England vs West Indies Test Series

[Philly1971]

I know Baz-ball brings many benefits, but players still need to play proper test cricket. The way both Crawley and Duckett got out yesterday, playing uppish drives away from the body, at the start of their innings, is very poor cricket, and even worse decision making. It’s a 5 day game, so why throw your wicket away in the first few overs?

Ok this is a Test Match.
How the heck are Eng 47-0 off 4 overs!!!

Now Stokes beats Ian Botham's record, fastest 50 off 24 balls...unplayable.

Eng win by 10 wickets.
Hotel owners in Birmingham open their phones as people cancel tonight and tomorrows bookings as there's no cricket left to watch.

[Gary]

England win by 10 wickets.

Stokes get the fastest 50 for a English batsman. From 24 balls

Easy win for England in the end

WI can use this series as a warm up for their home series against SA in the next couple of weeks

Why did Stokes open in the second innings - doesn't send the right message to Crawley et al ?

[plmc135]

Crawley at hospital having x-ray on damaged finger.

[slogen51]

Ah!

That was a good pick then

Sri Lanka up next for us. Gives Root a good chance of getting closer to Chefs leading runs scorer total.
