He's already called for the selectors to stand down, and instructed Cook and Moores to actually pick a team rather than photocopy the last test's sheet.

This.

That said, wish I'd had a chance to see more of the match today, sounds like it was entertaining viewing at the very least.

Seems like Sam Robson is back to making runs, just in time to take Trotts place.

England will win an away Test series 2-0 and England fans in this thread will still complain. That's my prediction.

It's not who won it's how really. If this were Mayweather v Pacquiao okay but it's more like watching two drunk hobos go at it until one passes out.

No Obvious Flaws



Will the West Indies manage to score more runs in the second innings than they did in their first?

As Jimmy took wickets in the first innings, I predict he does gently caress all in the second.

As Richie might say, Anderson is bowled just 100 runs short of his century.

Shame he's a mediocre bowler mind you. They could get rid of all of the bowlers, apart from Anderson I suppose, he's sometimes useful, and not be any worse. Broad is done, Stokes and Jordan aren't good enough.

Amid all the wanking themselves silly about James Anderson they've overlooked that in 2 out of 3 tests the bowlers have completely and utterly failed

We've gone from having no batting but good bowling,now its the other way around.

I like Ali but I'm worried about having a spinning all rounder, if he has a bad day with the ball you're more than usually hosed.

I think if you take 4 bowlers that do exactly the same thing and hope that 2 part time spinners will bail them out you're gonna have a real bad time.
