[Cricket] 1st Test, England tour of West Indies at Bridgetown, Barbados

[Titanic]

It would be a pity if England were robbed by the weather.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

If they bat all day today that would leave us 2 days where is the modern day Chris Tavare or Trevor Bailey.?

We don't need those old blockers. Chris Nash and Phil Salt would knock these off in no time.

 

[Gwylan]

To win this, England would have to get the second highest 4th innings score of all time. And if WI score another 15 runs, it would have to be the highest score.

And England win is fantasy time

Adil Rashid into the attack, from the Joel Garner End.

Holder puts his 3rd ball into the stands.

202-6, lead 414

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Opportunity for Adil to justify the selectors' choice and knock a couple over.

 

[Titanic]

Sam Curran steaming in again from the Malcolm Marshall End.

Go on Sam, put the fear of God up 'em!

Bit unkind to the Slurry Saffer… his figures are quite tidy.

Shane Dowrich 53* (93 balls, 5 fours, 1 six)

Nos. 7 & 8 making batting look easy.

WI 208-6 (54.5 overs), lead 420

Exactly 4 an over. Very neat.

Yep that is one of those records that is there for the taking and someone will get a fair bit past it in the next few years I reckon. It won't be us though

[Questions]

Indeed, there's more chance of catching Corbyn in a threesome with May and Sturgeon than a victory here for the Three Lions.

Why do think Corbyn is keeping away from Downing Street. He knows that May and Sturgeon have got him lined up.

Come on England.

 

[Titanic]

Cricinfo comms going a bit OTT...

53.3 6 Rashid to Holder, SIX runs, short and hoicked! That is savage and dismissive, leaning back on the length, who cares which way it's turning? Boshed mightily into the stands at wide long-on!

55.2 6 Rashid to Holder, SIX runs, flambeed! Clear the front dog, down on one knee, mowed majestically over cow corner! That is vast and dismissive!

Come on England.

Quite. Plan B is shaping up nicely and we don't even need a backstop!

 

[Simster]

Just seen this:

If you disregard the first two innings and the current partnership then England have dominated this game.

So you disregard the important points of the game.

Exactly 4 an over. Very neat.

Rashid keeping it tidy too... at 8's

Did he bowl in the PowerPlay though...?

 

[Titanic]

100 partnership for Holder 74* and Dowrich 55*

WI 225-6, lead 437

58.1 6 Curran to Holder, SIX runs, panned into the stands! And what a way to bring up the century stand. Leaning back on the outswinger, and pongoed over long-off! That is utterly massive!

 

[BensGrandad]

English bowling is pathetic or should we give more praise to the WI Batsmen.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Bangladesh will be watching on with great interest as, in 9th place, they are on 69pts in the ICC Test Rankings only 1pt behind the Windies...
