*Official* West Indies Tour of England 2020

[Burgey]

Terrific shot

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Just 46 away.

Sir Curtly once rattled out England for 46

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

More runs

West Indies cruising home

Blackwood has counterattacked superbly. Would deserve a hundred here if he gets one.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This innings is shades of Blackwood 248 just a few months ago.

 

[trundler]

Did very well to dig that out

 

[vcs]

So good

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Easy deh Jermaine

 

[Burgey]

Wood is the only Pom this dig to get any reverse. I know Archer has mostly banged it in but hasn’t got any when he’s pitched up. Clouderson has given nothing either.

**** that’s smoked

 

[trundler]

Damn that's an assault worthy of Blackwood's great calypso predecessors.

 

[GotSpin]

How good!

 

[GotSpin]

Blackwood is going to finish this himself isn't he

 

[trundler]

Dowrich should do his best to let Blackwood get to 3 figures

 

[Groundking]

Blackwood has made this a cruise for the windies

 

[Spark]

Shout out to Dowrich. Faced only 29 balls in this 15-over partnership which is just great game awareness/strike rotation.

I think that covers most of our options, given that WI will only need another 15 overs. I'd start with Bess and Archer, but it's looking irrelevant now.

You're probably right, but maybe first up after tea before they've settled. It's probably academic anyway. And you're right about him being under-bowled too. Those two umpires calls for LBW are as close as we've looked most of the time.

Well, I meant Wood should not be bowling. Obviously Stokes does not agree. And I would have surely tried Bess even if they had only 30 odd to get which is what it is now. I said on CW comms that Blackwood seems like a guy who might get nervous if the win is nearby, so the worst thing England can do here is to think the game is done. They will surely get another crack but if they are not up for it, that will be the game. At least that is how I think it will go.

 

[trundler]

Egg on our faces. He's controlled that uppercut superbly

 

[Spark]

I think the decision to bowl Wood does make some sense. Reverse swing is unquestionably their best shot and they clearly feel Wood is their best proponent of it.

 

[trundler]

I think there was a noise
