1st Test, West Indies tour of England at Southampton, Jul 8-12 2020

Everton Weekes the first & only batsman to score 5 Test Hundreds in 5 consecutive inngs - passed away at the age of 95.

Fans taking about money on the England tour,

"West Indies deserve huge praise for agreeing to travel to England in the first place, especially when they will gain next to no financial reward for it given TV and sponsorship revenues in bilateral series are the prime reserve of the home board."

Who will be up at 6am to watch the game on Wednesday?

With 2 Test Victories in England from 1995 to present it's going to be difficult to knock the English men over.

Since Aug 2017 the West Indies have played 22 Test matches. Only four of those have gone to a fifth day with a whopping 10 finishing within three days.

Do not expect West Indies to go the distance in any of the three tests.

John Campbell is a really attacking opener. In his short career to date, he's attacked 29% of his deliveries, the highest proportion of any Test opener (min 5 matches) in the last 12 months.

haha. 3-0 West Indies would be amazing but realistically we don't have the consistency to win a series.

In 2/3 years we could challenge, with the youngsters coming through being more experienced by then.

West Indies may not need a team meeting any more. The logo on their shirt should galvanise them into action.

In West Indies' final warm-up game at Old Trafford, Joshua Da Silva made 133 and 56 without being dismissed. The rest of West Indies' batsmen made one half-century and 16 single-figure scores between them.

Will he make his Test debut this series?
