West Indies survive the final day after England tried to force the win.
West Indies skipper the immovable object as he adds an unbeaten half century to his first dig century. Unsurprisingly he was MoTM.

This shrivels my nut-cluster!

Robinson not fit, so Woakes handed a reprieve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the point - what more do England have to learn from Woakes overseas? He's poo, he;s a busted flush, he's impotent! Why pick him for a series decider. Why not leave Fisher in, why not pick Parkinson and play 2 spinners? What is wrong with England's selection decision-making!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An attack of;

Stokes
Overton
Fisher
Leach
Mahmood

is at least moving forward, not flogging the same old dead horses.

I wouldn't pick Overton either. Fisher, Mahmood, Stokes, Leach, Parkinson.

You've got to assume Woakes batting is getting him three nod. Not that it should, but there's no other reason surely?

Agree with this. Please apply when this lot of selectors are sacked. Cheers lol

Last game of the series, let's just reverse the batting order and batters all bowl 😆

If the wicket is as flat as previous We will need some variety as the seamers are mostly impotent.

Missed chance to play Parkinson, if he doesn’t play away cannot see him playing any home tests.

For me so far Lawrence has been the plus point in the middle order

Why take Parkinson and not give him a chance. It may do abit early on but 4th & 5th day - he could add something different to the attack.

Maybe the pace bowlers can go round the wicket and create some rough outside the right handers off stump -

Woakes over Parkinson makes absolutely no sense here. Why bother bringing these players?

All the media reports say track looks like there's something in it for the pacers - mistake not to play Parkinson last game but at least they've moved on from the Silverwood era of picking the team for the previous match all the time!

England can't do anything about the pitches this series has been played on which have been responsible for a very poor standard of cricket, but they do control team selection which has been very poor.

Coming off the back of an Ashes series where an attack of right arm medium fast bowlers backed up by an ineffectual finger spinner proved yet again to be an unsuccessful formula, I am not really sure we have learnt anything here.

Parkinson had to play on this tour. If this isn't the surface for two spinners, he should have replaced Leach in the side

Parkinson likes to bowl with a new Dukes ball in April- perhaps he will get a chance then.
