Bashir now has 3, 5 wicket hauls in just 5 tests. Not bad for a Somerset loanee.

Bashir has been superb - good to see the West Indies spun out.

What an astonishing collapse on this pitch from 61-0 to 129-9
I was expecting this to last at least halfway to tomorrow. Some good bowling in this evening session.

Root goes past Chanderpaul into 8th place in the Test leading run scorers list.
7th is Lara about 80 0dd runs away
Not sure if he has got the time to get another 4,000 to top Tendulkar given he is 34 in December but will most likely finish second
Saw the other day that Stokes with 6,000 Test runs & 200 wickets is now in a group of 3 with those numbers .... with Sobers & Kallis
All in an era where Anderson & Broad have taken over 1,300 Test wickets

Woakes will be 36 when the Ashes starts and Wood will turn 36 in the January it finishes
Anderson is fitter than both of them
No wonder Anderson is so furious with the disrespectful Kiwi 'brains' trust

COYI - spot on about Anderson. Even when not taking wickets, he builds pressure that enables others to get wickets. None of that here. If you look at the 12 the Surrey bloke git at lords, not too many conventional fast bowlers dismissals there, a lot of loose shots caused by pressure. As for Bashir, Somerset see him and leach every day.. leach is their number one spinner and Bashir is out on loan.
50 partnership up for the 10th wicket. I remember when having fields spread for a 10th wicket partnership was the source of much wailing on here. Seems times have changed.

Never understand this idea of when you have a middle order player with the number 11 you put everyone on the boundary & treat the middle order bloke as if he is BRADMAN
Normal field & try and get him out
Or you end up with a shit show like this where Da Silva tees off and Joseph is showering the England fans with roof tiles

Find all this 'great effort' stuff quite patronising, and I'm sure they do too. In truth, England left at least 100 runs out there in perfect batting conditions with utterly atrocious shots from root, brook, stokes and Smith which would have created more scoreboard pressure.
Given that pope was also dropped repeatedly, it could have been even worse. It may or may not matter against this opposition, but the approach has failed to put away any decent sides from positions of strength for some time which is why we came into this series bottom of the WTC.

First bowling innings since Anderson's enforced retirement and we steuggle to bowl West Indies out and allow them to get over 400 and a lead.
Makes rhe decision to force Anderson to retiee ecen more insane.
Key is an idiot.

Major error by the white West Indian
Needs to hit some more boundaries and get England batting under the lights
Best bowling conditions of the match .... and Wood bowling to the last pair with the field on the boundary. BAZBALL = YAWNBALL

Great effort by the Windies yesterday. Certainly showed more bottle against Wood, than the rabbits in headlights, Australians did against him, last summer.

West Indies a little bit better but threw away a couple of wickets with brainless shots
Need to make 300+ to make a competitive Test out of this but cant see it
Wood bowling at 97mph

Understand Middlesex are also talking about leaving Lords altogether because:
1. Costs
and presumably
2. The behaviour of the feral MCC members

Middlesex :
Following the backlash against the news, the club issued further information on the reasoning behind its decision today (November 24).
“It is clear from the response to that announcement, from the many comments made by members on social media, and from those members who have contacted the Club directly, that we need to offer further clarity on the rationale for this decision to provide members with more insight and a greater understanding of why this difficult decision has been made,” read a media release from the club.
“First and foremost, we understand the initial reaction from members – as at face value, the logic of Middlesex playing two ‘home’ matches at the ground of another county seems is difficult to understand. Members have our assurance that this decision has not been taken lightly, and there are several reasons why we have had to do so – most importantly to ensure the financial stability of the Club moving forwards.”
Middlesex were handed a £50,000 fine and a suspended points deduction by the ECB in September this year for breaching the board’s financial rules. The charges alleged that the club had spent money allocated for youth and grassroots cricket on their professional set-up at Lord’s. There has been an ongoing probe by the ECB into Middlesex’s finances over the last several months, with alleged financial irregularities going back several years in the club’s accounts.
The statement from Middlesex clarified that the club will receive a share of the gate revenue from both matches held in Essex and a share of the hospitality revenue. “Essentially, playing at Chelmsford instead of an out-ground club ground already saves the Club a significant sum on the costs of setting up the game,” read the statement. “When potential revenue from gate receipts and hospitality are factored in, the Club stands to potentially be making a financial upturn of six figures plus.”
Unlike all other counties, Middlesex do not own their main ground, with the MCC the landlords of Lord’s. As well as hampering their finances, this also means they do not have unfettered access to the ground. They explained that, with the dates of the Blast games for which they had to seek alternative venues spread apart, they would have had to set up at an outground three times, making the expense prohibitive. Their one fixture at Radlett is followed by a Charlotte Edwards Cup game for Middlesex Women, allowing them to spread the cost of hosting across the two days.
The statement also clarified that Middlesex members will be able to access the match free as part of their membership, and that Essex members will have to pay for tickets to the games, and won’t be able to access the pavilion and other Middlesex-only areas during the fixture.

I see that Middlesucks are playing Glolcester at Chelmsford, why is that? Lords being used for something?

Trent Bridge forecast for Thursday on is similar to Lords .... Cloudy and low 20's for the first three days & a bit sunnier for days 4 & 5 (if required)
Australia name squads for the t20 & ODI tour of Scotland & England in Sept. 3 t20's in each & 5 ODI's v England
Cummins not coming at all, Starc & Maxwell just for the ODI's
Lots of young players like Jake Fraser-McGurk & Cooper Connolly. Good selection
