England tour of West Indies 2021/22

[wasteyouryouth]

It is sad watching the West Indians these days. I grew up watching the great West Indian team of the 60's: Sobers, Lloyd, Kanhai, Nurse, Hunte and Butcher, and then just getter better in the 70's and 80's. There's none of today's players, with the possible exception of Holder, that I'd pay to see.

They have a very good bowling attack, Seales looks really good for a 20 year old. If they could find two consistent batsman they'd be as good as England.

That's not exactly a high bar to reach.

I decided to sleep in this morning, instead of getting up at 6 am for the start of play. I see I didn't miss much.

I was having PC problems and wondering if you were up to pester you for some assistance.

Sure. Let's do it on Conversations, so we don't bore these fine people.

Nkrumah Bonner is a 33-year-old batter with 3,407 non-Test first-class runs at 27.5 apiece. Four hundreds, one of which came in Tests. And yet, in ten Test matches he's currently sitting on an average of over 45.

This is a kind of player that England are resoundingly incapable of finding

Yes, the England management dream of finding a batsman with an average of 45..... or 44, or 43, or 42, or 41, or........

Fixed that for you

Also seems like they may have broken Woody - off with an elbow injury

It's a good job Parkinson is out there to bring Leachy drinks, otherwise who knows what might have happened to his 43 overs
