West Indies v England

[The Equaliser]

3 Test series in the Caribbean starting later today in Antigua. England will still be reeling from their poor showing in the WC but surely they will not fail to beat WI who don't even take Test cricket seriously anymore ?

Or will they...?

It's just like playing Oxford University : Bring back Pietersen

Going to be a great cricket few months ahead. Australia play 2 tests there as well before heading over to England.

Might win a Test but we'll see.

WC will still be a bad taste

More spinner friendly than pace friendly the pitches over there these days, if they're patient with bat and ball they will get the results.

England batting : 1-1 - Jonathan Trott out for a duck. Nice new bright beginning of the new era of exciting cricket full of youth and vigour

That's EXACTLY what's wrong with England. Trott was yesterday's man.

Without seasoning.
I await to hear Strauss's mumbling excuse with interest. Off for rain
Ballance - play him in the World Cup although not a one day player. Make him lose confidence. Result tentative and timid.
Get Michael Vaughan in.
