England in Sri Lanka and West Indies

Yep, that was a good one. They all are, in truth.

Loved the Jack Russell stuff and the Tresco and Faisal Iqbal sledging bit.

Some really interesting insight in all four episodes, though.
 
Note to SKY : Instead of showing endless repeats of matches against the WI from the 2017 summer, why not dig out previous tours of the Caribbean, as you've got the footage and rights going back to the 1990 Tour! :Facepalm:

Windies looking to hit Moeen to the boundary every other ball - he can barely get the ball to pitch, very poor bowling. Rashid has hardly bowled a ball and Curran looks very ineffective. That leaves Jimmy Anderson and Stokes who have both bowled sixteen overs in very warm conditions. Worrying signs already that wrong team has been picked.
 
End of day 1

West Indies 264 for 8

K Brathwaite 40
Campbell 44
S Hope 57
Chase 54
Hetmyer not out 56


Anderson 4-33
Stokes 3-47
Moeen 1-59
 
England 44-4

Not the best of starts.... to put it lightly.

Edit:

Make that 49-7 !!.... Looking very likely we will have to follow on.

Drat drat and double drat!!

In fairness the W Indies Bowled a good line
Stokes was debatable and Windies got umpires call, but last 7 wickets decent bowling imho
