Think this was the 10th time ever that it's happened with 300 runs occurring too.

 

The West Indies two who stayed in all day were impressive, you couldn't imagine a partnership for England doing that.

well   see Jennings is keeping up us low average against pace bowlers, certainly doesnt look good enough imo unless hes playing in conditions that favour spin

FFS Jennings

Unlucky for Burns. Thought he'd make the ton.

Not so much unlucky as a very poor shot but he showed a bit of backbone and deserved a ton 

[SAFC1]

Needing something special from the captain. 

[cambridgefox]

Being a Worcestershire supporter this is hard to take but,Moeen wtf are you doing again.

He is much better than that,he really is.Blokes got so much batting ability,but is rarely showing it in test cricket.

[RowlattsFox]

Number 8 gets 200 and part time spinner takes 7 wickets. Pretty much sums it up. 

 

Least the fans out there can do something better with their day tomorrow. 

[SAFC1]

Shite. 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Just seen the score. Have Ambrose and Walsh come out of retirement?

[EastAnglianFox]

I know a few ex players have said it, but if any team other than England in world cricket starts handing out brutal hammerings id love it to be the windies.

[STEVIE B]

Too many players making the same mistakes. Jennings, no foot movement, Moeen too care free. Is this perception that we bat so deep giving our top order an attitude of 'lf l get out the guys behind me will get us out of a mess' ? Stop picking so many bits & pieces allrounders and go for a more balanced side. Also, Chase a non spinning spinner taking 8 for is truly shocking on our part. Well done Windies, thoroughly deserved. Seems like we have our eyes on the World Cup & The Ashes. 

[StanSP]

Says it all!

Moeen needs dropping, bring Foakes back in.

 

EDIT: Ignore me, I'm an idiot

Scored 2 in the first innings and 5 in the second innings of the defeat to the West Indies.

Wow I've had a mare here, didn't even realise he was in the line up Must have been in and out that quick!

 

I still stand by the fact that Ali when needed doesn't come up strong for us, he always gets out playing silly shots.

Ali is one for home tests only so far as batting is concerned . His and Rachid’s failure to respond to the Windies knocking them out of the attack and piling it back on the seamers will have been noted by the Australians 

[RowlattsFox]

Don’t know many chances Jennings needs to have? You need to get fair amount of time as an opening batsmen because it’s not a easy position but he has had lots of chances and only looked comfortable against spin. May as well see what Denly can do. 

 

Rashid is a waste of a spot, barely gets used. Broad in for Rashid, Denly in for Jennings. Moeen stays in as a bowler but I don’t see how he can be unbelievably good or abysmal, has to be a mental thing. Can only bat when those before him have scored runs.

Happy jennings has been dropped, he is not good enough for the international test level

[SAFC1]

A poor start? Who’d have guessed it
