moeen ali and michael lumb to make debuts

[yogi206]

I do like ali as a batsman not sure how much his bowling will contribute though, but I watched him in a few county games and could hold an end

Interesting approach using a batsman who bowls off spin to open the bowling

[yogi206]

three overs in and it is pace off preferred !

[smilley792]

So at 45 for 4


Are the windies poor?


Or are England really in a new age with there 3ptonged spin attack??



Currently for me, the former!

Seems a bouncy new feel but lets not get carried away..

Good viewing for once

I just love listening to Tony Cozier commentate.

talk about brining the beach and the sound of the sea to the airways...!!

Now We have Tony and Sir Viv.

Marvellous!!!

Pakistan do it all the time with Mo Hafeez. Also, lots of WI pitches are puddings these days.

It shows that the England team have thought about things.

On that pitch why did England not give 35 overs to the three spinners and Ravi.  Then mix up the last 15 between Broad, Bresnan, Jordan and Stokes?!

[smilley792]

Things went wrong at the end,

Root one to many overs(bowled well before though)

Broad a few too less.

And why can't we bowl Yorkers? Does no team practise them anymore.

[MJB3]

Anyone else noticed how Ravi Rampaul has ballooned in size?

[csnew]

Brilliant come back by West Indies. Maybe England should have spent less time arguing over wides at the death.

Looks like a good score, maybe West Indies are a spinner short.
Surprised narine didn't open the bowling, particularly for lumb who can't play spin

For us non Poms, whats happened with your team? Cook gone? who's the coach? any other new faces. This left handed Amla looks good.

Team is merely the squad for the world t20. So people that dont normally play odi are in the squad hales lumb wright etc

And why cook is not here(hes odi cap but does not play t20)

Moenn ali the leftie is new to it all.

Giles is in charge who has been for a while in limited overs.
