Second Test - England v West Indies (Old Trafford)

[Silly Point]

Radar gone again

Been off and doesn't look right mind

 

[KGC83]

Pleased Sibley is cementing his place in the side. He’s exactly what they needed after the failed experiment with Roy.

 

[dixonsafc]

100 partnership and 50 for Stokes.

Keep this going and start taking the game away from them tomorrow.

That was just stupidity wasn’t it

 

[KGC83]

That was just stupidity wasn’t it

Without a doubt. Probably shot his confidence to pieces as well.

 

[The Rat]

Really enjoyed watching this

Saw at tea ward n Athers saying it was turgid stuff

Maybe I’m old school

Without a doubt. Probably shot his confidence to pieces as well.

Yeah

Not sure he would have made it but at 6 he could have been quality

We will never know

David Warner has an awful record in England, it just doesn’t work here, the ball does too much

It was never going to work him opening with the Aussie new ball attack seaming and swinging it all over.

Shame cos like you say he might of made it batting lower down but doubt we will find out now.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Ball is still swinging, these 2 have batted well

 

[BIG BAZ]

Lucky there

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Ooof lucky but it did look high

 

[Snappy]

Bail sniffer

This is how to bat during a test match. Probably why Athers never won a test against the Windies iirc

Shame about Roy, but we had plenty of mid order batsmen and were desperate for openers. He could still come back and try lower down the order, he is only 29.

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Reverse swing alert

 

[zebediah]

The ball is hooping all over, I cannot see our bowlers having anything but a field day when the Windies bat.

 

[dixonsafc]

Cracking knock from Sibley + Stokes. Not easy, something in it for the bowlers all day.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Really good day that

 

[HeroHurley]

A good hard days test cricket. Cracking knock by Sibley. Hopefully he gets his eye back in tomorrow and goes big again.

Well he definitely play in the Barbados Test where Stewart made a ton in each innings

 

[Concordsafc]

Happy with that day me Sibley great opening to last and also was a good old fashioned test opening today for me, lots of swing and I feel we have the better bowlers for these conditions, build on this score for tomorrow

Thought the Windies bowled to Negative today and didn't attack the stumps enough. Well done Sibley didn't take the bait and stuck at it.
