His accent is very Caribbean though. I think he can't be worse than what WI have right now so I can see him getting a gig in the future.

Yeah sorry I was talking about his background. He is Trini to de bone.

A big sigh of relief from everyone at the ecb as Curran tests negative for covid. Looks like we'll get some kind of runchase this afternoon in this England game.

I can see why he's such a popular team mate. Every squad needs a Mark Wood.

Windies will smile if that is to happen in the test too, I reckon.

Very little chance of that happening - dropping either Burns or Sibley would be farcical, plus Crawley did well in the few Tests he's played.Windies will smile if that is to happen in the test too, I reckon.

I think Bairstow at 4 would be a win for the Windies too though.

He is an interesting batsman in that if he does have a bit of luck he will take the game away in no time but having that luck is such a big if.

Buttler seems to be timewasting in a practice match. lol
4 or 5 times in the last 2 or 3 overs he's walked down to talk to the bowler holding the game up. Even had an instance where Parkinson got hit for 6, it took maybe 90 seconds to retrieve the ball then when Parkinson was ready go again, Buttler decided to walk down to talk to him for another 30 seconds.

We're generally quite good at playing off spin nowadays tbh, especially our right handers (we only have Campbell as a leftie and he will be out way before the spinner comes on). We are however, awful against slow left armers. Whilst Bess looks decent and no doubt could take wickets, I would certainly put money on Leach causing us more problems. Depends if you're building for the future or trying to win the test series I guess.

Looks very like it. Interesting selection ahead for the three quicks, don't think anyone really stood out or failed. As for the batting slots... who knows!
Think they'll go with something like Burns, Sibley, Crawley, Lawrence, Pope, Stokes, Buttler, Bess and 3 quicks.
I think Denley and Bairstow are down the pegging order now. But I've been wrong plenty of times before!!

My hot tip is that Broad doesn't play the first test. They will go Anderson, Woakes, Archer/Wood, Leach, Stokes.
