About bloody time. Not sure what to forecast here.....typical Windies pitches of recent times would suggest a draw or two, but some speak of quicker less boring pitches being prepared which could advantage us, thoguh their attack's decent too. Hmm. No idea.

Word on the street is that this is a ‘tacky’ multi-spinner pitch, sadly. Still reckon Gabriel could knock some heads off though.

A sticky wicket eh....could well be a 3 spinner approach again which would certainly put Foakes' place at risk (see reasoning on my page 1 team post) and a reminder that I wouldn't drop him....I just think his place in the team gives the ECB a Broaderson vs Curran and Stokes headache

Indeed, I am back.
Just checked - my last post was 7th November. That feels a very long time ago.
Anyway, very much looking forward to this test. Also great timing. Gets me through the afternoon at work and I'm home in time to watch the last session.

Aggers reckons Rashid over Broad....wowsers, chosen over Leach as they're worried about the batting depth???

Well that’s the WI with the first victory.

Two captains have definitely read the pitch differently, WI are not playing a frontline spinner...

And they’re bowling last too. I’d probably trust the West Indian captain on West Indian pitches...

I'd have gone for Leach over Rashid.
And probably Broad over either.
