Today could be Roots last as captain as it looks like the WIndies will win England missed an own goal by leaving out both Anderson and Broad but they have also been unlucky in the bowling with Robinson and Wood injured on tour Their batting is woeful and needs to be sorted

West Indies going through the motions must be careful England lead by 21 with two wickets in hand, if the get that lead to around 80 then it’s game on

Windies win by 10 wickets and with it the series 1-0. Good to see that they have a very competitive team again with a number of young players so they can only get better.

England are brilliant in white ball cricket but are poor in tests so I suspect lots of changes coming starting with removing Root from the captaincy. Stokes will be one of the favourites to take over.

Tomorrow and Sunday is the IPL auction.

Rabada is one of the marquee players and on the highest base price.

The South African teenage sensation, Dewald Brevis, is also in the auction. I expect him to go for a huge amount in the draft.

West Indies are currently getting a hiding by India. This Odean Smith, can hit the ball and can bowl as well. His strike rate in all formats is over 100 in batting. He can be a dark horse to go for a big price.

Odean bowled in the 140s and now after being dropped, he hit them sick and silly. Chase was over 200.

I see England is thumping SA in the Women's semi-final - sadly a bridge too far for our women - writing was on the wall when both Lee and Wolvaardt were dismissed cheaply - have to say though the best two teams will meet in the final :huh:

Rickleton finally gets his chance against Bangladesh. Harmer is back with Maharaj to provide spin. Should have gone with Simpala instead of Williams unless Simpala is injured. Olivier is going to have to be at his best. Mulder is the other bowling option with medium pace.

South Africa batting first. Erwee's home ground, Kingsmead.
