But did you not say this test series was too one sided and West Indies were the laughing stock of world cricket..

Re: Home tests 2017

I and many others far better qualified than myself did, and until this test it was a true, accurate assessment. Even some of West Indies legends professed embarrassment at the dire state of the team.

They have lost the large majority of recent tests, more than half of them by an innings as well.

A quite remarkable transformation but one that I welcome. The last test was an abomination and at least this test will give thier supporters at home something to lift them at long last.

Don't you just love expert pundits and armchair experts.

Re: Home tests 2017

The simple fact is that all of those experts where correct in their assessment of the Windies performances over the past four or five years. They where rubbish, this test performance has come out of the blue, let's see if they can build on it.

Nothing like backtracking from ones original view.

Re: Home tests 2017

You seem to be unable to understand my posts, i am not back tracking. My opinion of the West Indies side 'before' this game was a fair, reasonable assessment given just how truly, consistantly awful they have been in recent years culminating in the last match.

In case you forgot they lost 19 wickets in one day in that match. They have been very good in this test but I need to see a few more performances like this before changing my mind.

As an example, Shai Hopes test average was 18 before this match.

Re: Home tests 2017

Brilliant result for the WIndies and Test Cricket. I always thought they were underated . But yes, they need to back it up with a few more results.

England didn't do that much wrong, just outplayed by a team that were playing for their credibility. Think England were planning to rest a few for the last Test, will they now?

That is not what you said after the first test Mr K.

Re: Home tests 2017

Really set up nicely now, what I would like is for Holder to win the toss and bat first or Root to win it and bowl first.

Well that is something that is even going to cheer up the most miserable of cricket fans.

Well I got my wish, Holder won the toss and batted. Very heavy going for Windies so far and Cook playing butter fingers again.
