England vs West Indies: who will win? Reviews

hi i think that the chances of england winning are quite high , england has not been playing to the best of its potential for the last 3 4 months and they want to bounce back really hard and they now have the best oppurtunity because windies have not been consistent , as there strike bowlers have retired their only power coud have ...

I think the deciding factor for this test (presuming the weather doesn't intervene) is likely to be the W Indies temperment. They have had a hard tour where some players have failed to perform, the pitches for the tests have been poor and England have not only battled well but, unusually for them, have tended to pick their best team. ...

I think this summer's series with the Windies will end in a draw. With two tests left, I think it is too much of a lottery as to which team will come out on top in a session, let alone a test match or a series. The West Indies are a team in decline, relying on two ageing stars to bowl a team out, and England are a team that ...

Both teams have had a month long break from Test cricket whilst the triangular series has been going on. Due to this the players will be slightly rusty in the long form of the game as they have just been playing one-dayers. In this particular respect England do have a slight advantage in that not all their test side have been playing with the ...

Finally England look like a side capable of beating the worldclass teams in this world, and finally have picked the right squad. The selectors seem to have finally got it through to their heads that just because certain players can look to take the county circuit to pieces does not mean they are classy enough to play the top level of cricket. ...

Third Test England need to make some changes to keep up their improvement. Trescothick Atherton Vaughn Hussain Stewart Thorpe White Swann or Schofield Caddick Gough Mullalley We need to produce a balanced attack. I would like to see England develop and persevere with a spinner. Both ...

At times a team can get by at a one-day level, occasionally showing capability and composure, but not have the self confidence to take it to a test match as we've had the disappointment of watching for 5 years. The other way round is much more rare and the Windies were not good during the triangular series. Moreover they crumbled like they ...

ignoring the jubilation of the previous test match, the stark truth is that england have played nothing but poor cricket, excluding a few good sessions from gough and caddick. The west indies side is a very poor side indeed, with the likes of gayle, griffith and hinds' techniques being badly exposed against quality bowling. Once again ...

West Indies came to England with everyone saying that they were a team in turmoil. This was England's best chance to take a series win over them in years. Hadn't we discovered a bit of form and confidence by the crushing series win over the mighty Zimbabwe? Well yes, this was to be out year. But things have not gone according to ...

England will win the test series. The West Indians have many weaknesses, an over-reliance on Walsh and Ambrose, a lack of depth in the squad, and they are three batsmen light in the batting order. Their captain, Adams, is learning but appears to have many of the leadership skills required to be a good captain. In truth, the experience of the West ...

without that dreadful batting collapse of the windies and a bit of good luck well maybe a bit of good bowling from caddick, gough and cork we would have been blown away and once again we would have seen the same old story of an english loss. if the windies had of gained a reasonable score of around 200 then there is no doubt in my mind that we ...

England win a test match and everyone starts proclaiming that we will now go on to win the series. Now, forgive me if I sound a bit pessimistic but I doubt very much if England will ever get anywhere near to repeating the feat of bowling the Windies out for just 54. I think there is little doubt that the Windies batting is inconsistent but ...

1-0 down in the series, bowled out for 130, they led by over a hundred runs, the match and, in all probability, the series was lost. WHAT A COMEBACK. England knock them down and take the game to tie the series. Who would have thought. With 4 matches left in this 6 match series, England have the heads up, who's to say we can't win. ...

Yesterday, England probably bowled the best I have ever seen them bowl. It was great fun to watch, it was very exciting, and enjoyable as the West Indies slumped to only 54. England now do have a great chance to win this match, but I think Walsh and Akmbrose will relish the chance to play on the wicket, as last night, with the new ball, they got ...

What a joy to watch! The second day of the second test has just ended and it was superb. If only England can continue in this vein for the rest of the summer. After a promising first ball dissmissal of Walsh the customary collapse of the England innings was depressingly familliar. I got home from work in time to see the magnificent display ...

The West Indies, beset by internal wrangles and being carried on the shoulders of their two old warriors, Ambrose and Walsh, looked a prime target for England's rejuvenated team this Summer. Unfortunately, the script that Duncan Fletcher and Nasser Hussain wrote had to be ripped up after only one test match, when England succumbed to a ...

After a dismal performance by england, the whole team is a disgraced. They lost by an innings and 93 runs and put up a terrible performance. On a good batting pitch the team put up no resistant agianst a ageing attack of Walsh and Ambrose. The experience in the team counted for nothing, from atherton to stewart their was no team spirit, ...

There is still a chance for England to turn around the summer of Cricket all we have to do is put in a good performance in the upcoming secong test at Lord's against the West Indies. With the experience of Alec Stewart and the reliable Mike Atherton, there is also the promissing young talent of Micheal Vaughn aswell as a return for the pace ...
