Third Test: West Indies v England, 1-5 May.

[Dr Cricket]

Those bookies are supposed to know what they're doing.

Well they think England will lose today.
Got a feeling Bookies are just recovering losses on this games considering All game England were big favourites, guessing many people have WI at 2.5+ odds for this game.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Cook needs a fourth slip. He's missed a few chances there in this match. And not by moving his third slip wider either.

[Alviro Patterson]

If Swann had been playing in this game, he would have picked up a stack of wickets. If they are going to stick with Ali as the main spinner then he is going to have to up his bowling considerably. Give him a bit of leeway as he is back from injury I suppose.

Can't give Moeen Ali any leeway when he is prefered to two perfectly fit spinners in Rashid and Tredwell, the latter who has done litle wrong in the 1st test.

The ECB management are effectively saying to prospective frontline spin bowlers in County Cricket (and lower down the cricket pyramid) that you must bat as well to play for England.

It's like Cricket Australia deciding that the next spin bowler after Shane Warne is Michael Clarke or Glenn Maxwell, or Cricket South Africa opting to play JP Duminy as a frontline spinner, or likewise New Zealand Cricket with Kane Williamson.

Something has gone wrong between the coaches and selectors. The selectors have given England a player (Rashid) that the coaches don't think can play.

That's why we should do away with a selection board, bar the coach, and captain.

Come on windies

[shankycricket]

Once again, Buttler is not out, hes too low in the order

Him and Moeen need to swap places

[Arthur Crabtree]

There is meant to be a selector on the tour. Anyway, Strauss will be in charge of selection soon. Though he won't be going on tours apparently. Or won't be expected to.

Is Strauss definitely confirmed?

[Arthur Crabtree]

No. Vaughan has pulled out, so the press are assuming that means Strauss will get the job. But the press don't always know.

horrendous batting once again, at least Buttler gave it a go down the order..but he is way too low at 8 to make a significant impact..

No worries. Just make sure to disable the extension after it's loaded as I personally don't really trust them for anything but a quick spoof of my ip and it will slow down your speeds on other stuff if you don't.

Anyway, back to cricket, this isn't a bad start for WI. When do England panic?
