First test gets underway tonight
I don’t like West Indies’ Don’t Have Shannon Gabriel Available bowling policy but I do like their Dont Have Shannon Gabriel batting policy after his last test innings against them.
been very evenly matched these two sides in their recent test encounters
Plenty of rain and a spinning pitch predicted - God himself couldn’t answer the question as to why the West Indies would favour a spinning surface but given their most recent success was in Bangladesh and the likes of Mayers, Bonner and Brathwaite actually made runs there maybe it will help.
hopefully they go something like Brathwaite, Powell, Bonner, Brooks/Hope, Chase, Holder, De Silva Cornwall, Joseph, Roach, Seales - gives a good overall attack and a bit of all round depth
