One series win in 50 years: How the Caribbean remains England's final frontier​

Since England's victory in 1968, numerous generations have come a cropper in the West Indies

England have toured the Caribbean on ten occasions in the past 50 years and, despite the recognition that West Indies' standards are not what they were at the height of their hegemony in the 1980s and early 1990s, have emerged with a solitary series win in that period.

[Todd Hoffman]

Good arm wrestle here. England probably ruing not having one of Anderson/Broad. Pitch looks benign though.

Woakes: Test stats - 94 wickets at 22.63 in English conditions, and 31 at 52.38 overseas.

Zac Crawley tons up majestically

There is Ul Haq couple of sublime tons v the Aussies last week

How wonderful these plodders with around 30.00 batting average before these tons , are now plundering test attacks.

Just shows you what hard work, belief and persistence does

Looking forward who will be reaching the No1 batting ranking first







Poms 1/217
Lead by 153
