*Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

Do you think it’s a case of hedging their bets as they’re not sure how much it’s going to turn? If it doesn’t turn a great deal then maybe they don’t fancy two finger spinners and Rashid does turn it more than either of them.

Yet Leach has the best control out of the 3 of them which makes him useful if it doesn't turn.

Hetmyer is going to spank Rashid. Here’s hoping.

Bowling light is an understatement.

Managed to pick a team that has 5 bowlers but is both a seamer and a spinner light.

I’m not Rashid’s biggest fan, I don’t think someone not playing first-class cricket should’ve been brought back into Test cricket anyway, but that’s gone now. I can understand his selection, it may look harsh on Leach, but I’d still want my biggest turner of the ball playing on a wicket that nobody seems sure what it’s going to do.

There are reservations over three quicks for us, but I’m sure we can get more out of Stokes. Curran is the worry for me, and I personally would have favoured Broad over him but maybe the Dukes ball swung it Curran’s way (no pun intended).

By far the best economy rate in Sri Lanka, as well as just simply being the best of the 3 full stop.

Campbell seems quite 6 happy in FC cricket and has a S/R over 60. Surprised he has played only the 5 20/20 games.

Jimmy making the ball talk.

 

[TT Boy]

I know he swings the ball out of the hand and isn’t the quickest but I like watching Sam Curran bowl. Always nice watching a left armer swing it.

God help the Windies if it is a square turner. Brathwaite and Chase to open the bowling.

Unlikely; you'd think that they have more of an idea than us how their own pitches will play.

WI incorporating Jaguars' blueprint.

Tage grinds em, while the other opener flays them.

Esaun Crandon at work.

Whenever I watch a Test match in WI, I miss Lara.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Through the first hour without losing a wicket.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

50 runs opening partnership for the WI.

A rare thing these days.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

And just like clockwork, the first one goes.

Campbell played well

I saw this and then the Cricinfo headline "Brathwaite raises tempo after Campbell cameo ends"

Then I saw he's on 27 from 75 and now I'm confused
