Starc survives yet again :shock: :roll:
Good to see Swepson get an opportunity, really interested to see he goes. I'm also interested to read/hear from the Aussies why he replaces Hazlewood and not Starc.
I would imagine due to the footmarks assisting Lyon? But we'll see what they say.

It'll be interesting to see how Lyon goes bowling with Swepson. From memory, the GOAT hasn't always performed so well when deployed in tandem with another slow bowler.

Yes that is probably part of the reason, I just read that Cummins has indicated he expects some reverse swing so maybe that's why they've decided to pick Starc ahead of Hazlewood.

Ive surfed between the IN V SL and the PA V AU games
Watched :
80% IN V SA
20% PA V AU

I prefer watching the pink ball tests, they are much more exciting

Locky how good was Iyer, amazing innings 92 off 98 balls
Once again Pant was awesome while he lasted 39 off 26 balls

Have to agree, bowled out but fantastic run rate and has paid off.

Stumps Sril Lanke 6/86.

Bumrah/Shami sensational with the new ball against some pretty ordinary batting

Nkrumah Bonner continued a great start to his test career. Averaging 49 after his first 18 innings and has scored 5 times over 50.

The most promising bat since Darren Bravo who never quite turned out.

Joe Root made his 24th test match hundred in England's second innings, the second most of any Englishman (going past Kevin Pietersen who made 23) and his 13th as captain which is the most for any English captain.
Root has the most matches, wins, losses, runs, hundreds, fifties and catches of all English captains.

West Indies v England 2nd Test @ Bridgetown, Barbados

England batting - Root another hundred, Lawrence 50

2/187 with still about 20 overs to play

Looks very much like an English dominant crowd, all on holiday which is a bit sad to see from the local front. Locals priced out from tickets??

You can view the play at the WI youtube channel link below

Sadly crowds in the windies have been shit for a long time.

A combination of cost of living/ticket prices and just a lack of interest in the sport over there

Sadly cricket is a clear third in popularity over there behind football and basketball.

Stamps day two.
England 9/507 declared
Root 153 (Now has 12 150+ scores, the most of any Englishman).

Stokes 120 (His 11th test hundred has gone past 5000 runs and is the fifth player to make 5000 runs and take 150 test wickets. Sobers, Botham, Dev and Kallis and the other four).

Roach took 2/68 moving past Sobers and into 7th spot on the most test wickets for the West Indies list with 237. Michael Holding is above him on 249.


WI 1/71
