England tour of the West Indies 2019 (3 Tests, 5 ODIs and 3 T20s)

Wrong thread.

 

[Wedge McManus]

Wrong thread.

Yep just saw that. Posted in the right one just then

 

[The Speaker]

Lmao at NZ playing India. Looks like it's about 35 degrees out there. The kiwis are bowling first lol. You can literally see their pale bowlers just melting right now and India are laughing their ass off. This has to be their best away season against top grade opponents?? Given that they played much much better than their SA and ENG results suggested?

and even though it was the wrong thread, you still spoke much too soon

 

[Park cricketer]

Windies win the toss and elect to bowl on what looks a fairly green wicket with moisture underneath the surface. Root has had a great run of luck with tosses but he's now experiencing the other end of the luck now.

Are those grey hairs on Joe's beard btw? Always imagined Root as someone who never gets old.

Denly's a very lucky man. Also Burns' technique can **** off, looks like a goose.

How the umpire gave that not out confuses me

[Alfonz]

That was one of the plumbest LBW's I can remember, yet he remains at the crease. What a joke.

 

[Park cricketer]

Yeah that was terrible umpiring.

Denly's family might not mind though. Getting a duck on debut might not have been the best start to his test career after making debut at 32 years.

 

[scottywiper]

DRS working a treat. That was plumb.

 

[weetert]

Oh no if he were Aussie we'd be fuming

 

[Park cricketer]

Denly batted like someone who has been playing t20 leagues all over the world in recent times

 

[scottywiper]

He shoulda walked... Better look than hia eventual dismissal.

 

[Park cricketer]

Would love to see an opening spell by Shannon Gabriel and Oshane Thomas.

 

[JRyan23]

I reckon he should’ve caught that Roston Chase

I don't think Denly would even get a game for Australia at the moment, shows how big the holes are in England's top order right now.

 

[Park cricketer]

Gaffaney making a lot of gaffes today.

 

[Zevon]

Bairstow goes straight after lunch. Just imagine where England would be if it weren't for his 50. The scorecard looks bad enough as it is.

 

[Park cricketer]

Australia need to relentlessly target the pads of Bairstow and Root in the Ashes. Both are vulnerable to the incoming delivery and have been getting out to that delivery quite frequently for the past year or so.

I love Shannon "the wrecking ball" Gabriel so much. At a time when a lot of his compatriots are ditching their national team for t20 franchise leagues, this guy just runs in and keeps pounding in again and again in test cricket and looks like he genuinely cares about the maroon cap.

Actually a lot of players in this Windies team look dedicated to test cricket. Gabriel, Holder obviously, Hope is a very dedicated player, Kraigg Braithwaite and the dashing young batsman Hetmyer too. This team can develop into a very good team with some experience.

 

[Moonwatcher]

So Ali doesn't just make runs against Australia.

 

[PhatBoy]

So Ali doesn't just make runs against Australia.

He doesn’t make runs against Australia at all seemingly. He has had a habit of playing these counter attacking innings throughout his career though when you least expect them to get his side out of bother from time to time

Post of the year.
For a long time Gabriel was the whipping boy of just about every West Indian fan page on the internet as he lumbered around with his average hovering in the low 40s, getting picked purely because he was quick and there were a lack of alternatives. The hashtag ‘morepace’ used to get thrown around a lot in mockery of him.

Here is a guy dedicated to his craft enough to actually develop it and learn it on the run, mostly (until the last 18 months as Holder has started to improve) with only Roach to help, and who is one of not many bowlers that fits the ‘bowls his last over as quickly as his first’ tagline. There is no bullshit, no carry on, very very occasionally a small word when he beats a batsman.
He’s everything I want this side to turn into. Oh, and he’s f***ing fast and mean.

 

[footyfan1978]

Poms losing again. Love mornings like this.

 

[PhatBoy]

Another good day for the lads. Get to stumps here boys and we can be very bloody satisfied

 

[PhatBoy]

Can't see any other result than an England victory in the test series.

Would expect them to win the ODI series too, the form they have been in.

T20 could go either way.

Still a lot of cricket to be played mate but have you thought about reassessing this prediction?
