Farce of a test match really.

Could be only the 17th time ever the top 3 openers in a test get tons. would be the 4th time England have done it

[HalloweenJack]

Which test side was better?

Aussie team late 90s early 00s is the only team that could be put in the mix. It would have been a great series between the two. Played in English conditions, would slightly favour the West Indies, but it’s certainly not a given they would win.

Better to consider it in Australian or West Indies conditions
The latter of which good luck

I think the home team would be favourite in either series. If I had to pick a mixed West Indies side from the 80s against the Aussies from late 90s early 00s without thinking I would guess there would be more West Indies players.

Randall’s favourite Zak Crawley is nearing a century against Zimbabwe.

Flat track bully of poor bowlers

Tbf he had a good series against the Aussies, but I think they could have looked at someone else to partner ‘Ducketty’

1 innings every 12 months doesn't cut mustard

You are right, so I’m dropping Lloyd and putting in Hayden.

[Randall]

I'd probably have Taylor over hayden and Lloyd as captain rather than waugh
I know he was later but I'd have curtly for mcgrath as well

Hayden’s and Waugh’s stats are far superior to those of Taylor and Lloyd and you cannot have a team without McGrath.

I could

[tungsten tossers]

England get some batting practise against Zimbabwe

498-3 off 88 overs

[Randall]

Crawley can't be given more chances against good teams off the back of this

[Dfc180]

He will

Prepare to be disappointed Randall.

[Randall]

My life is one endless disappointment

[HalloweenJack]

My life is one endless disappointment

I’m sure Crawley’s century made it slightly less disappointing

"Bring back John Emburey and 1.6 runs an over", he bellowed

[Randall]

Emburey was an off spinner
