A proper hammering on the cards for England.

First Test syndrome strikes again ---remember New Zealand last year ---all out for 58 and lost by an innings and 49 runs after making a better effort in the second innings.

The administration of WI Cricket is in a mess and the team is poor, for a so called Professional team of England to get beat by them says a lot about how good we really are

I rarely watch cricket these days, or take any interest in it, but I switched on to see the start of our first innings. You can tell how little cricket I watch because two young lads were opening for England and I'd never heard of either of them. Then up comes the batting order, and the muppet is saying what a phenomenally strong batting line up this is, even the No 10 has scored several first class centuries. Then I have to nip out for half an hour, and when I come back we're something like 48-8 !! Do these knowledgable cricket pundits sometimes take the piss, or was he serious about our batting line-up ?

No --he was serious ---it's just a shame that those doing the batting weren't taking it serious! It was a real shambles and fair crack to the West Indies because they bowled really well, however, some of our batsmen ----nothing to add.
