England tour of the Caribbean, ODI series, Feb 25-March 9

[Arthur Crabtree]

97-5. Better if England had batted first.

[Dr Cricket]

Was planning to start watching away games again after I retire (maybe not when England are playing) and I've always fancied going to Guyana (sadly it won't be at the old Bourda) but won't go if thy don't give equal treatment to all who watch the game.

it cost a premium to watch england overseas, not really worth the price really anymore.
you should do what some folks are doing watching non england games at SA, WI and Sri lanka, very cheap and great holiday.
believe Sri lanka vs Australia was 5 pounds for all 5 days for the test.

SA is quite popular as well if they play a good series.

Not good to see an injury to Jake Ball! Am a fan of his, and he is a useful bowler, rumours Chris Jordan could be called up to replace him

[Arthur Crabtree]

CJ's bound to get another chance sometime.

Yes, I think SL charge England fans more- I remember a lot of spectators watching from the fort at Galle for that reason.

A bit wary of SA.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks like the spinners took the pressure off in the middle overs.

And Billings goes for not many.

He can bowl at the death, but other than that he's useless

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well, he's had plenty of chances, but while he does well in T20Is, he'll be tempting to reselect for ODIs. England said he wasn't in their plans for the CT though, so unless there are burnout issues, I'd expect one of those out in SL to get the call. If anyone does- Finn is already out there.

[andy]

We probably already enough seamers out there to be honest...its only a 3 match series..

[Arthur Crabtree]

And the WI these days will mean there'll be two spinners. Still, it's only a 14 man squad so they are a bit light and they haven't padded out the party with pace, as they usually do.

[andy]

only a 3 man squad whats the point..pointless going all the way to carribean for only 3 matches, why bother calling up anyone else...no need.

[rich1uk]

think most of us were hoping Wood was going to be available for ODIs but he looks like maybe being somone who cant stay healthy

[andy]

yeah i wouldn;t be suprise if he didn't play another test gutting but i think that's gonna be the case, and he may be a malinga type in limited overs...if he's fit pick him, but maybe get used to him not being around..

[Arthur Crabtree]

Buttler goes. Maybe Bairstow will be thinking of retiring out soon.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Maybe Wood is someone who might break into the CT squad, if fit.
