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 think this was the first series that was live on Sky, I remember this
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.

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

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