Decent draw by WI but you can't bowl out a team on the first day for 169 runs and they can come back in the match to have a chance to win it. That says alot about WI not being able to consistently bowl well throughout the game. The next test match the bowling unit needs to be seriously looked at.

Drop Gabriel, play Chase

Drop Gabriel, play Chase

Well, I actually agree with you.

They should drop Blackwood as well.

Agreed.

Well, I actually agree with you.

They should drop Blackwood as well.

Blackwood was the best performing batsman in the truncated FC season last year ending his last match with a double hundred.
His last 10 test innings contains 1 hundred and 2 50s and some 20s and 30s.
This match is the forst one in his last 5 he has two single digit scores.

Who would you drop him for? Shai Hope - a man whose test average in 2018, 2019 and 2020 were 20.23; 19.75 and 17.5

Drop Campbell play Bravo

[Dizzy28]

We need to drop morbidly obese

India and England in a thriller.

England needs 20 to win off 15 balls with 2 wickets in hand

[bluefete]

Well done India.

Hard luck England.

Insane finish

Ent?

India was coming apart at the seams there for a while with all those dropped catches.

Now onto some test cricket from tomorrow - WI V Sri Lanka.

Was really rooting for Curran to pull it off. Aw well. Was an entertaining innings nevertheless.

IPL on the 9th

Who allyuh like. Going to scrutinize the teams

[Dizzy28]

That English ODI batting line up is scary!!!
Power/good hitters and batsmen right down to 8.
And that's without Root and Morgan.

They also have some more Currans to call on plus players like Tom Banton, Sam Billings and they could for the past two years blacklist Alex Hales who averages 38 with a strike rate of 96.

Talent pool size to rival India's

WI went back with Campbell yes

[bluefete]

WI went back with Campbell yes

And he is out already together with Bonner (0).

WI 19/2

[Dizzy28]

WI went back with Campbell yes

The remaining two members of the test squad are Bravo and Warrican.
Unless they were going to ask a non-opener to open Campbell safe.

[DMan7]

287-7 first day total. Not bad for WI but the wickets that have fallen has been to poor shots. I wondered how much they could've made if they had stuck it out the batsmen at the top? We'd probably be looking at closer to 500 runs.

[bluefete]

^^ Agreed.

But Shakes and Dizzy28: Fat man make ANOTHER 50. Currently 55 n.o.

Wha' is allyuh story now?

[De Dragon]

^^ Agreed.

Still fat and sloppy, and the standards applied to keep out Hetmeyer and Pooran should also hold.

[killercow]

Jimbo is well aware that his size is a big factor for fitness and selection. Yet still he outperforming those 'fitter' than him.
Congrats on another 50 Jimbo!

Affirmative action for obesity?

ROFL. So wha' yuh saying? Sri Lanka making it easy for him?

Nope, it's just that obese players like Cornwall will eventually be made out, either through injury, or smarter sides figuring out how to keep him in check.

[trinigamer]

354 all out, on the stroke of lunch, Brathwaite 126 last man out.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

If Cornwall could bat like that against Ind, Eng or Aus...id say arite then

[Dizzy28]

^^ Agreed.

Big Rak surely is making us look bad with this batting consistency.

Still morbidly obese though.

There goes Campbell
