Second Test: West Indies v England, April 21-25

Ali back. Where will he bat? I'm guessing at six.

its a seriously deep batting lineup now with buttler as low as 8

That's what England like, and is why Jordan is in the team.

I wonder if we will see Anderson batting above broad

I don't have a problem with having a deep batting lineup as long as you aren't compromising the bowling to get it and with moeen and stokes as 4th and 5th bowlers I don't think we are

at times in the past we have played people not good enough with the ball imo to try and get a deeper batting lineup but don't think that's the case here

I do with Jordan, who is the new Bresnan. I'm not keen on Jordan as a first change seamer.

[rich1uk]

just as Anderson was at the top of his runup the rain starts

[Aidan11]

Pretty even session so far.

possibly , with the batting lineup we have we could maybe afford a woods or plunkett as 3rd seamer

[Aidan11]

Well this sucks.

[yuppie]

Is Jordon really one of the top 3 seamers in the UK?

[Aidan11]

I love Moores' thinking - England fail to take twenty wickets in the last test so they drop the bowler who got the most.

[Gingerfinch]

Is Jordon really one of the top 3 seamers in the UK?

No, but he can chip in with the bat!

[Alviro Patterson]

“We’re going to have to think out of the box if this pitch has the same characteristics, which I’m sure it will. We’re going to have come up with a lot of different ideas now to get those 20 wickets."

and the pearls of wisdom that is the ECB come up with an idea of fielding eight batsmen on a road of a surface

[Aidan11]

Start in 5 minutes with a late lunch.

Indeed. As Aidan says above. England could not take 20 wickets, but strengthen the batting.

[rich1uk]

we have strengthened the batting but I think we have strengthened the bowling too

whether we could have had someone else in for Jordan is another matter but I don't see a problem replacing tredwell with moeen
