Nice slow start today I hope score the runs but take a while limit the time so they have to go for the bigger shots and get wood and archer bouncing and jimmy swinging and we have a slight hope
West Indies has to be worth a punt at over evens, they are definitely the favourite in my eyes.

The pitch doesn't seem to have deteriorated enough and think we are currently 70-80 runs short of a defendable total.

All we can really do is try bat long but they will be going for it to wipe us out quick.

I can't see Archer and Wood batting long, i think with those 2 at the crease we are better off seeing if they can put as many on as quickly as possible before they catch one with their name on it.
 
The lack of ability to score big is really frustrating to watch. So many batsmen getting 30s and out. That’s what has cost us so many times over the years - everyone gets low scores but when you get in you need to score not just 100s but big 100s.
 
Can’t wait for this. Fully expect cricket to do its thing and keep us gripped all day. It certainly did on this Sunday last year. Just a shame Sky can’t make it free for the nation to watch just for today.
