[CartyDurham]

Those clips of Bish getting Nass out

Wonder if Bish misses his hair ?

 

[King Kane]

Great banter with Bish and Nasser reminiscing about the good old days.

They were the good old days for the West Indies, not so much for England.

Agreed. I remember that series but the images look ancient compared to today

iirc Carl Hooper got one to roll along the deck to get Nasser out as well

 

[Uppercut]

Looked like we might have a game on there but this bowling is so toothless.

 

[BazBall21]

Both 35* (46).

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Looked like we might have a game on there but this bowling is so toothless.

The only way they look like taking a wicket is the hit back past the bowler and hope they get a touch on it to deflect it on to the non strikers stumps.

 

[ashley bach]

Can't even score at 5 an over with the ball nice and hard

Bazball is dead

 

[CartyDurham]

I don’t think the West Indies have found the right length on this pitch , this session

 

[ashley bach]

Both 35* (46).

[CartyDurham]

By he timed that well Duckett

Bishop had a good record and for injuries, could've been even better.

Also noticed he had a pretty handy FC batting conversion rate too. 3 50s 2 100s.

He was nasty but look at the zip on those Windies wickets of old.

 

[CartyDurham]

Bit of spin coming on

could do the job

 

[wpdavid]

Both 35* (46).

Apparently the lead was 35 as well.

 

[CartyDurham]

Duckett again on the sweep

@ashley bach may row back now on not expecting England to score 360

 

[CartyDurham]

Duckett 52 up

Playing well *

 

[Woodster]

Looked like we might have a game on there but this bowling is so toothless.

There were long periods of yesterday where England looked a little toothless, just the extreme pace of Wood that upset the players footwork and decision making. Also Stokes was constantly working on different strategies to try and make something happen.

It’s a flat one and you would say this WI attack probably lack the consistency in hitting their areas to try and strangle England.

 

[ashley bach]

The days of Marshall Holding Garner Roberts Croft Bishop Patterson now seems a distant memory.

 

[CartyDurham]

Ooh the Mrs has just put a plate of Ham and Beetroot sandwiches in front of me

happy days

 

[Chin Music]

Without trying to tempt providence, these two have batted well without taking too many chances. That said, some of the bowling has been poor to say the least.
