a sniper has got the umpire !

I'd take 300 from here. Batting doesn't look great at all. The pitch is dusting up big time.

Surely we had a saffer or two in most games back then

Surely the umpire should come off and do the check in the dressing room.

There was Nas as well. Craig White.

From this position I'd be happy with 350+

300 would be a little dissapointing from 170-2

Very surprised Groundsman didn't leave any grass here.
quite surprise England picked ball here now.
England bowling attack doesn't look suited for the pitch/conditions.

I suppose, but wickets don't look far off.

England went from Antigua 2004 until the third Test with Australia in 2015 with a South African in the side. Obviously, Nas played then, so it goes back further than that.

Just a question of if Ballance and Stokes have missed games together since then.

I'll check.

Nope, these two and Compo go back to the 2015 Ashes. So it's before the 2004 tour of WI.

Are England unique with this? I guess they are.
