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

Bethell is a handy sixth bowler, but wouldn't want him/Jacks splitting four too often. Curran, Dawson, Rashid, Archer, Mahmood seems would be an ideal 7-11.

 

[Hungry Llama]

Windies thrashed us in the caribbean and now we've done the same to them in england, but cp to the top teams our bowling is still
a bit lightweight. 75 off the last 4 overs tad embarrassing even with short boundaries.

So glad Banton has put a stop to Livingstone stealing a living.

LL or Jacks at seven is a much of a muchness tbh. I'd rather take LL's bowling and think both of them are going to be streaky and usually will only come in very late in the mix. LL has usually blown his chances, particularly in tourneys.

He's a much better player than he's shown.

Just has muscles for brains. If he stopped trying to hit everything for six he'd be an important player in the England side.

Had his chance though, Jacks showed him right up in the 2nd ODI.

Thanos out
Hetmyer back in again

 

[chris.hinton]

Look at this start and weep everyone (Who's not english) the new world order is here and we are taking the cricket world by storm

Fast starts, brutal finishes and no mercy

 

[chris.hinton]

Duckett is 45 off 17....and looks at complete ease

He knows he's getting a big 100

 

[chris.hinton]

50 off 20 balls for Duckett....And there is still some things to work on

 

[Silver Silva]

This is really impressive from England , this is not a bad attack that WI has put out , they have just been overwhelmed by the ferocity of the approach from England ..

 

[wpdavid]

Boo.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Hetmyer drops Smith. Good going guys

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Okay, he takes it now

 

[Ali TT]

Charles not even trying for the catch and then Rutherford pulling a muscle walking to pick up the ball Charles left off the ground is a pretty embarrassing 3 seconds for Windies cricket.

 

[Ali TT]

Feel slightly cheated that I tuned in after ten overs and *only* saw England score 113 runs off the last ten.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Charles already wasting balls

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Another ugly innings

 

[kevinw]

I'm liking Wood in this side. We need a good left armer who can move it back into the right hander like Willey or Topley. He's not even the worst number eleven and is nowhere near the test team.

 

[Beamer]

Another ugly innings

Surely he has to go now?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Surely he has to go now?

Not in the near future. That’s Sammy’s right hand man.
