West Indies Tour of England-2017

[aklemalp]

Our boys are in the UK for a good series of cricket.

We have a decent bowling lineup: Gabriel, Roach, Cummins, Alzarri Joseph, Bishoo, Holder.

Cummins already with experience in the country... playing county cricket.

Blackwood will be the surprise...

Go Windies! !!

Viva West Indies!

Cheers to Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago!

[aklemalp]

Martinique, Guadeloupe, Bequia (one of The legendary late broadcasterror Tony Cozier's favorite island destination).

WI needs to win all the ODIs, also SL needs to lose all the odis vs Ind..then and only then WI will qualify for the 2019 WC directly

[aklemalp]

I don't see us making it directly to the 2019 WC.

A less than 1% chance of that happening

Going back to the longer format, it was good to see Kemar Roach picking up wickets in the practice game

Soon, we will have enough pacers to cause teams to scratch their heads lol.

On this tour we have Cummins, Roach, Alzarri, Gabriel, to a lesser extent Holder...also Kensrick...

Beaton was more than a handful last nite, I hope WI have plans for him in the near future.

[Gowza]

I'm surprised It's taken this long for Beaton to really be acknowledged, he was a clear talent in his u19 days not dis similar to alzarri or holder who both got opportunities for WI at much younger ages.

[aklemalp]

We play Kent in another practice match tomorrow. The batsmen need to step up

[aklemalp]

Solid batting from West Indies in the tour match

400 runs for only 3 wickets.

Shai Hope and Chase with centuries

[aklemalp]

Kyle Hope also.

Wanted to see a performance like this in overseas conditions in a long time.

[aklemalp]

Century for Kieron Powell in the second innings.

Good game for the Windies

[aklemalp]

Roston Chase's scores on this tour so far: 81, 50*, 110*, 60*..

301 @ 301

[aklemalp]

First session of the first day-night test in England...

England are batting first, 71/2.

Cook and Root at the crease... Miguel Cummins and Kemar Roach with one wicket a piece.

Yeah, brother...what a game...
And what a bunch of names -
The cook is trying to keep the roach out of his root and cumin curry.

[aklemalp]

Pathetic batting display.

Excellent game for England. As comprehensive as it can get.

[aklemalp]

Bat on Kraigg
Bat on Shai

Let's take advantage of the situation.

Go Windies!

[aklemalp]

Kraigg into the 80s
Shai not too far behind

Partnership is 125 off 204

[aklemalp]

Into the nervous 90s for Kraigg

[aklemalp]

Brings up his century with a six!

Wellplayed so far Kraigg. Job is not over yet

[aklemalp]

So it's tea time now and we currently trail England by 52 runs. Let's hope that those runs will be wide out soon, and we start leading with no further wicket down

[aklemalp]

Shai brings up his century now, and it's our first double century partnership overseas in 3 years.

[aklemalp]

Almost nearing England's total. Come on boys.

Rally,
Rally round the West Indies,
Now and forever

[aklemalp]

250 is up,
