Looks like Durham are about to scrape into the T20 quarter finals. Bit of extra money at least.

Trego out fo zero :'(
Abell looked really steady, not much oomph about him but has time at the crease.
Archer deserved his figures, managed to get bounce out of the Taunton pitch isn't easy, and he was much nor lively than CJ or Shahzad.
40 runs short I reckon, need wickets.

I can only say if they couldn't realise the basis of a hell-of-a-cricketer then it makes you understand the state of west indies test cricket.

One is an opening batsman (20), one all rounder (18) and one a bowler (21) - a really talented family. He is at Notts though, like another wonderful player Tom Moores. Wish Lancs would sign him up.

The Sussex cash might have been more reliable and with fewer strings attached than the Barbados cash.

Well he was never actually selected for Barbados while he was there. but tbf he was 19, and the Barbados pace attack was particularly stacked in the context of West Indian cricket at the time. He also had to contend with the fact that the pitches in West Indian domestic cricket usually turn square so only two quicks were actually being selected a lot of the time. Miguel Cummins was missing out sometimes back when Archer was there, and Cummins is in the Test side now.

Yeah I suppose the whole structure is just built on mud.
Liam Dawson has really gone from strength to strength since being picked for England. His batting really good this year.
I know what you're saying PEWS and you're right there are justifiable reasons for not picking him but just watching him looks so ****ing smooth and good.
Hard to square.

It's actually even more justifiable than I first imagined. Looking back at the Barbados squad of 2013/14, they had a seamer who was in the Test team at the time and therefore undroppable (Best), a seamer who was in the Test team before his injury and just working his way back from that injury, and therefore similarly undroppable (Edwards), a seamer in the ODI team and pushing for a Test place who would go on to be Test captain soon (Holder), and two other seamers who are in the Test team as we speak and obviously would've been highly rated back then too (C Brathwaite and Cummins). On top of all that they had to get two spinners in because most of the pitches they played on absolutely ragged.
I think in that situation the last thing on your mind would be finding a spot for a 19 year old seamer, no matter how good he looked. They already had massive selection problems as it was. Unfortunately the West Indies system is too sectarian for him to have just found another WI domestic team to play for any more easily than he found a county team to go to, and realistically that's the issue the West Indies need to look out more than Barbados not picking him. I don't think it was a case at all of them not rating him. He might even be enticed back home yet.

Wood giving Willey a real working over. Bowling short with a short leg in. Just whacked him on the helmet. Good stuff
