Permaul in Bishoo out

Jerome Taylor is expected to return, Kemar Roach is likely to make way after five wickets at 53 in the series so far. West Indies played two spinners at this ground in their last Test but have not brought Sulieman Benn back into their squad. Instead they have brought in Veerasammy Permaul, also a left-armer, and he may play because Devendra Bishoo has cut his spinning finger from over-bowling.

West Indies (possible) 1 Kraigg Brathwaite, 2 Devon Smith, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 6 Jermaine Blackwood, 7 Denesh Ramdin (capt/wk), 8 Jason Holder, 9 Jerome Taylor, 10 Shannon Gabriel, 11 Veerasammy Permaul

Ben Stokes has a sore back and could miss out. Liam Plunkett or Mark Wood could add pace to the attack, while Adil Rashid, the legspinning allrounder, could be considered having been prevented from returning to county cricket. Stuart Broad's place may also be vulnerable. Ian Bell hurt a finger and didn't train the day before the game but is expected to play. After only one convincing innings from four knocks, England could decide that their decision to recall Jonathan Trott was hasty and hand Adam Lyth, the specialist opener, a Test debut.

England (possible): 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Jonathan Trott, 3 Gary Ballance, 4 Ian Bell, 5 Joe Root, 6 Moeen Ali, 7 Jos Buttler (wkt), 8 Adil Rashid, 9 Chris Jordan, 10 Stuart Broad, 11 James Anderson.

another testament to the absolute decayed and declined state of west indies cricket and its administration if deh name dat side.  the selectors insist on pikin' sides that are bound to lose..and not only lose but loose in ignominy, and injury

this is laffin matters...so contemptible is a man like Lloyd wasting away whats left of the west indies for his knighthood

this batting side cant score more than 300 runs.  Smiff is little..Samules is litte again..so is Blackwood. there are 2 batsmen in that side who may score...Darren and Paint.  the english would do well to focus on those 2 and let the rest fall away as they are wont, on their own

it made sense to introduce Hope. he is inexperienced but Devon is a dope and a blight.  watch some strange sh!t happen again with him and he looses his wicket fuh nutten. 

inexperienced Hope has potential. Devon has none.

if no rain england wins this inside 4 days

and indeed..no matter who deh pik!

hahahahaha : 1 Guyana spinner per TEST

too funnneee ...

Well let's see how Permaul performs in this match. What happen to Miller? Why isn't he been given a chance in the test team? Sad to see Bishoo out anyways.

31.4
Permaul to Root, OUT, back to force into the covers again and nicks it behind! Thin edge to Ramdin. Slightly back of a length ball,

Root rocked back to nudge it away from a foot outside off but got a little edge as it turned away and Ramdin held on well.

A wicket totally out of the blue

Root c †Ramdin b Permaul  33 (35b 5x4 0x6) SR: 94.28
