England tour of the Windies 11:51 - Jan 23 with 12131 viewsjimsymBLUE

Think this could be a really good series just like the Sri Lanka tour with lots of fast scoring/flowing tests.
West Indies look half decent especially in the bowling stakes with Gabriel, Roach and Holder all very good performers.
My team although they won't go for it would be...
Burns
Woakes (they'll go Jennings)
Bairstow
Root
Stokes
Buttler
Foakes
Ali
Curran/Rashid on conditions
Broad
Jimmy.

I'll predict a 2-1 England victory, chucked in a half day today to watch..always loved the Caribbean test matches, the 90 tour is probably the first away series I remember. Gooch, Lamb, Ned Larkins taking it to Marshall, Ian Bishop, Patrick Patterson and Walsh (Ambrose couldn't get in the side!!)...conch shells in the background and Tony Lewis on the mike, great stuff!!

'Fraid so, tho I call it something else ...


Their cricket coverage is pretty good actually, pretty much advert-free during play. The win-up merchant phone-ins are not to everybody's taste but their actual coverage of sporting events is very good.

A competitive start from the Windies which should make for a decent game in terms of length. Seems like a batsman’s pitch for the first few days. Hoping for a tight series to test England ahead of the Ashes

I remember hearing the winning runs to go 1 up in the series in Jamaica, when on the coach coming back from from a hammering at a freezing cold and wet Boundary Park. After watching/listening to three 5-0 whitewashes from the Windies in the 80s, it felt very surreal.

Very much enjoying Hetmayer's white floppy hat...very Sunday 2's on the village green. May regret dropping him on 1 though.

He's very impressive.

But so is Jimmy yet again. 240/5 and seven overs to go.

6 down for 250. That's probably tipped the first day honours our way.

Even more so with that one. Jimmy, the new ball and some poor batting have undone a lot of good work for WI.

Absolutely phenomenal from the old boy. Stokes taken up the slack as well. Think we are marginally in front even though we'll inevitably be 50-3 at some point tomorrow.

Eight down now. Definitely on top, 24/5 in last few overs.

And, yes, if course we will be.

I won't be listening until late evening if that's any reassurance.

OK, will give it a try, thanks, hadn't realised about the pretty much ad-free during play.

Tune in. Second ball I hear. Bairstow chops on.

I wonder how often in the last two years, we have been 3 down for less than 50.

All the fours - Root goes for 4, England 44-4.

It’s good for us, I think we need a reality check before the Ashes so to find ourselves struggling now will hopefully be a learning curve.

Great bowling from Holder and Roach, seem a good double act.

5 down. Stokes lbw. Sounds marginal decision according to radio.

On a positive note, it would be great for world cricket if the Windies were good again.

More than a hint of 51 all out in 2009 and 47 all out in 1994.

I think this shows what our attack could do with some express pace in it.
