*Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

[Qlder]

Third 50 opening partnership in a row from these two. Solid starts

 

[GIMH]

Hoping this match is poised for an exciting day 4 finish, ending fairly late on day 4

 

[CartyDurham]

Little bit of luck for Louis there

England not quite getting the bowling right so far and the West Indies are looking comfortable albeit with having a little bit of good fortune

im enjoying this start to the match

Brathwaite 50 up Be nice if he can get a ton

 

[Howe_zat]

Missing Jimmy tbh

Look up any Anderson highlight reel and it's almost guaranteed to show him having Kraigg Brathwaite for breakfast at least once

 

[CartyDurham]

that was a beauty and Louis goes c Smith b Atkinson 26 off 61

76 for 1.

looking at the replay , I think Atkinson hit the perfect length on that delivery

the West Indies have done well to get this far as there is definitely a lot of swing and movement off the seam

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Walking wicket Kirk comes in. Cue the collapse

 

[CartyDurham]

I loved that play by Mackenzie

@Qlder your 100 for 1 lunch score prediction is looking well on here

maybe not. Mark Wood cleans up Mackenzie with a beautiful inswinger at high pace

thank god he doesn’t just have pace as far as I’m concerned

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Just a dumb dude this.

 

[CartyDurham]

Last over before lunch the compulsory spin option ?

was that a drop by pope ? No but it was a bullet onto his ankle

 

[Howe_zat]

Pope has caught a bunch of great short leg takes so it's completely unfair to hold that against him. I might later

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Flibberty reckons carty is West Indian imo

Na. Think the Durham is a giveaway. They are all balanced up there, chips on both shoulders

 

[reyrey]

Atkinsons right arm/bicep looks about 2 inches bigger than his left. Assuming he hasn't had polio.

 

[CartyDurham]

That was not the shot to the last ball before lunch

Athanze plays on and gifts a wicket to Atkinson

97 for 3 Lunch

the more I see of Atkinson he reminds me of a faster Bresnan

 

[sledger]

Pretty good session for the Windies. Should imagine they are quite pleased with that overall.

 

[GIMH]

Did you write this before the 3rd wicket?

Still a fairly even session nonetheless

 

[mackembhoy]

An absolute gift by Athanaze

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Decent session for England. Lose toss and get a couple is always good.

McKenzie is nowhere near an international player. Sad for the lad, not his fault he is out of his depth.

Poor shot by Athanaze to gift another one before lunch. Our session completely

Oh yeah, oops lol. My feed is delayed.

 

[CartyDurham]

Na. Think the Durham is a giveaway. They are all balanced up there, chips on both shoulders

No chance as I would eat them if left there

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah that 3rd wicket definitely swings it. Athanaze has a bit more about him then the other two from what we've seen so far so having him in the hutch matters.
