I've never seen an England side with four spinners in the team.
They have already bowled their two part time spinners, so Tredwell & Parry must be certanties to follow later.
But what damage will the Windies world class spinner inflict on the England batting

West Indies 68/3 off 17 overs.

Dwayne Bravo has been given out stumped after an extremely long wait and many replays. Buttler messed it up by dropping the ball, but the third umpire eventually ruled that it was still the ball (and not the gloves) which broke the stumps. That (suspect) decision makes West Indies 133/5 from 35 overs.

WI all out for 159 with 5 overs to spare.
So can England manage to get 3 and a half an over to keep the 3-match series going.

Agree, back in the day the benefit of the doubt always went with the batsman. If it takes as long as it did to decide using modern technology to my mind it should be given not out.
As far as getting the target is concerned England have been so poor of late I am not counting any chickens just yet!

England 79-2 after 20 overs. That's half-way.
Just as I typed that they lost a third.
Now another!
And another
It's 81-5 now after 21.3 overs
RE: West Indies vs England 2014 - Jack Bishop - 02-03-2014 20:02
89-6 looks like my thoughts of a long batting line up will be tested to the full.
RE: West Indies vs England 2014 - cosmonaut - 02-03-2014 20:36
Yes tested to the full, no doubt. Bresnan is out now and England are 105/7. The captain is in next, what can he do? Out first ball! No, Broad has reviewed and the decision is overturned. England remain on 105/7 and there are 18 overs remaining.
RE: West Indies vs England 2014 - Snooks - 02-03-2014 21:39
Bopara and Broad help to scramble England over the line by 3 wickets.
Its a win and at the moment any win is a welcome one

I must have watched a different game to the Sky Sports pundits who believed Bopara should've been awarded the Man of the Match for his part in seeing England to victory.
I thought we won despite his batting & not because of it.As a senior batsman he should've taken charge,in partnership with Bresnan he took singles off the 1st ball of an over on countless occasions putting pressure on a batsmen less equipped to cope.Then he let Broad flail away looking like he could get out any ball.
