England v West Indies

[ASCPFC]

In the absence of football, watching the cricket. First match England were good, West Indies were poor. Second match of three on now - 50 overs.
West Indies look better, whilst England look loose. Back to some poor fielding. Match should be closer today. West Indies will need to accelerate soon.

We're only any good when we've got an Irish skipper.

Or a Kiwi. Or a South African.

One day?

One day?

Tests too.

No one comes close in the one dayers.

Ben Stokes?

Mainly test matches though, much better than Root.

Openers have not done well.

Joe Root just got lucky on a run out of it would've been worse. Might still be the way we're going.

They need to just play themselves in for a few overs before they start whacking it. A constant England one day issue. They don't know quite how to time their innings. I would still think England would have a decent chance currently - Root is one who doesn't whack it, and can hang around.

This is just about still on after Root's excellent century.

He is still there will the tail wag.

Get the feeling this will be Root's highest one day score soon.

Good bat, less good when it came to captaincy.

You called it. A perfectly paced innings of great skill.

A masterclass innings by Root. True giant of cricket. Have watched England in the West Indies,Australia and Dubai each time Root had not let us down. Back in England next week to attend a couple of T20 matches sheme Root won't be playing

 

[steeleye20]

I've followed Joe Root from the start, and it's difficult to find anything more to say.

They should be our next entry in the Eurovision song contest.
