The match between West Indies and County Select XI has ended up in a draw. West Indies was unable to schedule a warmup match against one of the first-class teams, because all of them are busy in county championship. So they arranged a match with a team mostly made up of county second XI teams. And even in this match, they conceded the first innings lead, and failed to perform credibly

England vs West Indies, 1st Test match will be started from 10th july. Before that, there was a warn up match between FCCXI and West Indies. Both team supposed to be strong oppennt of each other. In 1st inngins, west indies started batting first and they scored 339-10, which was good amount of runs. Kirk McKenzie(73), Alick Athanaze(74) and Kavem Hodge(112) shower his legendary performance by doing century. Besides FCCXI team also did great, 373-4 runs where Hamza Shaikh(84) and William Luxton(112) Showed their best performance. In 2nd inngins l, both team played shortly to manage winning but finally the match was draw. But i found FCCXI team kore stronger than west indies.

The warm-up match we observed recently between West Indies and England team. However, this match was not played against the main England but mainly against the Fast Class Country XI (FCCXI) and the West Indies. Most of the players we have seen playing in both teams are new and may have joined the team recently. If we compare the performance between these two teams then I think Fast Class Country XI (FCCXI) has performed well.

Because they batted for 373 runs in their first innings and managed to restrict the West Indies team to very few runs in the second innings. After which when they came to bat in their second innings the match was drawn after they collected 30 runs.

The match was drawn. And you analysis about the match and you picked up FCCXI team best as compare to West Indies. So I agree with you on your thoughts because that is right that FCCXI performance was really good in this match. In the first inning of West Indies I appreciate the bowling of FCCXI especially John Turner and Farhan Ahmed. They both collected 4,4 wickets. After that the batting performance of FCCXI was admirable. Because they made 373 runs with four wickets lost and they declared. In this inning William Luxton was playing excellent and he made 112 runs(not out) and Hamza Shaikh was good who made 84 runs. Means overall FCCXI performance was good in this match.

West Indies couldn't win against a team that was comprised of a bunch of teenagers who doesn't even have first class experience. Farhan Ahmed is 16-years old and he is yet to play for any of the county teams. His only experience in domestic cricket is from playing for the Nottinghamshire 2nd XI. And the West Indian batsmen struggled against his off-spin. John Turner was the other England bowler who excelled in this match. In his case also, he is yet to play first class cricket (although he has played for Hampshire 2nd XI).

And it's a pity for both the team because all the hard work and struggle both the teams have put in will go to waste.  And that's really sad.  If seen, I am more in favor of West Indies.  That they won the match but fate and their hard work and struggle had something else in mind due to which the match was drawn.  I know the performance of West Indies which is why I am in favor of it.  If I knew the performance of CS, I would have decided by looking at the performance of both.  If this match is going to happen I am still in favor of West Indies and I hope that this time West Indies team will win the match and achieve victory.  Yes, you are true to your word, but I have no idea of their performance.  But their performance is really good so they should have won the match but they could not win the match.

England U19 vs SriLanka U19 Unofficial Test Match

England U19 team and SriLanka U19 team has played the ODI series before and now they will start unofficial test match today. If we talk about the performance of both teams so we will see that the performance of SriLanka U19 team performance was quite well in the ODI series but England U19 team was looking little bit weak. By the way this is the test match and that was the ODI series. So both are different formats so we can't say anything that which team will really Play well. But I hope that SriLanka will continue their performance.

I think England U19 will perform well in the test match. Yes that's right the Srilanka U19 team performance was good. But didn't you see how the England U19 team performed in the last match of ODI series. So I think they will continue that performance and perform well in today test match. But it is early to predict because both teams are looking strong. I am looking both teams at same level. So it is hard to say that which team will win the test match.

After a long time we will see a test match being held. Several months before the start of the Twenty20 World Cup, the teams have only worked on the T20 series for which no team has played Tests, but again this Test series is going to start with the match between England and the West Indies. England is definitely a professional team for test cricket but most of the players of West Indies are T20 specialists in that case England must be ahead.

Test playing is mainly done by experienced players who can perform at the crease for more time. Although the West Indies players are heavily favored in T20I. West Indies' performances in the T20 format have fared better than in tests. But England team is more experienced in test matches, and they are able to score a lot of runs in test matches. T20 specialist players are averse to playing Test matches, so if players who are experienced in Test matches play in the West Indies, the game against England will be frozen. Although England have the potential to win the series, West Indies will need to increase their experience in order to win the series in Test matches.

