*Official* West Indies Tour of Ireland and England- May/June 2025

[chris.hinton]

Dawson is underrated and should be in the England 50/20 over stuff all the time.

Problem with two pacers is if one gets smacked, you have to bowl a lot of spin.

And that guy is Matty Potts tonight. 10 overs of spin on the bounce incoming.

69-2 @Molehill

Bethball with the big wicket but he's conceded 24 off his first

 

[kevinw]

England are a bowler light but Dawson's threatening to win this.

 

[trundler]

So uh Dawson was good all along

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

So uh Dawson was good all along

Yeah.

(Well, not all along. But for several years now, yes.)

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The only plus for us in this game is that our very own, Bajan Bethell, is doing well

 

[chris.hinton]

No worries we win again

Spin works the oracle in Durham of all places.

 

[Beamer]

Good Lord this tour has been awful. The bowling has been all over the place.

That was a really tricky pitch once you bowl back of a length or spin. So of course we bowled 6 overs full of a length before we worked it out.

Also that Chase innings was awful. Sucked the life put of the innings at a time it wasn't going too badly.

Interesting bowling attack for durham/CLS, but thanks to Daws and Rashid fine win. As Jacks and Beth seem to play almost nothing but white ball cricket, dunno why their bowling is so all over the place. Clearly they want Smith to be Buttlers successor since theyv relegated him to no3, but Josh a better bet ATM for the powerplay.

 

[kevinw]

Jacks and Bethell are 6/7th choice bowlers. I wouldn't want to be getting four overs from them per game. Reckon you could play Dawson at seven and have a seamer who can bat at eight, who is more solid than Carse. Probably ends up being SCurran.

How does Rashid feel only getting 1 wicket to Dawson's 4?

For the life of me, I don't understand the advancement of Chase into all our teams. He should have been given the boot after the WC of 21...but Sammy isn't gonna let that happen.

He will tell himself he is England's best ever short form bowler.

He's still fond of going for 0's and anything outside off stump.

No idea what the thinking is appointing him as test captain.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

What a diabolical review lol

 

[trundler]

Where's Pooran and how's Chase batting 4?
