Reassuring to see that England's batting seems to have lost none of its customary ineptitude! :(

Why does "England" and "collapse" appear together so often in a headline? :(

Too much white ball cricket so that old style batting skills have been lost. Sadly.

And now they have realised it, we have a relatively inexperienced top order trying to upskill themselves from county championship to test match cricket. Not much let up in the Australian bowling line up last year and this is a very good WI pace attack. Maybe not as good as the glory days but they stack up well against other attacks at the moment.

The key for this series is whoever's batting line up can cope best as the bowling is strongest for both teams.

Effectively 5-2

Openers do a decent job but cannot kick on to a century

Another horrid batting collapse :mad:

Position of strength squandered.

Need the last two wickets to add 30 plus and then bowl really well.
