*Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

[SillyCowCorner1]

Campbell has a bit of Evin Lewis in him...the flair.

 

[TT Boy]

Mentioned during the test series that I was surprised Campbell hasn't played more domestic 20/20s, given how six happy he is. Can really hit a ball.

 

[trundler]

Campbell looking fluent. Gayle must up it tempo soon. Wood has looked good but Woakes is mediocre as always.

That six was one classy shot.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nothing's changed for Campbell. It's like he's batting with Kraigg

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Also, love the Bumble-Dujon pairing in the commentary box.

 

[trundler]

Gah. Frustrating end.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Well, another good start from Campbell that doesn't go all the way.

Um no. He's been pretty good for a while. Just barely back to full fitness.

 

[BSM]

Pitch seems incredibly placid so far, so 38-1 after nearly nine overs isn't a bad start for England. I think Windies have the players to accelerate though. Good test for our bowlers

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I'm a bit worried about Hope's form. He's been quiet in the test series.

 

[weldone]

Windies short on bowling in this match I think...

Yeah, he can twirl it a bit. But if we ought to win this match, we will have too win it with our bat

Yes 310 is bare minimum I think

Was the same in Bangladesh. Did nothing in the tests, and hasn’t done for some time, but really turned up in the ODIs.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Yes 310 is bare minimum I think

We do have the batting power to take us to that score. This pitch is very sluggish though.

I think a realistic score here is ~285

Yes, even before in the Indian series he was a no-show in the red ball format

 

[trundler]

England will be brutal on this wicket. Roady Mcpancake

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

. Roady Mcpancake

Irish?

 

[weldone]

Shouldn't Bravo have come at no. 3 especially if it's Hope who's keeping (not Pooran)?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Moooooen

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Shouldn't Bravo have come at no. 3 especially if it's Hope who's keeping (not Pooran)?

Umm no. Hope has been our opener in the latest series. He's ok with that. Now that Gayle has come back, and Campbell in the team, we have two genuine openers. It's logical for Hope to drop one down with the form in this format.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Now Gayle gets a life. I'm sure on any other day Roy would have taken that.
