England v West Indies, 1st Test, Ageas Bowl, 8-12 July, 2020

I think choosing to bat on the first day cost us, but the game was still there to be won. Well done to Noddy, Richard Blackwood (Who da man?) and co. The Wisden Trophy will take some recovering now.

Terrific win by the good guys. Just about every player made telling contributions.

With bat, ball and in the field they showed greater intent.

Great their skipper was there at the end.

*Lardy* - Cap'n Thugwash gave me a grin.

Went to bed at Tea with just 57 needed with Blackwood and Dowrich looking solid.

Congrats to the Windies on an excellent victory.

England's mediocre 1st innings really put them behind the 8-ball. Well done to Holder and Gabriel for engineering that.

And a very good knock by Blackwood to steer the Ganjas home. He came to the wicket with the Windies in all sorts of trouble but coolly fashioned a winning innings.

The right result in the end. Bye-bye Denly and Buttler?

Good game.

Well done to the Windies, thought they had bottled it when reduced to 100/4 , but England found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Well batted by Lord Blackwood for the Windies , and good support with the ball by Sledgehammer with 9fa for the match , and Holder with a michelle in the first innings,

Was surprised they got the runs after a shaky start. Great effort!!
