Second Test - England v West Indies

[scotch]

i'd chuck Hameed back in at 3 or 5 next test and give serious thought to bringing Robson back. Hales making a good case for batting 5

hameed has about 1 fifty all season

No way in hell should we send Hameed out to Aus.
Talented boy, but sending a lad with his kinda form this year out to face Australia down under at his age could absolutely shatter him and his future.
His time will come, but lets not ruin him before that happens.

I think he's hit that

true but it was last week

good job windies cant catch

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

That's so poor

 

[scotch]

roach has bowled some fantastic balls today
3rd slip had just come out

he is quality shame he cant bowl at the same pace anymore

 

[TheRey]

It's definitely heartening seeing the Windies actually bowl well and compete, mind.

 

[scotch]

root out after passing 50 again

 

[TopCat]

Urgh. Bit of a shit day this so far - all of the "new" kids failing again

 

[WCC]

Wish they would sack off Swann on TMS like woeful.

 

[BIG BAZ]

looks out from the 2nd angle that

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Out for me

 

[Bri]

He does. But averages are still hugely important and indicative of class

Absolutely ..... but like all stats they need to be interpreted. We know Stoneman's 1st class career average but if you look at his average over the last 4 years does it tell a different picture?

Out for me

Me too.

Oh absolutely. I do get that

How come teams can be amazing one game then crap the next, against the same opposition? Did the same against South Africa.

I think ot's much more about the Windies finally getting their shit together.

 

[smoker]

Our shit upper order batting has been well and truly exposed today.

We are frustratingly inconsistent. Dobell et al point the finger at Bayliss's hands off coaching.

Groundhog day.

2, 3 and 5 no runs. Root and Stokes 50's. The selectors should hang their heads in shame.
