***Official*** West Indies in England (Pointless 2 T20 series for Sky's benefit)

Fatboy Slim gets Fatboy Fat.

Miles Bascombe looks possibly the worst International cricketer I've ever seen. He wouldn't get a gig at 95% of county 2nd XIs.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Couldn't realistically not give that one. Stone dead.

Sigh. Be chasing a two digit score at this rate.

Samuels seems to have the same top as Bascombe too, so it's just completely random allocation of tops.

 

[OMM!]

I just don't get "it" with Borthwick. Looks fairly mediocre to me. Rashid is better!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Borthwick's watched a lot of Warne. His follow through is basically plagiarism.

Well of anyone I'd have him plagiarise, that's not a bad start.

He's wearing a jumper, that's why it looks different. You'll see quite a few of them in the field.

This is horrendous from Borthwick so far.

Where is Briggs?!

 

[OMM!]

Finally lands one! Nice little googly.

His googly's ok tho but, eh?

Jeez, give the kid a chance, ffs.

 

[Howe_zat]

Was that a googly?

Looking good is the kid.

 

[MW1304]

Nice googly lad, good bowling.

I hope Bairstow & Buttler open the batting.

 

[OMM!]

Before that wicket he had bowled 16 balls in International cricket and landed about 2! (And both of those were smashed for six by Kevin O'Brien!)

He's definitely not as good as Rashid or Briggs in my opinion. Getting Johnson Charles out on a raging bunsen or not.

We should've batted first, as unprofessional as that may've been.

Barnwell not picking Borthwick at all. Except a carve soon.

44 off 10 overs is not great in any conditions.

So ****ing what, he's a young leg spinner who the England coaches have seen something in and they're giving him a chance, what's the rush to start slagging him off?

Nearly three whole overs, eh? Yeah, not a kneejerk reaction even slightly then.

TBF sometimes kneejerk reactions can be spot on, most people can tell OMM! is an idiot from one post

 

[OMM!]

These guys do play outside of England Internationals you know?

I've seen Rashid, Briggs and Borthwick ten or fifteen times a piece this year. Briggs is number 1, Rashid 2nd and Borthwick 3rd.
