This is looking like an awful decision bat the toss.. didn't understand it then, certainty don't now

The best test matches are often the ones where the decision at the toss is a very difficult one.  The pitch looks dry and I can understand why England don't want to bat last on it, but batting first will be tough given the conditions.  This is what test cricket should be like in my view, not like playing in India or Australia where you bat first every time and wait for the pitch to deteriorate

i get that completely i just think we had the opportunity to get the game won, or close to with the ball first time round then try and bat once 2nd innings of the game

but its going to make an interesting game, we've heard all about how the Windies strength is with the ball so we'll see

If Foakes doesn't get a go after this then he never will. Buttler doesn't add anything Foakes doesn't in Test cricket.

He'd already secured it with his plummy public school tones when the Beeb interviewed him yesterday!

That was a lowlight, 4 minutes of interview with a player who'd taken no part whatsoever in the day's play.

Thought Buttler batted quite well today, slim pickings though... The over Stokes got out was some pretty dim batting.

First innings after such an extended break with no practice. Not fair being too critical. Also Windies bowled really well. Think someone like Holder is well suited to English conditions.
