West Indies vs England Test Match on 18 July

Only two days are left and the next Test Match between West Indies and England will be played on 18 July. And I hope West Indies will improve and will perform better as compare to the previous match. But here England team is looking still stronger because they won the last match with one inning. If England will continue their performance so I am sure that England will win this test match too. If West Indies need to win this match so they should practice more and they should try to find the weak points of England and they should focus on it to beat England.

Yes you are right England is really a strong team who has won the last match against West Indies team. And the surprising thing was that they that match with playing only one inning. But West Indies was not able to beat them in their 2 innings. But I think in the next match West Indies will try their best and will perform well to win the second test match.
England is a strong team but West Indies also can make a good comeback and they can take revenge of the first match. I really hope that West Indies will enter in the field with better performance.

No matter how much they practice, two days are way to less for a team like West Indies to come at a level of the team like England and give them tough competition.  West Indies lost the first test by an innings , so we know how weak is their team.
However it is normal that we get good vibes from the dressing room of the teams that their team is ready to take on the next challenge.

Look what their coach Andre Coley says about the West Indies team

"They would've taken a lot of positives from that," Coley said on Monday, when asked about the Gabba Test. "In terms of how we were able to bounce back, the process that we went through to be able to do that I believe is a lot more powerful [than the result].

Yeah, they took a lot of positive from the first test and they may take a lot of positivity from the 2nd test but I am sure they will lose the 2nd test too.

West Indies recently won a test match against Australia in Brisbane, so we can't say West Indies is a weak test side. In first test against England, performance of West Indies was like an associate team and they need to play better cricket in next matches to make sure there test status remain intact. Shamar Joseph who was man of the series against Australia remain wicket less in first test. Moreover West Indies batting was also not able to make 150 in both innings and that's something alarming for there batting.

The England team is as strong as ever at home in the Test format, which they proved once again through the first Test match between the West Indies.The West Indies team has performed poorly in everything, be it batting or bowling.

With two more Test matches left in the series, the West Indies should take a good look at where they have gone wrong at this stage. From there they have to learn even try their best in the next match to improve themselves. If they recover from their mistakes, West Indies may be able to put up a competitive fight against England in the second Test match. In the first Test match between West Indies and England, West Indies batted for two innings but they could not maintain their batting accuracy. As a result they did not score many runs but England are already ahead after winning the first test match with a brilliant batting performance.

How about the England Under 19 team and will they be able to the Sri Lanka Under 19 team ?

Today is the second 2nd unofficial Test match between Sri Lanka under 19 and England under 19 team which is playing at Cheltenham.

There is a not good news for the Sri Lankan under 19s team because they lost their one important wicket in the third over but now I hope the next batsmen who comes to bat is Sharujan Shanmuganathan will play well. Sharujan Shanmuganathan is also an amazing player.
But the match is too long just have to focus much so don’t lose more wickets. I am sure if this time anyone of them loses their wicket then understand in this innings, the Sri Lanka team had been gone and will out early.

The England U19 bowlers are on fire. In the second over, they picked a wicket and now at a time, they picked once again but in review it was nothing. They are putting too much pressure towards the Sri Lankan under 19 team. This time, Thisara Ekanayake  and Sharujan Shanmuganathan must have to try to hit a few boundaries because then it will help to calm down the situation and the new batsman also motivates with those quick runs. As I was wishing Sharujan Shanmuganathan hit the four and now Thisara Ekanayake also have to try for this and try to do the copy of Sharujan Shanmuganathan.

i really wonder how England Team won the 1st test match by an innings and 114 runs against west indies. I knew that england is going to win but didn't thought that they would win without playing another inngins lol.
2nd test is going to start soon but England team is very much stronger than west indies, in batting and bowling both side. But have you noticed england bowler Gus Atkinson? I wonder how he bowled, he got total 12 wickets alone. I doubt, west indies has more possibility to lost upcoming all matches lol. Now its the main fact to see, how west indies fight against England in their next test match

This isn't surprising at all. Most people including me expected England to decimate West Indies in this particular series which is exactly what is happening. Punters made easy money by betting on England in the first test.

I doubt, west indies has more possibility to lost upcoming all matches lol. Now its the main fact to see, how west indies fight against England in their next test match

Betting on England in the remaining tests are pretty much sure bets too though it's best to only invest what you are willing to lose.

We all know that West Indian cricket is not for the test matches and they could not play test matches because they are hitters and tgey don't like to stay on Wicket but test cricket is a game of patience and West Indian all players are impatient and they have impatiene in their blood.

West Indian team should play with patience if they want to level this series and they want to get respect in this series. Their performance was bad in last World Cup and after that made 257 runs in two innings and England team played only inning and they won the match easily by high margin. That is unexpected result by England bowlers because we saw least bowling of that type.England International team will win next match easily and now we have Idea of both team strength and weaknesses.

