If Kieran Powell worked closely with Newbery to develop the Triumph, how come he's using a blank stick?

Having watched the windies bowl didn't think there was any urgency just going through the motions
Not impressed with the batting so far either poor shot selection from Lewis falling for the old 3 card trick

[Seniorplayer]

Awful shot from Braithweight will  the the windies get 100

Woakes is bowling well thou. Everything looks in sync with his bowling action you can see why England see him as Anderson's  long term replacement.

Shai Hope is a great-looking player.

He's got to go some to be as good as Jimmy
In this match the commentators are saying Plukett  is Englands best bowler

No...what I said was England will replace Jimmy with Woakes because he is the best of the rest, not that he is as good as Anderson.

Anderson is a once in a lifetime bowler, Bob Willis thinks he is our best ever bowler....that's some compliment from an old player.

I suppose you could have a good argument Anderson v Fred trueman if you wanted too, but that's probably for the bar after a few pints.

Will they though I don't reckon he is has nailed on as some  think there's others around inc one Mark Wood  as for Jimmy v Fred having seen Fred bowl ( I saw the match as it happened when Fred became the first bowler to 300 test wickets ) I would say Fred was quicker and more accurate  than Jimmy but Jimmy does more with the ball I would say they would be equal

It's a dead heat? Wow well there we go.

mark wood won't be able to play Five day cricket long term. I wish he would, but he won't. He's late 20's now and has injuries in the wrong places.

he's a thrilling bowler when fit as he can swing it at 90mph, can't think of any other English bowler that has done that.
Harmison......genuinely quick ...was straight up and down.

enjoy Wood while we can and all fans hope he is fit for 2017.
Broad and Anderson could well retire within a year of each other and that's when our problems start.

Anderson probably not so sure about broad  if he stays fit and woakes will be around 30 maybe England should bring in a younger bowler from the lions.

West Indies got a slim chance if these 2 stay in. Good effort. Different chase if Russell and pollard were to come.

@Alvaro because Tim is still making his bats maybe (just a guess) he's going to use tims stickers
