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

[SillyCowCorner1]

The discussion shouldn't be about motie vs sinclair as bowlers, no? Sinclair is the best red ball bat in the carribean right now, he should be playing over hodge.

Hodge in the recent 4 day comp:334 runs @37
Sinclair: 508 runs @63

Hodge vs Australia:115 @29
Sinclair: 64 @64

To this team, Sinclair is considered a bowling all-rounder. To Guyana Harpy Eagles' he was a batting all-rounder. That's the difference. He was batting higher up in the latter than the former.

Isn't it kind of dumb that he's been viewed as a bowling allrounder at test level when he's clearly better than that? The guy made 50 in his first ever test innings against Starc-Cummins-Hazelwood-Lyon-Green. He's a class above a 31 YO who's averages sub 30 in FC and is coming off a subpar 4 day competition.

I agree with you. If we had any spine, we'd play him as a pure batsman in the middle-order. But it seems as though the management have different plans for him.

Sanga looking like Kunal Nayar from BBT

Hard to believe that the West Indies won at the Gabba in their last completed Test match, quite a pathetic performance so far from them here at Lords.

Somebody should remind the gobshite Mr Paine about them winning that match.

Isa's peaks (the ones on her arms i.e.) about the same size. Sums up Windies cricket these days.

Oliie is locked in. Back to back fours.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Alzarri's length is too full this over. Licks like peas.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Gotta do your research on these batters, lads. Don't lose the plot.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Line it up Jayden.

 

[CartyDurham]

Pope in a hurry. 18 off 12

There looked to be some promise from the top of the Windies order but they couldn't kick on. Thought the middle order was utterly rubbish. Can't say I was surprised to see Holder and Da Silva fail where they did. Like the look of the Windies bowling lineup but they are not defending enough.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Another maiden over in England's innings. We are bowling better than other teams.

Let dem smell de leddah!

Not a ball bowled by spin today

have the West Indies got a decent spinner?
