[Cricket] England v West Indies

[Is it PotG?]

Pity about the weather, might struggle a bit to get going today in Southampton.

 

[jakarta]

Perhaps [MENTION=25]Gwylan[/MENTION] can run the 5th Fantasy Test instead, or are Bradman and Trumper already back on a Steamer to Oz?

 

[HCxUK]

Met office has it clearing up by 11...

Fully expected this to happen, first Cricket of the year after a glorious spring and early summer, should have lumped some cash on.

 

[Hiney]

I'm around a mile away and it's cloudy and dull, but not raining at the moment

 

[keaton]

First toss of the summer due in ten minutes

 

[jakarta]

Finally about to start, will see if Stokes is a useless TOSSER or not...

 

[jakarta]

Stokes an adequate TOSSER, wiins it and decides to bat, we shall see...

I was going to run it this week but I got tied up in something. The all-time Australians have been touring the country - they've just beaten Surrey by an innings

 

[Yes Chef]

I'm not sure I would have batted first tbh

Great comments. I missed Ward's question at the beginning, I hope this was a response to " Michael are you surprised at England's decision to go with Dom Bess as the sole spinner?"

Well said Mikey.

 

[The Wizard]

Snorter of a delivery.

 

[Mackenzie]

WTF was that Sibley

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

.

Is there piped 'crowd murmering' or are my ears going funny?

 

[The Wizard]

Sky are having an absolute mare here, cameras unavailable, no scorecards, no replays... all in the first over of the restart

Oh and a player bowled out for a duck leaving the ball, could it get anymore English.

 

[jakarta]

Good to see business has been resumed...

 

[jakarta]

Can we have some of our Fantasy England players available?

Hobbs, Compton and Hammond might be useful...

 

[Mackenzie]

Boooo

Get on with it umpires....it’s barely drizzle, we’ve waited all bloody summer for cricket......
