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

Holder, a more than able bat.

Come on boys, 200

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Lot of balls remaining. 220 is on!

Does Narine no longer player ODIs? Has he not fulfilled criteria for selection, or has he personally given up on the format?

He hasn't played 50 overs for a long time and said he wants to play our domestic 50 over tournament before trying out ODI's. Therefore he didn't put himself up for selection.

 

[Beamer]

Brainless batting performance IMHO. Sluggish pitch, huge boundaries. So it was crying out for the rotation of strike with the occasional boundary. Instead it was the usual all or nothing dot ball or boundary approach.

Shai Hope looks great at the crease but he needs to learn to rotate strike more effectively. Samuels was also very tardy.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Finally over 200

 

[Scaly piscine]

Rested from his home ground. Bowls a full quota in the next match.

Nice lower order rally from Holder there. Not the easiest pitch for ODI's and big boundaries so I don't think it will be a cakewalk for England but I'd surprised if they don't chase it, especially if the due makes the ball skid on a bit more.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Runs on the board.

How many overs you think Holder will give Bishoo?

 

[Beamer]

How many overs you think Holder will give Bishoo?

5 if he is lucky

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

5 if he is lucky

Luckily there is no Roston Chase in the squad or else Bishoo would have been a spectator

Probably wise. Didn't want him falling through the decaying stands of Chester le Street.

Watching highlights, predominant thought is that the PA playing 'take the long way home' while Marlon Samuels walks off is genius. More of that, less 'another one bites the dust', please

Edit: also, unless they've omitted a bunch of drops, they've caught pretty well today, good sign

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is too easy for Hales

 

[Howe_zat]

This is too easy for Hales

I guess he agreed with you.

 

[YorksLanka]

brilliant drop n run cricket from these two..

 

[Howe_zat]

brilliant drop n run cricket from these two..

yeah classy one-day batting.

 

[Howe_zat]

I understand this isn't so much tempting fate as throwing it a huge middle finger, but this looks like an absolute walk in the park right now.

You're allowed to jinx in meaningless ODI's, would rather an exciting loss than a boring win, but that maybe just me.

I know where you're coming from, this is why test matches are infinitely more interesting. Well played lads, I bet Willey has his kit packed away already!
