The WI did a WI. Otherwise, mostly a splendid day of cricket, despite Sam Curran trying his best to make me regret picking him in my World Team.

Good day, think it is a real shame that people are getting on Curran's back saying it should have been Broad selected, when I look at the team selection today I don't see it as a Curran vs Broad decision but a Rashid vs Broad call for this test. Whilst I imagine everyone who posts on here is aware and gets it, I feel it is worth reiterating about Curran. PLAYED 7 WON 7.
I can see WI all out for 300, and if this pitch plays as benignly as it has thus far, i'd certainly hope we can put a big enough total on the board to win this one comfortably.

And SCurran will score at least 50 of those.
I get the feeling that Rashid’s actually bowled better than Moe thus far, despite the one wicket. Anyway two spinners was almost certainly an error.

So, how many will West Indies be bowled out for?
I'm going with 287.

One short, one medium-length partnership? That seems about right. I’ll go for 296, I reckon there’ll be a few devastating swings of the willow.

I expect Hetmyer to get a few shots away, but Joseph averages 3 and Gabriel 4, so I don't expect them to last long against Jimmy and Stokes.

Sounds like Broad’s been given the day off to sulk.

Turns out I was too optimistic.

Jennings out for 17, good bowling by Holder but not the best shot.

watching replays, the ball he nicks off to is so so full, the pitch isn't quick or bouncy, why the hell wasn't he getting forwards more?

Because Jennings.
Anybody fancy getting up the list of county openers? 🤦🏻♂️
