The Cricket Thread

[Number 1 Jasper]

18 wickets yesterday .

None today .

 

[The Ides of March]

W/Indies declare .

Holder 202 not out . Dorwich 116 not out .

The first time England have not taken a wicket in an entire day since 1982 .

With all that in mind , am I alone in being overjoyed at seeing the WINDIES on form in TEST CRICKET ?

You are not alone in your pleasure. It woiuld be great if this is the start for them becoming a forcé in the world of test cricket again.

That's not happening any time soon.

Will I ever learn? Splitting my time between ladies rugby (England currently winning 27-0) and the Test Match (WI 189-5) and I have so far missed all but one of the ladies' tries and all the men's wickets.

OK...missed another try and just caught the conversion 34-0

Can the Windies get a lead of over a 100?

Dowrich gone. Bowled Broad, caught Buttler. 236-6

When was the last time a West Indies team proved so durable in an innings? Good to see, although some on here will be despondent at England's showing.

298-9

Lead 111 runs.

Bravo out for 50. 306 all out,
119 lead....which will probably be enough of a lead on this pitch.

Very poor shot, Burns. Just when things were looking OK.

Good to see they have brought back Boycott and Brearley as openers...

Bairstow had replaced Stokes (out, caught and bowled) when no-ball was given. Stokes had to fetch his kit again.
