1st Test: West Indies v England at Bridgetown Jan 24-28 2019 - WEST INDIES WON BY 381 RUNS

[Mr Spock!]

Englands openers are worse than ours.

Where's the bloke skiting the fantastic England selection team.

 

[Timbo]

Dowrich and Holder batting like proper test players.

The lead passes 400 - can’t see the Windies losing.

 

[jargan83]

Lead out past 500, Holder 123* and Dowrich 81*

You’d imagine a declaration will come after Dowrich gets to 100

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Dowrich 116 no Holder 202 no.

England need 628 to win.

Or to bat for 2 days to draw.

Highest score by a number 8 in Test Cricket? Where’s Antilag when you need him?

Hopefully he pulled himself to death last night.

No one needs that plank

 

[Sphagnum]

23 fours and 8 sixes for holder in his double.

Well bowled england

Holy f**k, i thought the Windies had enough at stumps the day before, then this insane partnership. Tell us again how Anderson is better than McGrath, poms.

This would be epic listening to the bbc calling the game.

Great to see the West Indies get up like this.

More specifically, Jason Holder- as much as I wanted to, I've never really got the rave about him to be honest. At first glance, he appears to be a revival of the sort of iconic West Indian bowlers (albeit, not that quick) that made them top tier and fearsome- the opposite of what they are right now. But really, he's handy with the bat and a little better with the ball. He's better against England than anyone and better in the WI than anywhere else.

Ive rated him for a couple of years now, He has often come into bat at a lost cause, has never batted higher than at no7 only 16 times there . Mainly coming in at no 8 (41 times) and no 9 (6 times)

His batting is much more than handy pushing towards 35.00 average now, and bowling is heading towards under 28.00 per wicket

Hasn't really played a lot of tests away against any one nation, I reckon his away record overall will improve considerably from now on, he is only 26.

 

[_snafu_]

Jason Holder's innings was so good, he has a suburb in Canberra named after him.

@Tommy Smith

I wouldn't have minded they bat another session today, put on another 120+

Tonk a Pom just a wee more

 

[Timbo]

This has made up for how total shit our summer has been. Amazing.

 

[Iafeta]

Incredible. They even capitulated against Roston Chases part time nude nuts.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

WEST INDIES BEAT ENGLAND BY 381 RUNS.

Nice to see the Windies playing well again particularly in test cricket.
