And he shouldn't have played in the first test, nore should he be playing here. 100% he was the correct selection in Sri Lanka. 100% he isn't now. A number 9 should be a front line bowler in these conditions, he isn't, sorry.
Bowling really well. Nothing going his way at the moment. But I get the feeling that if we get one out a mini collapse could easily happen on this wicket.
some good bowling but some very intelligent batting by the west indies. take note England.
Quite - it's almost as if the West Indies are playing like we used to years ago in just trying to occupy the crease in the knowledge that the runs will eventually come. And we are trying to play like the West Indies used to in paying little regard to the pitch and bowling and attempting to hit our way out of any given situation.
Trouble is they are doing a better impression of us than we are of them.
Imagine if we produced pitches like the first two in this series for the Ashes. People that had tickets for the 3rd day would be worried about not seeing any cricket let alone those that had them for the 4th!
If there's one thing we've learnt from the last few years of Test cricket, it's that if the collapse is on, it's quite hard to stop. England can surge here