What do you mean? West Indies are not strong in test format can they not play test. You say experienced players there are many players who have played in all three formats. Test, T20 and ODI formats have different playing styles due to which each country wants different players in different formats. England and West Indies teams are recently going to host a Test series between them which will start on July 10.We can say in this series that both teams are equally strong. If you want to judge the strength of West Indies, look at West Indies' Test series against Australia which was held before the T20 World Cup. They beat Australia in that series which was a great moment for them.

Equally strong? What the heck are you talking about? You clearly don't know much about test cricket. England are extremely strong on their home grounds which is why they most probably will comfortably win against the Windies.

They are literally one of the best sides in test cricket. I don't see the Windies coming close to winning even a single match against the English in this series.

Most of the players we have seen playing in both teams are new and may have joined the team recently. If we compare the performance between these two teams then I think Fast Class Country XI (FCCXI) has performed well.

Because they batted for 373 runs in their first innings and managed to restrict the West Indies team to very few runs in the second innings. After which when they came to bat in their second innings the match was drawn after they collected 30 runs.

The match was drawn. And you analysis about the match and you picked up FCCXI team best as compare to West Indies.

In this inning William Luxton was playing excellent and he made 112 runs(not out) and Hamza Shaikh was good who made 84 runs. Means overall FCCXI performance was good in this match.

Yes very sad ending both played with full struggle and worked very hard to win this game but at end this game was drawn and no one win this game. Anyways, in test game, I surprised by effort of this team CS X1 team of England how were they playing in game and first their bowlers performed very good in 1 st Inning of WI team. WI batsman scored total 339 runs and all wickets gone and dismissed. John and Farhan both these bowlers showed brilliant effort in game and most of wickets was picked these two bowlers. Otherwise, CS X1 team made 373 runs in their 1 st Inning and trail by 34 runs. In 2 nd Inning of West indies, by losing 5 wickets and made 196 runs they ended their inning but unfortunately this game was not reach to end and game wAs drawn.

But I hope that SriLanka will continue their performance.

At this time, the test match is in progress between Sri Lanka U19 and England U19  but I think today it will not resumebecause the rain has entered into the game and now for some time the match has been stopped.

However, if we look through the score then until here the England under 19s bowlers are taking wickets back to back and just in the 17th over, the 4 wickets are down for Srilanka. However, now the rain came and it could not be good for England’s bowlers because now the pitch is hard and the ball would not swing too much as it was doing before. The best time for Sri Lanka team to come back into the game is once the rain stops.

Finally, the rain had been stopped and thanks to the ground men, we will see this match once again. After a long break due to rain, both teams has entered into the ground to play again and the over had been passed after the rain. Those were all dot balls as it is a test match therefore mostly we will just see dots and singles 

In this time, the 60th overs are remaining in the day and let’s see what will happen in these 60 overs, I think in these overs, the Sri Lankan team could be all out because as they already have lost 4 wickets and are in a lot of pressure. Mind you this is an unofficial test being played at Wormsley.

I completely agree with Haunebu. I am following test cricket for the last 2.5 decades and defeating England at home is extremely difficult even for teams like Australia and India. England has one of the best established 4-day domestic systems in the world (County Championship). The only other league which can rival it in terms of quality is the Sheffield Shield of Australia. On the other hand, 4-day cricket is more or less dead in West Indies, as the players without any exception prefer shorter formats of the game.

Yeah, Rain stopped and play continued In the first unofficial test game England U19 won the toss choice to the field. SriLanka U19 loss four early wickets in just 37 runs. England U19 bowlers AM French excellent performance took first three wickets and putt all pressure on the Srilanka U19 batsmen. Srilinka U19 team current score is 79 by losing his four quick wickets but the partnership between Mahith Perera and Dinura Kalupahana help Srilinka U19 team to score a competitive total in first inning of test match. England U19 team trying well to All out on the first day but they need to break this partnership first otherwise Srilinka U19 posted a big total on board. Now 55 over is remaining in the first day and I don't think the SriLinka U19 team will survive on 1st day of the test game.

The match was drawn. And you analysis about the match and you picked up FCCXI team best as compare to West Indies. So I agree with you on your thoughts because that is right that FCCXI performance was really good in this match. In the first inning of West Indies I appreciate the bowling of FCCXI especially John Turner and Farhan Ahmed. They both collected 4,4 wickets. After that the batting performance of FCCXI was admirable. Because they made 373 runs with four wickets lost and they declared. In this inning William Luxton was playing excellent and he made 112 runs(not out) and Hamza Shaikh was good who made 84 runs. Means overall FCCXI performance was good in this match.

