Roach has been superb on this tour.

Interesting

123 looking a much better total now than when I walked in at 5.30

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Talking of people who shouldn't be on the ashes tour.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Roach has been superb on this tour.

what ails his pace though? Still as talented as I remember but so down on speed. A chronic injury that he's carrying?

 

[fredfertang]

Shouldn't he have a short leg?

 

[Stapel]

Harsh, I guess. Figured the impact was outside. Umpire was very quick to give it.

Good bowling though by the West Indian fast bowlers!

I was starting to enjoy Westleys effort then. Lost concentration for a ball and that's all it took. Shame, as the second innings may well be his last effort.

Think the injuries he had have blunted the speed given his age. Simple as that.

1 to 11 for WI win. Worth a tenner, methinks.

WI were 22/1. England were 20/3.

WI is missing a 4th seamer in these conditions.

 

[Daemon]

Classic England sfa/3 before Root gets it to 120 odd with a breezy half century and then gets out

 

[smash84]

this is getting better

it was 1 to 8 before the test began at my local TAB machine. Hell yeah I got onto that lol. Was gonna keep quiet about it but hey at least they arent yet out of it

So, England 3 down for under 50 again? Expect them to get to 350 with 80s from Root, Moeen and Bairstow then.

not putting any money before 7 wickets go down - trust me odds will be good even if they get 7 for 70

tbh, in the 2015 Ashes this was exactly the sort of situation where he got a breezy counterattacking 120 and broke the opposition completely, so.

one down two to go

so Stoneman I'd say is still likely to make the ashes tour(though Hameed is a chance at starting now) but surely Westley cannot be taken after this start to his career. The commentators will rip into him as soon as his batting average pops up on screen
