Great result and shows what you can do with good spinners in that part of the world but really need to do that against Pakistan and India now.

West Indies v England just started. Lovely

Not so much for England though, all out for 77!!!!

Roach and Holder are good solid test cricketers but to bowl England out for such a low score is very poor cricket by the visitors, the great series win over Sri Lanka could be soon forgotten as they will be at least chasing over 300.

Windies second innings. Typical England failings. WI batsmen 7 & 8 currently put on 70 runs. We are poor at getting lower order batsmen out, been a failing for years now.

Windies playing really well here

[johnh]

Lower order batsmen now put on 190 runs. Windies lead by 500 runs.

This isn't an excuse but cricket needs teams like the Windies & Pakistan to perform well makes it so much more competitive.
