Good low scoring Test ended in Bridgetown yesterday with a win for the WIndies, or should that be WIndies B team as most of their top players are playing in the IPL. That drew a Test series that England should have really dominated and won 3-0. It was claimed on Sky that one of the selectors had openly stated if England did not win the series convincingly then “heads would roll”. Could be the usual media bullshit or maybe something will be done as it needs to be.
What goes on with the England team defies belief at times. England were all out just before lunch, resulting in the WIndies openers having to face 1 over before lunch. No opener fancies that. So Cook then sets a field that only includes 3 slips. WTF? Typically straight on the defensive from the off.
Two part-time spinners in Moeen and Root bowling. Broad not bowling too well but his batting has gone completely to shit. Buttler bats so far down the order that he ends up batting with the tailenders. Trott? Maybe his time has gone but he has just announced his retirement from International cricket.
NZ next then the Ashes. I can’t see England doing anything what so ever other than being whitewashed.
