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.

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
Quote
"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.  Smiley

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.

WTC now having third season with first two finalist India is having favourable chance for going into third final as well with Australia is the strong candidate for their opponent because we have no other team which can give them any resistance in this format with their quality and performance now we have these big threes in complete control.

Test cricket has become lop-sided as of now. Previously at least 6-7 countries were there who could compete at the top-most level. But now, teams like New Zealand and Sri Lanka have declined and the gap between pig-3 and the rest have widened. South Africa could still offer some challenge to teams like India and Australia, but they are facing issues related to race-based selection and continued exodus of white players. Pakistan is another team that can compete, but they face an entirely different set of challenges.

Now, In both the next two test matches must be won by West Indies team otherwise, they will lose this series and chances to be out from the World Test Championship.
West Indian batting is currently having no depth for playing in these conditions which are usually never been easy for the batsmen from outside SENA countries and after watching their performance in this first game I have no chance for them to fight back and win any game because their batsmen completely fail to give any reply of English bowlers line and length bowling which is surely problem for them even their bowling is having some lifeline, but batting is at his worst just because of this I am having strong feeling most chances we will be having 3–0 for the England in this series if we have no rain in any game and having any hope of West Indian win is looking not realistic.

WTC now having third season with first two finalist India is having favourable chance for going into third final as well with Australia is the strong candidate for their opponent because we have no other team which can give them any resistance in this format with their quality and performance now we have these big threes in complete control.

Mr.Anderson ended up picking up 4 wickets from the entire match and barely missed 5 wickets which would have been better just like how Broad retired before. He dropped an easy catch by Moti unluckily.

Also, Atkinson ended up taking 12 wickets from both innings which is seriously amazing stuff. Great stuff England!
James Anderson had many records in front of him that he could have broken and set new records if he wanted to but he proved that he should retire to stay in form. He had a chance to break Sachin Tendulkar's record for most number of Test matches but he didn't focus on that and instead decided to retire after playing his first T20I against the West Indies. The contribution of this cricketer for the England team is huge especially in every test match he was in the team as an auto choice and he is one of the highest wicket takers among Englishmen in test cricket. The great bowling of this legendary player will definitely be missed in Test cricket especially in the Ashes series.

I have mixed feelings when it comes to Angus Atkinson's performance. He had a dream debut, but at the same time he denied Jimmy's chance to go beyond Shane Warne. Jimmy ended up with 704 test wickets, when compared to 708 for Warne. I really don't understand these clown ECB selectors. Pricks should have allowed him at least one more match, so that he can go past Shane. It is a shame that decades of hard work is ignored because of ego issues within the selection panel.
Of course he did well but it meant Jimmy could not break Shane Warne record. It is crazy that people in charge didn't give Jimmy one more game to achieve this. Jimmy worked hard for years and it is unfair that he was denied this chance. It seems like the people making decisions put their own feelings and biases ahead of recognizing Jimmy accomplishments. This decision is a shame and shows how short sighted sports management can be. ECB should give him a chance to Play in the rest of the test matches with West Indies and I am sure he will break that record easily.

Anyway, he is not going to come out of retirement. What surprised me is that everyone seemed to be OK with it. Anderson was just 4 wickets behind Shane, and if he was given one more game then he could have gone past him. But ECB had other plans in their mind. I am not sure whether this is the right way to treat one of the legends. The same happened with Shivnarine Chanderpaul as well. He was asked to retire by the WICB, as he was very close to overtaking Brian Lara as the West Indian player with most test runs.

England had a wonderful win against the West Indies IN the Lord's Test. Although it's Anderson last test match Atkinson brings the spotlight himself. Atkinson took seven wickets in the first innings. Anderson took three wickets. West Indies all out just 121 in their first innings. On target, England scored 371 runs. Behind 251 runs West Indies started to bat their 2nd innings and they also all out just 136 runs as a result West Indies lost their first test innings and 114 runs. Atkinson took 12 wickets. Anderson finishes his memorable test career in this test match. to take 704 wickets.
As I expected England performed just like that. I was thinking that England will not play the second Inning and will win the match. On the second day the West Indies has the trail of 171 runs and the lost 6 wickets. So we can't expect a win at that time because the West Indies team was looking much weaker. So West Indies was trying to give a lead to England but unfortunately they lost the match by 115 runs. Well played England team. Congratulations to you on this win.

Now, In both the next two test matches must be won by West Indies team otherwise, they will lose this series and chances to be out from the World Test Championship.


Talking about the World Test Championship, In 2021, when there was the first season of the test championship, then that time the final match was played between India and New Zealand but India lost it. However in 2023, India got another final to play but against Australia and once again the Indian team lost to it but let’s see this time, who will win this. At this time, India and Australia are on the top, I think once again both teams will play the final match together.

Mikyle Louis was the important wicket for the team of West Indies but this time, he was facing to Ben Stokes, and he gave the ball on the out side mid-off, he had to bat it for no run because at that time, if they would play in a defensive mood then I am sure, today they would be in the loss of five wickets but hopefully they will change their mistakes in the next upcoming test match. However, he touched the ball and the ball took an edge, it went through the keeper, and an easy catch and easy out for England but hard for the West Indies team.



The point here is that he is an opener and when the opener will not take responsibility then how can we expect batsmen to follow to play calmly in a test match.

