England tour of West Indies 2021/22

What's up with the West Indies skipper today? He looked like a cheaper version of Pujara until today and suddenly he became a Sehwag/Warner -esque overnight?

John Campbell scored more than our top 3.

The outfield looks pretty quick. Anything that goes through a gap is going for four.

I really hope that whomever succeeds Andrew Strauss as the new Ashley Giles bites the bullet and ends Root's captaincy.

Also, anyone else feel like it might be Peter Moores?

3rd time lucky?

Buttler would've caught that

Tell that to Jimmy

Buttler would've caught that

He might not have caught it but he definitely wouldn't have dropped it

Also the replay they showed of Crawley getting himself out to Jayden Seales was traumatic. It looked like me batting the technique was so loose

Let's face it, after the upcoming Summer of Jonny and 0-6 defeat by overseas teams, YJB will be captain.

Woakes at 5.5 an over

YJB will be captain.

I could honestly see that

He's certainly made himself an automatic selection with his performances this winter, and that seems to be what people have been saying England don't have enough of to try binning off Captain Rooty

It’s disappointing to see the stadium half empty, Are there Covid restrictions on the crowd size?

I heard that the majority of the crowd are English. Have West Indians lost all interest in Test Match cricket?

I wouldn't be surprised if they have, given they haven't had a decent side for 20 years but I wouldn't be surprised if, potentially, locals have been priced out of it.

Stadium is miles outside town, and prices gets ramped up when England are in town. They can make more money at 40% capacity of English prices than capacity at usual prices.

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.
