essex vs west indies

Oh God, why is Kieron Powell still on this team and still opening? READ SLOWLY: KIERON POWELL HAS NOT MADE A SCORE OVER 49 IN OVER FIVE YEARS, and even that was VS BANGLADESH.

And why is Kemar Roach playing? Roach has been slow as hell since his injuries.

And lol at Blackwood. Everyone is batting slow and he's rocketing along at a 100+ strike rate.
