Later in the week.... Just another money-spinner for the ECB is it?! Can't see the point of playing a very weak WIndies side in two T20's in late September. Can't imagine England will be full-strength either. Add to the fact it will be f***ing freezing :-o.

Might aswell play in December :lol:. Which, out of interest - reckon that could ever happen?! Winter cricket, outdoors?! To be fair we do get quite a few dry days in mid-winter, even if it is below freezing :lol:. Maybe I just miss county cricket a bit too much already, that and the fact I've had a few cans.
 

Pointless games really, but the England squad has a very next generation look about it so it should be interesting. Bet it's bloody cold in the crowd like :lol:
 
I think the ECB had to play this match, something to do with Sky paying for the TV rights to the Stanford farce or something like that

Think thats about right mate. We made a committment with the WIndies board when we played the Stanford games to play them in 2 T20's over here at some point and I think it was forgotten in the midst of all the Stamford fraud allegations, but we still owe them the games and I guess this is the ECB's way of getting them out of the way as quickly and painlessly as possible.
 
Don't think we've got that many 20/20 matches before the next world cup so it's useful to look at some of the potential players.
 
Got the makings of a very good team to retain our title IMO, better still we seem to have an abundance of players ready to step in for injuries etc.

Great fielding once again.
