Sensible for WI to bat again though.

and they haven't had to face a spinner yet.

might be all over today.... get 'em straight back in.....blow 'em away..... have a nice cuppa and a an extra 3 days rest

Well find out soon about the follow on. The last wicket has signalled tea.

by **Durhamfootman** » Thu Jan 24, 2019 7:27 pm

it would be nice to be able to say that 77 all out is a new low........... but it probably isn't

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Thu Jan 24, 2019 7:27 pm

Good idea of WI to play four face bowlers.

77 all gone...shambles

I think the commentators just said it's England's 4th lowest total against West Indies.

perhaps instead of Baffled Bayliss just saying that it doesn't matter who gets the runs, he should have added "as long as somebody does, for a change"

If this was an ATG attack, maybe get them in again. But really WI shouldn't get on enough of a roll to shoot out 20 wickets in a day.

And we're told the pitch will get worse.

So bat again.

I suppose if WI were got out for double figures it might seem like some initiative had been lost.

So don't bat again.

Windies batting again according to Sky.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Thu Jan 24, 2019 7:36 pm

Credit due to WI attack. 5-17 for Roach is sensational (a player very close to the scrap heap not so long ago). And 5-50 from Gabriel, Holder and Joseph.

Any way back for England?

WI will bat again.

by **Durhamfootman** » Thu Jan 24, 2019 7:37 pm

lets see if the England bowlers learned anything after seeing the WI boys bowl..... although they would probably have missed it if they were in the shower for 5 mins longer than usual during the innings break this morning

by **sussexpob** » Thu Jan 24, 2019 7:38 pm

Bayliss no doubt giving them a.dressing down for only scoring 77 in 31 overs

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Thu Jan 24, 2019 7:38 pm

England have Joe Denly to turn to if they want to change the batting...

... but usually they drop some bowlers.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Thu Jan 24, 2019 7:41 pm

England lost 5 wickets for 5 runs.

Bairstow/Root/Stokes/Moeen/Buttler.
