First Test: West Indies v England, Antigua, April 13-17.

[alfie]

Goodnight all ...roll on Grenada...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Superb effort from the West Indies.

England drove the game, but just lacking a bit of quality with the ball.

Good to see a contest in the first Test.

[Dilbert]

Well played WI
That's gutsy, without your IPL stars

[Aidan11]

Is that now the last 10 away tests we've failed to win?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Goodnight all ...roll on Grenada...

Bye Alfie. Hope the neighbours don't have a party.

[backfootpunch]

had we picked lyth ans rashid instead of jordan and trott im convinced we would have won

the conservative selection has cost us again, just like it did at the world cup

[Arthur Crabtree]

Seven games since a win in the WI.

Do England make changes for the next Test? Ali can't come in unless he's able to bowl 20 or so overs a day.

If Moeen is fit then him and Rashid in for Jordan and Tredwell.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not sure England will do much more than bring in Moeen for Tredwell.

thats what i would do

we have had serious problems getting the bowlers out in recent teams, i reckon rashid would solve that, tailenders dont have much of a clue when the ball is turning both ways

as well as tredwell did in the first innings, he doesnt put enough on the ball to consistently get batsmen out who are intent on defense

the all round ability of stokes and mooen would allow us the luxury of picking rashid

[dan08]

Sky only seem to care about Jimmy getting the record.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Nas on message in this test. Been praising Steely throughout. Stressing how united the team is.

Sky very positive about england, given they drew a game they were expected to win.

Enough in that pitch, with swing and reverse swing, the breeze and enough carry to take wickets.

[dan08]

Had 130 overs to bowl out West Indies. Should have won reasonably easily even on this flat pitch.

To be honest, i don't care Jimmy broke the wickets record. We drew the game.