Basically we have seen that England didn't lose their grip on the match. On the first day they bowled really and West Indies made only 121 runs and all team got out. After that England played their turn and they made 371 runs. Means England has the lead of 250 runs. In the second inning West Indies again performed not good. And they only made 136 runs. So England won by 114 runs. In this match the player of the match is Gus Atkinson he collected 12 wickets in both innings. In the first inning he collected 7 wickets and in second 5. I really appreciate his performance and I will say that England won this match due to him.

However, James Anderson has spent so much of his career in Test cricket that he announced his retirement with today's match. He played 350 innings in 188 Test matches and eventually retired with 704 wickets. In 188 Tests, James Anderson took four wickets 32 times and five wickets 32 times and ten wickets three times. James Anderson collected four wickets in today's final Test. James Anderson is one of the top 5 bowlers in England. His place will be irreplaceable in England's Test cricket.
James Anderson has long led England's bowling lineup. Honestly he is a legendary bowler for England. Many of his contemporaries have retired from the game a long time ago while he has remained fit and played for England. His Test career is colorful compared to other formats, he has taken most wickets in this format. He has taken 991 wickets throughout his career in Test ODI and T20 format combined.

James Anderson will retire from the England team, we have been hearing such rumors for a long time, finally he announced his retirement after the Test match against the West Indies.

It was a great ending of James Anderson test career. He wasn't the top bowlers of this match, but his contribution was really important. He has taken some important wickets in the second innings. Anyway, Gus Atkinson was pretty good there in his debut match. I have seen a lot of youngsters to do good in their debut match. Hopefully, he will be able to keep his form.

Talking about the wickets, the first player of West Indies team Kraigg Brathwaite out by the most famous name James Anderson, he gave ball onto the inside from outside, in short, he gave the ball inswing however before that wicket the last ball, he also gave ball like this but that time, he was giving out swing ball but this time, he used same trick but with some changes, from outswing to inswing and just like this their captain Kraigg Brathwaite out once again.
Their captain has not performed well for too much time and that is not good, it think there are more better options for West Indies when it comes to choosing the captain.
Today we are having impressive bowling from the young debutant Gus Atkinson who took 12 wickets on his debut and James Anderson and his historic career on high note with his retirement now we have end of an era in fast bowling who dominate the game and having historic achievements which surely he deserves due to his fitness and skills in fast bowling now we will have no bowler like him in this format for the long time.

West Indies bundled out on 257 runs in both innings and England won this game with the huge margin of an inning and 114 runs which is surely shameful performance from them matches like these are going to hurt test format, and surely we will have no one going to watch them as well hopefully in near future we will have some good decisions by the ICC which will bring some good entertainment and things will be also positive for the game and fans as well.

West Indies still have 162 runs left to meet England's target but they are short of wickets. West Indies may not be able to match the lead given by England in today's match, as they have lost seven wickets already, which has put their team under a lot of pressure. At the moment, West Indies have collected only 88 runs, their runs are very less and with this bad batting performance, they will never be able to match England. To face England, West Indies must perform well in batting and improve their game otherwise they will lose the Test series against England.

The first test match has been over between England and West Indies, this match won by England. It was such a great first test match victory, I think England own players can’t even imagine this type of wonderful victory. England won by an innings and 114 runs.

https://i.ibb.co/3cmpDfn/england.png

At the first innings of West Indies, they made one hundred and twenty one while on their second innings, they made one hundred and thirty six. This England bowling line up is on peak, what a bowling line up it is, Ben Stokes, James Anderson, Gus Atkinson, and the last who don’t have much effort but the part of a team and good decision for defense is Chris Woakes. These four bowlers out the West Indies full team twice in this test.
Yes England cannot imagine this victory.  If seen the competition with England was of West Indies.  Which is a very weak team.  And England is a very good and strong team.  West Indies were under a lot of pressure and could not give a big target.  And England batting speed was so fast that they complete the target in the first inning and won the first match.  One they won the first match and the other they won in the first inning.  If the West Indies batsmen had set a target of 400 in the first innings, the match could have change but the England bowlers show success in making it happen.  If West Indies total target was 800 then West Indies were in chances to win.  They should perform well in this match and try to win the match.  If they could not win the Test matches then how will they win the ODI.
What a victory by team England won first test by an innings and 114 runs excellent performance by England team in both fields batting and bowling. west indies team failed to perform at Lords in second innings west indies scored only 136 runs their batsman could not deliver in both innings. In first innings they also make 121 runs credit goes to England's bowlers. Gus Atkinson purely dominated on west indies batsman he took 12 innings in first test including 5 wickets in the second innings while 7 wickets in his first innings this is the last test of James Anderson with 4 wickets England team gave farwells to James Anderson. Gus Atkinson got player of the match for his extraordinary performance which helped the England team to win first test an innings and big margin of 114 runs

England's victory already confirmed when West indies squad played their first innings and managed very low quality scores after all wickets out at just 121 scores. Gus Atkinson bowlers displayed very fantastic performance in their first inning by picking 7 wickets and other three bowlers also successfully other three wickets each bowlers picked one wicket. Not only England bowlers showcased very important inning but also better also managed good scores completely achieved first innings scores and also trail with good scores. And after bad performance in first inning, West indies batter showed same strength like first inning performance with managing only 136 score. Next test match will be start after few days and hope West indies will display better performance from their first match and emerged victorious in next two matches.
