old man Woakes is the spearhead after Anderson retires?! yikes!

 

[Jatz]

I genuinely can’t believe they’ve essentially forced his retirement. He’s still good enough. Let the man bowl ffs.

WI playing Bazball as a tribute to Jimmy.

How does Adam Gilchrist not come to mind immediately as a tall wicket keeper? He always looked like a giant behind the stumps compared to other gloveman

Hope Johnny B keeps it behind the crease.

He’s dropped lol

He’s dropped lol

That's what happens when you don't keep it behind the crease.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Handy start Atkinson.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Serves Braithwaite right for boring us

he's averaged over 35 since 2023. he's 42.

 

[katana]

woeful start to this test. pitch looks slow, bounce is low, ball not moving, crowd is sedate.

 

[Jatz]

he's averaged over 35 since 2023. he's 42.

Who’s banging the door down?

Still take him over Woakes and Stokes bowling on day 1.

Cant even start a series thread without having digs .
Pretty much sums up this forum. No serious debate.

well based on today you'd be wrong.

I tried BBC 5 Live Extra which has TMS with a VPN but no dice. Yet with same VPN I can watch BBC One.

Looks like Stokes has had a hair transplant

England's test side has annoyed me over the last 12 months hence the digs. In fact, it's the first time in my 20+ years following cricket, I've been annoyed or really disliked England's test side. I have no issues with their white ball sides.

West Indies have lost 4-0, from 3-88 to 7-88.

 

[royboy2]

That was some catch by Pope

 

[icyflakes]

I wasn't expecting much from the Windies but I'm still sad

Windies getting munted in both the England test and the old man t20 at the same time

 

[royboy2]

121 All out

Gus Atkinson 7/45 on debut
