Well Broad-Anderson is tested and deadly combination in the English condition and no matter how bad form is Joe Root facing (Which he's not) he always produce 40+ runs in each inning, its another discussion that he gets out after that most of the time.

The English team intentionally left out Broad since they wanted to give more opportunities to new bowlers like Archer etc and West Indies is not great in tests usually which is why his omission completely makes sense.

I don't think they will include Broad just because they lost the 1st test. Also, Root is another intentional omission for the same reasons. They never expected West Indies to win so convincingly in the 1st test itself. I am not expecting any major changes in the squad.

And i am sure they are regretting this decision. Imagine England playing Test against Australia or India and leaving their premier bowler who happens to take 450+ wickets in the Test format, will never happen btw. But yeah what could go wrong against WI so leave broad out lol

Not major change but only 2, Broad and Root.

About Broad your comments are ok but Root was not intentional omission as his wife was expecting so he is out now he is coming back and going to lead England and on thing more surely they was not expecting fight like this from West Indies as they already have no two best batsmen in squad so this is really best reply from this young West Indies side.

Broad and Joe root will join the playing XI in the next match. so we can hope 1-1 and then series decider on 3rd test match.

I don't really feel that these two will make a huge difference currently since they have been out of form in recent times. They will definitely help though. I was surprised to see Anderson not perform well in the 2nd innings.

Agreed. Both Broad and Anderson have remained mostly outside the media limelight, despite their achievements. Both these players have a combined 1,100 or so test wickets to their name. Broad is remembered for his horrendous over against Yuvraj Singh. Very few people talk about the 7/72 he had against the West Indies in 2012 (and that too returning from an injury). And regarding Joe Root, there is no doubt that he is one of the best test batsmen currently out there.

One thing is sure now its not easy for England to stand firm against West Indies as they already full of confidence and now they will do some more good for pride and England batting line up is not good even Root alone cannot give them something special now England need to do some hard work for win and level this series new look West Indies ic capable to give some hard time and take lead.

Not expected at all. I guess England is a way better team than West Indies. I didn't watch the match though; kept some update only. Lucky that I was busy with gambling on soccer onlym Otherwise, I would have lost definitely.

It is obvious England are a much better team but the main players was taking an extended break and West Indies was able to capitalize on the situation and win the first match which no one really expected, the major difference in this match was the way in which both captains played and the team they selected and crucial catch Ben Stokes missed in slips which was a straight forward catch off Blackwood, literally the dropped the match.

I think england was still with the best bowling lineup yes their batting lineup looked a bit novice but you have to praise west Indies as to how good they batted. Even west indies team Isn't a much experienced team so all on all i think west indies did play a pretty nice game. The way holder bowled is magnificent and how blackwood Batted in pressure conditions it was great too.

Looking at now, it seems England was bit over confident, that's a only reason they left Broad out. Sloppy fielding made it worse and didn't helped their cause. Blackwood batted well but English fielder gave him 2 chances by dropping his catch early on his inning (5, 20) result he and Roston Chase came up with 4th wicket partnership.

Broad and Joe root will join the playing XI in the next match. so we can hope 1-1 and then series decider on 3rd test match.

,

I still feel that it won't be pretty easy to tackle west Indies now. They now are a bit more confident and hopeful that they can at least get some winning chances from this series. Even with Joe and Broad back. I feel England's batting still would be pretty dependent of Joe Root. Still yes match would be much more interesting to see. But yes Anderson did show off by saying that leaving out Broad shows strength of England bowling and we pretty much saw what happened to it. LOL

Broad is one of the finest bowlers in the World. He was just too unlucky to have been facing Yuvraj Singh that day.
