Overton is out injured isn't he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Overton is fine, it's Robinson who's injured. The squad is the 11 listed above plus Mahmood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 And it continues. Both openers back in the hutch just 22 balls into the Test, and after we won the toss and chose the bat. Lees plants his front foot and is plum in front, Crawley was well caught playing a poor shot, Root shoulders arms, and Lawrence edges a big waft. I expected nothing less than more abject batting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lees was about 2mm from being not out so wouldn’t say plum. Thought he was a bit unlucky. A lot of umpires give that not out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 If England can get to 300 they will feel ahead of the game. Lose no more wickets today and it might turn out to be England’s day. West Indies have 3 very good bowlers but will be interesting to see what their batsman produce tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully 400+ will be a decent total. Edited March 8, 2022 by Robbored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I think most England fans would be happy enough at the end of play. I reckon that Alistair Cook was the last England opener to score a century. I can’t think of any since.
