2nd Test - England v West Indies

lets rally

Curtly Ambrose was scathing about the West Indies’ “totally embarrassing” defeat by England inside three days during last week’s first Test at Edgbaston.

But as the three-match series heads to Headingley, where the second Test starts on Friday, it is a reminder the former fast bowler was in a West Indies side beaten inside two days by England at the Leeds ground 17 years ago. In 2000, the teams started the fourth Test of a five-match series at Yorkshire’s headquarters all square at 1-1.

Whereas England victories over the men from the Caribbean have now become commonplace — 2000 was the last time the West Indies won a Test on English soil — it was a very different story at the turn of the century.

Chris Woakes has been named in the team for the Second Investec Test against West Indies at Headingley.

Woakes, who sustained a side strain on 1 June, has been recalled in place of Toby Roland-Jones.

Woakes took five wickets and scored 53 in his first game back for Warwickshire earlier this month.

Friday morning !

i will wake up

In 2007, they were beaten by an innings and 283 runs

(albeit with Ramnaresh Sarwan unable to bat), an even heftier drubbing than

last week at Edgbaston and their biggest-ever innings defeat.

In 2000, the match - a few weeks after what remains their last Test victory

didn't see a third day as West Indies were skittled for 61

in their second innings as Andrew Caddick took four wickets in an over.

DREAMERS.

CRICKET WEST INDIES HAS SHORTENED THE NAME TO WINDIES.

BY THE TIME THIS SERIES IS OVER ANOTHER EDICT WILL BE ISSUED TO SAY THAT THERE IS ANOTHER NAME CHANGE.

THE "WIN" WILL BE REMOVED AND THE TEAM WILL BE KNOWN AS "DIES"
