[First Test] England v West Indies - Southampton

[scotch]

Windies players on half pay, left their own country in the middle of a pandemic, been confined to a hotel for two weeks and get they seem so much more switched on and focused than our lot.
Massively impressed with them so far

Gerrin Bess. Need a couple of quick ones here, unsettle them.

 

[Ghfd]

Good lad Dom. Now let’s have a quick couple more

 

[SAFC11]

Stokes bowling plenty of freebies

 

[HarrogateMackem]

Brooks is impressing so far.

 

[BIG BAZ]

Took his time to review that
Gerrin

Ooof

 

[Jack Torrance]

Bit unlucky there the batsman

 

[The Rat]

what we reckon is an acceptable lead for England still to be in this, less than a 100?

Brooks is impressing so far.

easy on the eye.

Interesting that Stokes bowls himself more than Root has bowled him

injury better? Or does Root not rate him?

 

[SAFC11]

Brathwaite was unfortunate, be out on review with two umpire calls

 

[HarrogateMackem]

Umpires have had a nightmare so far these few days. Obviously not deliberate (you hope) but the Windies will be fuming.

More a consistency thing, Stokes is useful in short bursts but pretty ordinary in an extended spell.

Also not a very good test captain on evidence so far.

 

[Ghfd]

Not seen any of the play today but are the umpires still getting decisions wrong after review?

 

[TopCat]

Bit of movement there. Hopefully this is the session.....

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Struggling here
Great review

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

Think we need to keep them to a lead of 50 or less. Not much confidence in our batting (shocking i know). Hopefully can skittle a few more here, build momentum.
