***Official*** West Indies Tour of the UK 2017

[Kirkut]

Congrats Jimmy, greatest fast bowler from England. Probably the greatest bowler from England too, you never know!

West Indies need to get to 250 somehow. A target of 180-200 should be defendable if they bowl OK. Looking forward to the day's play, a bottle of Evan Williams for company on this here rainy day.

Gods it would be good if they got to 250 and the clouds just came in

Glad I saw the 500 moment at my dads yesterday. Great to see. Should be a good day today if Hope gets a big score, make it a tight test. He gets out in opening half hour it could be a bit easy for England.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This test proves that last test was no flash in the pan, theres a lot to work with talent wise in current windies team, hope they go from strength to strength in future

True, though like many sides at present they are heavily reliant on a core of players performing well for them to compete. Sadly they carry a few more than most of the other sides which hopefully is rectified in time.

 

[GotSpin]

The big difference that I notice is that they don't completely give up when things start going poorly

 

[MW1304]

It really is a shame he's an absolute **** bloke though

He's a **** in the same way McGrath was a ****. i.e. not really.

Whoa man, Fred Trueman'd have something to say about that.

Anyway, congratulations to Anderson. 500 wickets is, put simply, a lot of wickets.

Whoa man, Fred Trueman'd have something to say about that.

It'd probably be similar to what he had to say about Lillee

 

[Howe_zat]

Oh Jimmy Jimmy! Textbook.

While England's slip fielding has been poor in this series, Bairstow has been very safe. People have gone very quiet about his keeping which is a good sign

 

[Firebreaker]

Thank God Chase is gone.Watching him bat is testing your patience

 

[Howe_zat]

Shai Hope has hit more runs in this series than the rest of his career put together. He'd played 10 matches before this tour

 

[Firebreaker]

If TRJ bowls as many overs as Broad he would get way more wickets

Just looks at home in Test Cricket. We could do with him.

Jimmy and Broad bowling well this morning. Real test for the batsmen

 

[OverratedSanity]

It'd probably be similar to what he had to say about Lillee

The president-chairman-treasurer bit was so good.

 

[fredfertang]

Awful shot, awful drop

 

[Howe_zat]

I am so bloody sick of the drops.

 

[hazsa19]

What's their problem with the ball? Surely all they're worried about is that it swings, which it is.

 

[Gnske]

Reminder there are people on this forum who rate Blackwood seriously

 

[hazsa19]

That was the tiniest of edges, if it was.

 

[King Pietersen]

Blackwood is boss. I think he's my favourite cricketer.
