Hard to root for England sometimes tbh1

Not sure how Woakes is still getting a game.0

For all the reasons I've suggested above and ones which I have also disagreed with - because he bats at 8 and they don't want the tail to start there plus they probably have concerns about Stokes' ability to bowl long spells given that he has bowled 80 overs in a short period of time. They are thinking if we play Parkinson, we are substituting a player who averages 7 in First Class cricket for one who averages 28 in Tests and should Stokes break down, then they would be left with a relatively inexperienced Overton at this level and a rookie in the shape of Mahmood to bowl with the new ball.Callumcafc said:Not sure how Woakes is still getting a game.
In an ideal world, you have the fantastic situation that the great West Indies and Australian sides found themselves in - seven top batsmen including a wicket keeper and either an all rounder or someone who could turn their arm over and offer some respite for the bowlers plus four world class bowlers. Unfortunately, we are a long way off that and the inclination is and has been for a long time that we would rather draw a Test rather than run the risk of losing it. One win in 16 Tests going back 15 months is hardly great.

Windies have won the toss and inserted England on a track that is green and has a few cracks already0

England fans at 2.30pm today: 'Oh please give us back those flat decks'1

I understand that BT have brought Michael Vaughan back?
(I say understand as not switched my iPad on yet as I'm by the pool!) but surely BT cant drop him for 'values not consistent with those held by BT' only to bring him back a few months later?0 -
Yes, Vaughan is back.0

Perhaps, in the intervening months, BT Sport have changed their values and now agree with him...JohnBoyUK said:I understand that BT have brought Michael Vaughan back?

Only 2 overs in but it certainly looks like the pitch has more in it than the last two0

I simply cannot understand how an England opening batsman like Lees, more often than not, plays the ball with such a closed face because it doesn't come down straight. He keeps looking behind him to check that it isn't closed but it ends up being so by the time it comes down and as a result he hardly times a thing. Maybe I'm being too pedantic and he's the modern day batting equivalent of Malinga or Murali.0

This wicket looks like a result wicket and I'm hoping that the WI will regret making England bat first.
I'll take a punt and say England to win.0 -
23-0 off 10
What price that Lees would be the one on 15* (32) and Crawley on 6* (27)0 -
Wtf was that from Crawley?
23-1 Crawley 70 -
I was just about to say how well Crawley was doing to rein himself back in and then he plays a drive on the up and straight to cover
23-1
Crawley 7 (36)
Lees 15* (38)

Soft dismissal. Batting at 3 will be much more of a test for Root than in the previous 2 matches0

As you were saying. Root gone for a duck. Announces as he walks off that this is the last time that he will bat at 3killerandflash said:Soft dismissal. Batting at 3 will be much more of a test for Root than in the previous 2 matches
29-20 -
The terrifying pace of Kyle Mayers doing for England here. To be fair this means that Craig Overton is going to pick up six for nothing when WI bat1

England should have picked Darren Stevens!1

Stevens is playing his second Kent game and hasn't bowled a ball yet so clearly conserving his body for that call upkillerandflash said:England should have picked Darren Stevens!1 -
This pitch is quite like an English one, so a perfect chance for Woakes to actually look dangerous overseas1

Lawrence LBW for 8 (32)
46-3
Normal service resumed0 -
It's rare these days that top order batsmen just accept LBWs without reviewing them.0

This is hard work. That last ball to Lees was unplayable.0

46-3 off 27 at lunch
Lees 26* (80)
Stokes 0* (5)0 -
This is because three batting reviews is absolutely fucking ridiculous, it should be twokillerandflash said:It's rare these days that top order batsmen just accept LBWs without reviewing them.0 -
Forgot this started today. I said on the last day of the 2nd test that there only needs to be 1 bad session & that team will lose. Yep.....its England.
Result already not in doubt. Windies to win inside 4 days.1 -

Or three reviews and the team loses the review for "Umpire's Call".Leuth said:
