West Indies Tour of England - July 2020

It's going to be an easy win for ENG if there's no rain. This pace attack is relentless at home. Broad's 62 was crucial.

This pace attack is relentless at home.

I don't think so. Without Anderson and Broad this attack looks sort of hit and miss in terms of performance. Without Anderson, Australia were scoring 400+ the last time they played. Stokes looks to be an exception though.

Well, obviously if you take out the best two bowlers the attack is not gonna be as good

Well exactly: Broad and Anderson have nigh on 1100 (!!!!!!!) test wickets between them. Its a bit like saying: oh its unfair that England pick their best available team.

Without wheels, my bike is more of a clothes horse.

West Indies don't have a Steve Smith.

Crucial Hour this: good partnership developing.

I am hugely looking forward to Cornwall batting: can he bat a bit?


oooh Holder..........meh, miles in!

For all the chat of this being the best England seam attack, I'm not even convinced it's the best seam attack England could have picked for this Test. I reckon Mark Wood, who averages 18 with his new run-up, could replace Woakes or Archer and improve the bowling.

If he replaced Archer, he'd also improve the batting

He was a pinch-hitter in T20s if memory serves me right.

I heard how they don't look for NB's in the nets whereas they should.....happens too often!

That wasn't even the point.

If you take out Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins out of the Australian attack they still have James Pattinson and Jhye Richardson.
If you take out Jasprit Bumrah and Ishant Sharma out of the Indian attack they still have Umesh Yadav and Navdeep Saini as back ups. Infact India's best Test bowler hasn't even played a single Test since January 2018.

For England you take those 2 out you don't even a reliable pace attack which can deliver consistently for them.
