Test match cricket

Almost a return to traditional test match cricket v WI. Great to see for myself. Many people don't understand. Ok. For myself.. a great close fielder. Love it! Favourite stroke? Forward defense!

England 117 for 9 first innings in the final, deciding test against West Indies.
Some things don't change, do they?

...and England recover to 204 all out.
Last wicket partnership of 90+.
England's bowlers save their asses again!

Worst England team ever?? gotta be up there with the team of the 90s. at least in the 90s there was some top class other international teams.

Ten runs ahead with two wickets remaining. Over by lunch, methinks.

Absolute shambles.
English cricket can't go any lower.

They'll need to get used to life after Jimmy Anderson and Broad eventually but to leave both out of this tour is a little puzzling. Having said that, like the ashes, the batting is the problem.

Were we top 10 years ago? Now perhaps bottom! Looked at squad from those times and many players still there or thereabouts.

Slightly off topic, here. Just watched the highlights of England v South Africa women's world cup semi-final. England top run scorer was dropped five times during her innings. Some of the catching opportunities could have been caught by a ten year old.
