Then you might as well bring back roy, hales, Bairstow as your top three.. ‘put the pressure on’.. it’s a test match ffs.. you do t need to put pressure on... they ain’t good enough to bowl ball after ball after ball in the right place...

They seem to be good enough at the moment to bowl ball after ball in the right place.  And with a 1-0 lead in a 3-match series they don't need to do anything differently.  As the number of overs has now opened up a healthy lead over Sibley's score and with rain around tomorrow, it would be interesting to understand what this game plan is intending to achieve.  Were this a club game, Holder would be getting stick right now for deliberately dropping Sibley to keep him at the crease to make sure the team couldn't get a competitive score on the board

I can Sibley getting found out pretty quickly. Neil Wagner will have a field day with him.

He currently has a higher average than any NZ opener in living memory. So im sure he'll cross the wagner bridge when he comes to it

The mini fridge?

The beer fridge?

The wine cooler?

they're all smaller versions of Fridges right?

For all the naysayers, how much could England have used an innings like this in the first test? Outstanding test match batting.

Good to see he has realised quite early the level he needs to be at fitness wise
12kg is a lot to take off as anyone who has tried to lose weight will testify I’m sure  :)

Sibley playing his natural game but what is Stokes' reason for such a slow knock? Tough to understand this knock of his. Dont think the Windies are bowling that well.

I hope he is taking ownership as a senior player to set a platform to win and test and to do that if batting first you need a decent score. If we can get 450+ can’t see is losing this a match and reckon you will win 8/10 in U.K. conditions if you get 450+ and if it takes two days to do that it’s fine for me.

This is such poor management by the Windies with their bowlers and such a quick turnaround time between matches
