would have favoured Broad over him but maybe the Dukes ball swung it Curran’s way (no pun intended).

Campbell seems quite 6 happy in FC cricket and has a S/R over 60. Surprised he has played only the 5 20/20 games.

I know he swings the ball out of the hand and isn’t the quickest but I like watching Sam Curran bowl. Always nice watching a left armer swing it.
