*Official* West Indies Tour of England 2020

I suspect Stokes is about to try and bounce the **** out of it.

Bess being dominated

What are they doing playing flamboyant drives in a situation like this FFS

I mean the chase isn't that impossible and I think these two only have one gear (well Blackwood anyway who's doing most of the attacking). When Dowrich and Holder are out there I think they'll play far more conservatively.

I get the feeling Stokes will have the final say one way or another.

 

[vcs]

Not saying they should pat back full tosses and half volleys but now that they're set it'd be dumb to give it away with an airy fairy drive off a ball a foot outside off stump

 

[MW1304]

Better over that, still not a ton in the pitch to work with though.

 

[vcs]

That's a great ball, no shame being beaten by a delivery like that.

 

[TestMatch]

WI always look shaky when Brathwaite doesn't do well. They desperately needed him to soak up a couple hours this morning.

 

[Howe_zat]

The draw has to be more likely than not if they go into tea four down.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bat on guys

 

[Groundking]

Need to break this partnership before t, can't see us getting 6 wickets in the final session.

 

[Neptune]

We?re bottling this.

 

[Daemon]

Stokes going for the Wagner lines

Wonder how long Blackwood can resist

 

[Jack1]

Said England should have picked Leach.
Not convinced by Bess personally. Missed review hasnt helped either

You'd think that Broad will have a spell straight after tea. If that doesn't see a breakthrough or two then WI are safe enough.

 

[TestMatch]

Blackwood telling Brooks to calm down and play sensibly.

 

[vcs]

How many overs left for tea?

 

[wpdavid]

Most of these short balls from Stokes are too short or not well enough directed. Root needs to change things around.

 

[Daemon]

Stokes can do anything

- Plays an excruciatingly slow knock to get to 100 then accelerates and ends up with 170+
- Bowls a marathon 11 over spell and breaks the 80 run partnership
- ****ing opens the batting and smashes 70 odd from 50.
- As if he's not tired enough, he's now bowling bouncers every ball at slightly under 90mph.

What a cricketer

 

[vcs]

Great strike, Brooks takes on long on and just clears him

50 up