West Indies couldn't win against a team that was comprised of a bunch of teenagers who doesn't even have first class experience. Farhan Ahmed is 16-years old and he is yet to play for any of the county teams. His only experience in domestic cricket is from playing for the Nottinghamshire 2nd XI. And the West Indian batsmen struggled against his off-spin. John Turner was the other England bowler who excelled in this match. In his case also, he is yet to play first class cricket (although he has played for Hampshire 2nd XI).

Peoples were expecting some good performance from the West Indies, but their tour match was completely ruined by the teenagers of the English counties which is surely having signals how things are going for them in this tour which is never been easy for the weaker teams as England is also trying to fight back after having poor tour of India which ended with the score of 4–1 in favour of India.

Even things are going without any problem, but now I have feeling few weaker teams like West Indies, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe needs to stop playing test matches and having work only on T20i format which is surely going to be profitable for them and others also because we are having no chance of development for them now in this format.

[noormcs5]

After a long time we will see a test match being held. Several months before the start of the Twenty20 World Cup, the teams have only worked on the T20 series for which no team has played Tests, but again this Test series is going to start with the match between England and the West Indies. England is definitely a professional team for test cricket but most of the players of West Indies are T20 specialists in that case England must be ahead.

Now, West Indies is ready to go to England to win the series, after two days. I say this because the current England form is not good (seeing the T20 World Cup) even though I  know that it is hard to beat England on their home ground.

We will have a very amazing test series between England and West Indies, it will be a battle between bat and bowl. In this series, we will see the three test matches and then the West Indies team shall be back to their home in August.

I am just excited to see James Anderson because he is only playing in test matches and not in other formats of cricket. Also, his age is near to retie but he is still playing. He is 42 or even more, older than Shoaib Malik and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. By the way, yesterday Ms Dhoni turned 43.

[fullhdpixel]

Finally, the rain had been stopped and thanks to the ground men, we will see this match once again. After a long break due to rain, both teams has entered into the ground to play again and the over had been passed after the rain. Those were all dot balls as it is a test match therefore mostly we will just see dots and singles 

In this time, the 60th overs are remaining in the day and let’s see what will happen in these 60 overs, I think in these overs, the Sri Lankan team could be all out because as they already have lost 4 wickets and are in a lot of pressure. Mind you this is an unofficial test being played at Wormsley.

We are having another delay due to rain as right now after 42.4 overs we are having 177 runs for the lost of 5 wickets which is good fightback from the Sri Lankan youngster after having 37 for 4 in these tricky conditions Dinura Kalupahana playing on 70 and Diniru Abeywickramasingha 35 we are having second good partnership after early collapse things were looking not favorable for the visitors we are having good skills and quality from the Sri Lankan captain Dinura Kalupahana who is leading from the front in this game.

Most chances now we will have end of the day on these figures because time is also ended for the first day play English bowlers are having good use of these conditions and take early wickets which helps them for keeping pressure on Sri Lankan batting, but they are also doing good resistance, and we are having good game between these youngsters from Sri Lanka and England at the Wormsley, hopefully tomorrow we will have better time of play without rain.

[Compromise me]

At this time, the test match is in progress between Sri Lanka U19 and England U19  but I think today it will not resumebecause the rain has entered into the game and now for some time the match has been stopped.

However, if we look through the score then until here the England under 19s bowlers are taking wickets back to back and just in the 17th over, the 4 wickets are down for Srilanka. However, now the rain came and it could not be good for England’s bowlers because now the pitch is hard and the ball would not swing too much as it was doing before. The best time for Sri Lanka team to come back into the game is once the rain stops.

The first day of test match ended and Sri Lankan U19 is in good condition . After the rain Sri Lankan U19 team played well and  they built good partnership.  Dinura captain and second Dinura are present on the crease and they are playing well and they are looking in good form and they can make match interesting. From the start Sri Lankan batters gave wickets easily and after the rain stop there were less swing in the ball and Sri Lankan batters use the pace and ball were not spinning after the rain. Dinura captain is not our at the score of 70 runs  and they avoided the team from losing the match because team was in difficult situations and luck was also to the side of Sri Lanka.
