[First Test] England v West Indies - Southampton

[Jack Torrance]

Game on?

 

[TopCat]

Ah well, at least he didn't make us pay for the no ball

 

[scotch]

Just like Sibley, must get in the batsmen head.

 

[SAFC11]

Will Campbell bat again do you think?

 

[zebediah]

Stokes v holder. Love it

 

[TopCat]

Game on?

You'd think they have too many now.... decent lower order now.

Again, if they were chasing 250-300 it'd be different

Tell you what, there's been a lot to complain about in Englands performance but test match cricket is the best sport by a country mile.

 

[HarrogateMackem]

I'd say its 50:50 now. Windies lose one more wicket and it's advantage to England. Blackwood hasn't been looking the most assured and Holder will have to get in, when many haven't.

Shirley Knott?

but then again

 

[scotch]

Got to keep archer on i feel

Yeah agree, said at the time thought we were at least 30 too short. But we've missed some opportunities

He'll be knackered now though.

 

[scotch]

England have been unlucky with the weather, the batting conditions, the umpire decisions today....Windies do deserve the win but England have fought and played well in patches, only need a little improvement to turn this series around imo

 

[Concordsafc]

Will Campbell bat again do you think?

Yes if needed

 

[Ghfd]

Has the slow Yorker disappeared from the game?

 

[scotch]

Think we were 50 short in each innings given the conditions in the 1st and the position 249-3 in the 2nd

 

[zebediah]

Yes if needed

Yorker straight at his toe if he does come back in

 

[scotch]

Wood, Anderson or bess to replace Archer? Think I'd get men round the bat and bring bess on

Bess looked the most threatening of the 3 so Bess for me.
