*Official* West Indies Tour of England 2020

Sibley should just be trying to get Stokes on strike at the moment. He's looking red hot

 

[Pothas]

Is the our biggest partnership since Stokes and Bairstow added 399 at Cape Town four years ago?

There was that Root and Cook one here. Not sure how big it was in the end.

 

[Beamer]

This is possibly the most frustrating day our bowlers have had in years. Beating the edge regularly even now. Hope they can somehow stick at it, but it looks like Stokes is really going to make them pay.

Will be soon. Cook and Root put on 257 at the Oval during Cook's last innings. https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...team=1;template=results;type=fow;view=innings

That Cape Town stand was the biggest for 60 years at time (and second biggest England partnership ever).

He is definitely trying. Think he would better off just thinking about scoring himself.

Didn't they also share a big partnership in Cooks last game?

Cook and Root put on 259 for the 3rd wicket against India in at the Oval in 2018.

Thank you gents.

Shame but probably a good thing to have him get out now.

 

[Starfighter]

He's finally gone for it.

 

[wpdavid]

And gone. I'm looking forward to more of this over the next few years.

 

[Beamer]

Not sure we wanted to take that wicket......

 

[Neptune]

Great innings for Sibley. Well done, time to kick on now with our lower order.

 

[Howe_zat]

Hey, he tried

 

[GotSpin]

Does Stokes use sunscreen?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Get the feeling we may have found an opening pair we will stick with until the ashes then one or both will get worked over and dropped.

 

[Howe_zat]

Since recording the number of balls faced, that's actually the third slowest partnership of 250+ in Tests. The other two were scored in the last 10 years, 100 internet points if you can guess them.

Nah. Dropped immediately before the Ashes. That's the big brain play.

 

[Starfighter]

Do the umpires think the batsmen have chimp arms?

 

[Shri]

Did Sibley just run 100 runs out of 120?
