Turned off watching the match and only heard about the final score that WI lost later on. WI well primed for the whitewash come Sunday. If only had they won this match the series would've been opened making the match on Sunday an interesting one to watch, now I' m not taking a peep of that game.

FORMER West Indies opener and ex-CEO of the TT Cricket Board Suruj Ragoonath said Cricket West Indies (CWI) and cricket boards around the world will have a “herculean task” to keep players motivated and willing to represent their respective teams because of the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL), which became richer after a new deal.
The IPL is now pushing for an official two-and-a-half-month window in the calendar so that all the top players would be able to compete in their tournament.
Ragoonath believes that the longer format of the game is under threat.The IPL announced a deal on Tuesday with Disney Star and Viacom 18 worth over US $6 billion over a five-year period from 2023 to 2027.The deal is 2.96 times higher than the previous IPL rights deal from 2018 to 2022 which was worth US $2.55 billion.
Prior to the latest deal, IPL players were already among the best-paid athletes in the world.The West Indians chosen in the 2022 IPL auction were Dwayne Bravo, Nicholas Pooran, Jason Holder, Shimron Hetmyer, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith, Rovman Powell, Dominic Drakes, Alzarri Joseph, Sherfane Rutherford, Fabian Allen, Obed McCoy, Evin Lewis and Kyle Mayers.
They joined Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell who were retained by their respective franchises.
The total price paid for the West Indies players was US $10.855 million.Russell ($1.6 million), Pooran ($1.433 million), Holder ($1.166 million), Hetmyer ($1.133 million) and Shepherd ($1.033 million) were all signed for over one million.
England have all their best players avaliable to play. Root doesn't play IPL. Our best batsmen play IPL and have no interest in first class and test cricket. All our aggressive batsmen no longer interested in tests..... which is why we struggle to score quickly.Dizzy28 wrote:After watching around 1600 runs scored in 5 days in England to now watch WI scrape 88 runs in 47 overs is hard.
It's a test just to watch !!
