*Official* West Indies Tour of England 2020

Does it make it clear they are not looking at Bairstow as a keeper for this series? Since they put him in the side with Foakes?

 

[morgieb]

So Foxtel don't have the rights to this series? What? Who does?

 

[morgieb]

Interesting that the BBC are showing highlights from this series at the end of the day's play. Obviously not the real thing but at least it's something.

So is Buttler going to be vice captain? Superb white ball player but I can't understand how he is in the test team.

Has had some good runs in the test team even though it’s been disappointing recently. But I think he is captaining one side here because he’s captained a handful of ODIs and they don’t want to bother some of the newcomers with it.

Wtf, seriously? I was literally just about to renew my Kayo subscription in readiness. How the **** do we watch here in Aus?

They're in test match whites at least. Burns opening with James Bracey, who cricinfo reveals averages 35 in the second division, but over 60 in his brief one-day career.

 

[Howe_zat]

Whoever is stre*ming the live feed is having to manually change between cameras each over. Cursor showing and all. Quite charming really.

Either Anderson has gone off after 3.3 overs and is replaced by Coverton halfway through his over, or the scorecard has just been calling Overton 'Anderson' for no reason, because it's clearly Overton bowling.

 

[Howe_zat]

Stokes drops Bracey off Overton. 32/0.

Both batsmen on 14 but Bracey has faced twice as many balls.

Jimmy changes ends and celebrappeals for a caught behind that's given not out.

 

[Starfighter]

Looks like they're still using last year's non swinging ball. The ECB ruined the only thing that was right with English cricket.

 

[Howe_zat]

Overton gets Burns which is fair since he's been the best bowler today.

Has moved it away from the left and right hander, with Denly coming in at three, and he has 1-7 off five overs.

 

[Beamer]

Very jealous that England's warm up has a live stream. No matter how basic, it's making me happy watching some cricket!

Our warm up is restarting at 12.30. Not sure how much we're getting out of this second warm up, lets hope the test batsmen get a good run out against Roach, Joseph and Gabriel.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

More rain today.
Wanna see da Silva ton up

 

[Howe_zat]

Anderson has been wayward. Lewis Gregory is bowling second change.

Since the first wicket, absolutely nothing of interest has happened.

 

[Beamer]

More rain today.
Wanna see da Silva ton up

I think play has just restarted. Fingers crossed he does ton up.

 

[Howe_zat]

Update: Joe Denly made it into double figures from his 40th ball. Lovely stuff. Brings a tear to the eye.

 

[MW1304]

Mahmood just castled Denly off a no ball lols

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah Mahmood has been dodgy from what I've seen. Not a great day for him

Boundaries being hit against Leach now.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Last score I saw was Holder’s XI 152-5 (42 Overs)

Da Silva 75*
Reifer 14*

C. Holder 9-0-26-2
