West Indies Test Series


Is LBW given on first point of contact?

Tbh I thought the first contact might have been sliding and think umpires call is fair

But the ball then goes and hits the back pad right in front.
First point only. Must have been just shy of being half hitting
 
Sadly the West Indies are just a very poor side couple of decent young bowlers but must be one of the worst batting line ups fielded by a side in recent years.

Ultimately the whole summer tells you little 6 tests against 2 of the poorest sides.

Atherton did a great piece at Trent Bridge about away sides since 2001 and their poor away records with only the Aussies winning more than losing away.

Test comes for the emerging bowlers bowling away with Kookaburra and it being soft and not swinging after 15 or 20 overs.

Have to hope the full battery of pace bowlers are fit when we are down under in 18 months.
 
Fastest 50 in balls faced by an England player.

I must admit I was expecting big things from Sharmar Joseph but he didn't do anything of note in the series. Hopefully for WIs he's not a one hit wonder.
