I`m surprised noone is talking of this series. For all the talk of WI being a poor side, they`ve not been easy to beat at home. England have`nt beaten them since 2004. NZ could not for a long time either (only managed a draw I guess). SL only drew there. Pakistan struggled for a long time and just managed a win with one over to go last time. India, Aus and SA are the only ones to really dominate WI in WI since 2002.

The WI tearing into the English batting here. They have a decent side, the WI, and under Holder have actually regained stability in test cricket.

Ohh the english crowd have made this match a jewel to see !! The atmosphere there is very thrilling and nice, and the carribean music....The windies are ripping apart the English batting !

69-8 ? Meh. Big deal ! Curran is still out there.

-Indian fan.

Man, this is great to see from the Windies! Some fight and determination from them.

But it's fair to say England will reach 200 now that Curran's out there. You can never be sure of wiping out the tail quickly when he's out there doing damage.

Or............maybe not

The WI have to somehow get this target to 400. With the like of Curran, Rashid and Foakes in the XI, I don`t feel any total is safe. Im really hyped up for this series. Its such a joy watching WI fast bowlers get wickets.

Oh you would have loved the 80’s then

Not fair, totally not fair. Why in the world did Curran not score a fifty here

I envy WI. They seem to be having no problem mopping up this tail.

 

[francobaldo1]

they are using a great ball with nice swing and movement. Was fantastic to watch fast bowlers.

Based on one innings ?

Based on one innings ?

I wouldn't be surprised if they can replicate that again.

Prepare to be surprised then!
