Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 We're still in the realms of West Indies only really needing one batsmen to get a decent score in the 4th Innings, and lots of overs to get it. England could do with staying out there for a while, even if they aren't scoring runs. I think they can say goodbye to the win unless Broad somebody does one of his mad spells something incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 England gonna England. That should be Buttler done in test match cricket. As such, I look forward to another couple of low scores from him next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, if Wood gives it some humpity & gets them to 220 it is game on, the pitch seems ok still so anything less should get knocked off easily, the first session tomorrow will decide the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Oooh! 5 for 30. That's a good old fashioned England batting collapse. As it stands, I'd take the Windies to win this. If England can eek out another 40 runs or so, the pendulum begins to swing. Cracking test match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Whatever lead England end up with, they are going to have to bowl a lot better than they did in the first innings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see wood, archer, or bess doing much. But i really have no clue other than listening to the experts.They certainly need another 25 otherwise it's definitely against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The fact that wood and archer are able to add runs on this pitch either means the windies are bowling very poorly or the pitch is dead. If England can get a lead of 210+ we could have an exciting conclusion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the f**k was archer doing with the review? Wasting time? No harm in doing it as last man. The cricket equivalent of punting the ball into the stand and claiming the throw in. ETA: As Atherton just said it is more of a day 4 pitch than a day 5, so I'd expect West Indies to get this. Not sure about the 59% England win prediction at all.
