Batting the big question mark for WI...

The expectation is that England will win the series and that West Indies will be less of a challenge than South Africa. The tour manager, Joel Garner, has warned us not to underestimate his team and it has never been a great idea to argue with this genial giant. But he is bound to say that.

The sources of optimism for West Indian fans are limited but they do exist. The last time these two sides met in Bridgetown, Barbados, in May 2015 West Indies won by five wickets to square the series. Five from that side are likely to be in action on Thursday at Edgbaston (compared to England’s six from two years ago).


They will have the fastest bowlers on show at Edgbaston, but a new batting star will need to emerge if the tourists are going to find the runs to put England under pressure

Think Vic Marks is commenting on what he's seen on the tour so far...especially the first two practice games.
