England v West Indies 2012

Congratulations to Andrew Strauss on another century, 141 out of England's 428. Pietersen got 80.

Another test and series win for England at home then. Their home record is excellent in recent years but the series against South Africa will I suspect produce a much sterner challenge than fnr quite some time given the strength of their batting and bowling.

Yes a comfortable win for England in the end, although with West Indies only conceding a first innings lead of 58 it looked for a time like it could be a close match. Since 2000 West Indies have lost 17 of 26 Tests played against England. They have won only 2 in the same period - at Edgbaston in 2000 and Jamaica in 2009.

England are resting James Anderson from the last test.
Finn and Onions are in contention for the fast bowling position.

Chris Gayle has been called into the West Indies team for the three-match one day series with England which begins on June 16

West Indies number 11 Tino Best makes 95 in a last wicket stand of 143. West Indies 426 all out.

Shocking bowling performance by England this morning! message to the selectors next time Jimmy Anderson says he wants to play, BLOODY WELL LET HIM!

Well done to Tino, made this match interesting. But now they're off for bad light

The difference between the sides was that England picked 5 Test quality bowlers against WI with ODI specialist.Gayle will make a difference if he plays in the next match,but how did they leave out Tino after his Man of the Match Performance.
