[Cricket] West Indies v England 3rd Test

[Simster]

In the first inning of this series, Sir Jimmy Anderson bowled 30 overs, taking 5 wickets for 46 runs.

I think that probably deserves to be considered an 'exception' too...

Correct of course. What happens when he retires? We are going to be shithouse for a good few years.

Pray that Jofra Archer develops into the player he just MIGHT be.

Moeen has bowled well again in this series.

 

[Questions]

We are worldbeaters ! Never in doubt.....

The West Indies will be all out for a hundred. ( broken clock theory)

 

[BensGrandad]

Root showing that he can hold a bat and score runs.

Don't agree, surely Archer, Woakes, Wood and Stokes isn't a bad attack when Anderson & Broad have gone?

We haven't seen much of Stone either, he was called up ahead of Wood until he got injured.

The Curran brothers will only get better. Right / Left arm opening attack.

Our problem long term is quality spin, hopefully Virdi will fit the bill.

You can tell I have no biase to Surrey ��

Played Skipper. 16th Test ton and without injury he could easily play for another 10 years - 40 plus tons?

 

[BensGrandad]

well done Joe Root it was needed.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that if still in bat we should declare and have 30 = 45 mins bowling at them before tea.

Root and Stokes giving it the old 'long handle' treatment. Great stuff.

Tea ?? We're almost 500 ahead now, it'll be 650 or more if we're still in at lunch at this rate. I could be wrong, but I think that might be enough.

Edit - declared, Windies need 485 to win.

361/5 - Root out, great innings

I would have carried on for another hour and old them to throw the bat 20/20 style just to make sure of an ungettable target. not saying we havent enough already but just to be sure.

Still nowhere near tea - they aren't due lunch until 4pm our time. Highest test chase EVER is 418.

Declared WI need 485 to win, oh dear 5/1

records are made to be broken so I would play safe to ensure a result

Not sure how many batsman they have it was 9 yesterday as one got a nasty injury running for the ball and another a finger or hand injury
