**Official** England in the West Indies 2013-14

I guess this is the time Windies would really like Gayle or Samuels in for their bowling, after Miller and Narine bowl out not much spin left is there?

I reckon, since Stokes was never given out, he should come out at the next wicket and pretend he was retired hurt.

That's true but apparently Bravo was too much for us.

This is a **** batting lineup, it really is. A bunch of allrounders and T20 specialists who average 30 does not a top seven make.

What is this "use the ODIs to prepare for the T20 World cup" strategy all about? Really? T20 is T20. ODIs are ODIs. Two completely different games.

LOL.

 

[grecian]

Choking ****s.

Come on then Ravi.

Bresnan flashing his bat about wildly like a schoolboy trying to kill a fly with side of ham.

Philistines. That is an internationally recognised school of batting.

I don't get why these were scheduled really. The World T20 starts in two weeks, they were never going to use it as anything other than a warm up for it.

Stops an overly long tour in between the World Cup and the 2015 home summer.

It really was schoolboy stuff. 'I hit it so there must be a run there'. Such a thick ****.

 

[YorksLanka]

just missing a jumping broad's head?that must be about eight feet up! great effort..

This is pretty funny it has to be said.

Well quite. Why not just play 5 T20s?

 

[grecian]

Probably should have been a wide the way they're judging it now.

I actually think I'd have sent in Tredders before Broad a steadier batsman, and Stuey is such a lousy starter.

I think I heard or read somewhere that England wanted it to be all T20 but that West Indies wanted ODIs as well. I may be lying about this though.

It's hard to believe that once upon a time Broad was seen as a decent bet with the bat in these games. Was it against India many years ago that he saw us home in a tense chase? Possibly with Bopara at the other end?

This is fun. We are really setting ourselves up well for the T20 bash.
