First Test: West Indies v England, Antigua, April 13-17.

[Making_Splinters]

Another brilliant test for captain Cook.

[Aidan11]

Middle order required to bail us out again.

Captain Cook get pen and paper and start your letter to whom it may concern

[Gingerfinch]

Pressure on Ballance. Bell may be needed again?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Typical Cook dismissal.

Great ball to Bell first up.

Good pitch this. Plus the conditions.

[captaincolly]

Surely even England couldn't lose against this side? They're certainly threatening to.

[Arthur Crabtree]

250 lead should be enough. And they'll get more than that.

[Aidan11]

If we lose, Graves has scored a huge own goal.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I reckon if England lose a Test in the series, and still win the series, Cook and Moores will go.

[Aidan11]

England lose first test - sack Whittaker

England lose 2nd test - sack Moores

England lose 3rd test - sack Cook

[Aidan11]

Bit of a lazy waft there. Luckily no connection.

[mikesiva]

Taylor swinging it...not often I say that about a WI pacer.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Since before the last home Ashes series, ie, his last ton, Cook averages 28.8. In ODI's he averages 27 in the same period and was dropped.

I reckon only Trott of his opening partners in that period averages less.

Cook's overall test record will rightly be considered if his place as a player is in jeopardy. He's never been a great ODI player.

[Arthur Crabtree]

27 is probably a better ODI average than 28 is a Test average.

Cook's overall Test career has been protecting him for over a year. That's why his partners have made way and he's still there. But surely only Devon Smith remains forever.