Sri Lanka Under 19s - England Under 19s

It cannot be said that West Indies will change their perform.  Because if there was a change they could gradually bring it to their team.  But nothing like that can be seen in them.  And the team is not strong enough to improve itself at once.  Yes England are look themselves in good form and are trying to win the match and they have won the match.  If it is against the West Indies it is difficult to say that the West Indies will win.  Because West Indies cannot match their perform and win the match.  According to my predict England will definitely win this match because Sri Lanka perform is good but not equal to England.  Therefore it is difficult for Sri Lanka to win. West Indies need to perform well in themselves.  If they lose to England if they keep their perform like that they can become a strong team.

Sri Lanka Under 19s - England Under 19s

If we take a look on overall performance so we will see that Sri Lanka U19 team is looking better but we can't underestimate the England U19 team too. The last unofficial Test match which they played was drawn due to the rain. I hope now the rain will not interfere and we will see that whole performance of both teams. According to the current situation and the first day progress is saying that Sri Lanka is looking much weaker in their first inning and they made only 153 runs. And England has made 73 runs in 17 overs and they have lost one wicket so the situation is saying that England U19 team will win this match easily.

Basically if there would be no rain in the last match so I was sure that England U19 won that test easily. But unfortunately the rain lead that match to draw.
Well in this unofficial test which just started yesterday England U19 team played really well especially they were excellent in bowling Because Sri Lankan U19 team made only 153 runs with all team out. Today is the second day. And If England U19 team will give a lead of 200+ runs so I think there will be 80% chances of England U19 win. But it is too early too say. Let's see what they will do today.?

Since this is a test match  so we should not conclude the winner so early. However i agree that England U19 team are in a better position in this match. They have made already half of the runs (73 to be exact) of what Sri Lanka U19 made in their first innings (153). Jaydn Denly is looking good at 57 runs and they still have 9 wickets remaining with them.

In the first test match. the performance by the Sri Lankan U19 boys were a lot better and if it didn't rain, they would have won the first test match. But here in this test match, the Sri Lanka teams looks in a pressure. They need to quickly take wickets today in order to bounce back in the game.

[Haunebu]

England vs West Indies 2nd test will commence tomorrow and it looks like Mark Wood will be replacing Anderson who retired officially from all formats of the game. Wood, Woakes and Atkinson is a great combo against the Windies.

England will win this one comfortably too, but I am not expecting them to win by an innings this time around. Let's see what happens.

England Under 19 team is performing well in test match and  Sri Lankan U19 team played very bad and made very low score in first inning and they made only 153 runs and all team out by making only 153 runs.  Now  England U19 team is batting well and  two set betters are present on the crease .  Jaydn  Denly is not out on 69 runs by facing 89 balls and England batters are playing very fast and I think they will win this match easily because they have 9 wickets in the hand and they need only 41 runs to equal tge score on board. Naavya Sharma played excellent and took 5 wickets in first  inning and he was top performer of first inning . Harry also took 2 wickets and he also performed well in this match. Gayana  made 77 runs in 111 balls and he was the only person who performed well from Sri Lanka U19 team .

England's Under 19 team is in full control of this test match. They are on 27 runs lead and still only lost two wickets. Jaydn Denly played a brilliant inning's but sadly he could not complete his century and was out on 91 runs. Keshana Fonseka is batting on 65 and he must be eyeing at 100 runs.

Now, the big question is when should England declare this innings and how much runs lead would be enough for them. They should give themselves enough time to bowl out Sri lanka team even if they resist. Maybe they can play fast and declare the innings one hour before the end of day's play to get one or two wickets of Sri Lanka.

In the first Test of the three-match Test series, West Indies lost by a series margin to England and in that match we saw the five-day game come to an end before just three days were over. West Indies batsmen could not stand up against England bowlers on the other hand West Indies bowlers could not bowl well against England batsmen resulting in a big defeat. The two teams will again face each other to play the second Test match of the series on 18th. I will put England ahead in the second test as well and there is a possibility of England winning the second test by a big margin. The West Indies cricketers must be patient enough in the second Test match if they rush too much then the same result as the first Test match can be repeated in the second Test match.

IMO, unless there is rain interruption England is going to sweep the series 3-0 and each of the matches will be won by them with a big margin. For West Indies, the biggest challenge remains facing the England seamers. Although Anderson is gone, they need to deal with Mark Wood, Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson. And Atkinson nabbed 12 wickets in the first test and the West Indian batsmen were completely clueless against him. The only one who got a score of more than 30 in the first test was tailender Gudakesh Motie.

Yeah, second test match of the series is going to start tomorrow at the Nottingham where weather is looking not ideal even we all know England conditions sometime partially rain having no disturbance but if we have against first inning for West Indies then things can go like we have in first test.

Now after two decades we are heading for the new era in England cricket they are going to play without their legendary bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Brad who were giving them impressive performance at home for the years hopefully new generation fast bowlers will keep their spirit and also have success like them their all youngsters are having good experience of bowling from their counties who will help them for leading from front.
