Test England vs West Indies - 3 tests

[Jimthegreat]

Fair to say Woakes goes well at Lords.

 

[katana]

haha jesus what a ball. who is this guy?

 

[Plugger35]

A first ball duck for Atkinson, that will bring him back down to earth after taking 7 wickets.

Meanwhile Smith has made a fifty on his test debut.

 

[Plugger35]

England all out for 371, a lead of 250.

Hopefully the Windies can put up a better fight with the bat in their 2nd innings.

Answer; no.

What a meek turnout from them.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

The only positive from this test is that Anderson won't get 708 wickets

 

[Plugger35]

Answer; no.

What a meek turnout from them.

Yeah it was another feeble batting performance in their 2nd innings, this match will probably be over before lunch on Day 3 now.

Woakes goes good in England.

 

[Jatz]

The only positive from this test is that Anderson won't get 708 wickets

I am staggered they aren't going to allow him to play this summer to one up us in that department.

Maybe I'm just that petty haha.

lol McCullum saying New Zealand may not make the cut if Test Cricket was cut down to 6 teams, ouch

 

[Plugger35]

Another great ball from Anderson and another wicket, don't know why he is retiring after this test match.

He is still bowling as well as he ever has.

Bloody traitor, he is dead to me.

 

[Cleavy]

Bashir total passenger this game

 

[Plugger35]

Atkinson with the third best test match figures on test debut, it could be the second best figures if he gets the last wicket.

It should have an asterisk next to it though bowling against this Windies batting line up which is like shooting fish in a barrel.

 

[Santana]

Bashir total passenger this game

Forgot he was playing

Speaking of passengers Shamar didn't have the best follow up from his first series this game. Wonder how he'll go for the rest of the series

 

[Plugger35]

Jimmy with a dropped caught and bowled, that would have been the perfect finish for him.

 

[Plugger35]

Motie is one Windies player that can hold his head high, he has been one of their best bowlers and one of their best batsmen.

He has at least got them ahead of their first innings total along with some help from Seales.

 

[Santana]

Great career Anderson, well done

 

[Plugger35]

Atkinson gets the last wicket to finish with 12 wickets for the match, great figures on his test debut.

Anderson still getting the big send off walking off before the rest of the England team as he should do.

He has earnt a warm pint of awful English lager, a great career, he will go down as one of the all time great test bowlers.

 

[royboy2]

 

[Plugger35]

Jimmy has gone out still playing well at the top of his game.

Better to go out with people asking why did he retire? Rather than people asking why didn't he retire earlier like Warner.

 

[Plugger35]

As for the Windies, hopefully they can provide a better contest in the next two tests than they have in this test.

Their bowling was test match standard but their bowling was well below test match standard, their batsmen need to hit the nets.
