2nd Test: West Indies vs England Live Cricket Score & Streaming





At Sabina Park last week, two decades of West Indian decline were rolled back on a single stunning Saturday afternoon. With Jerome Taylor bowling fast and full, and Sulieman Benn redefining the role of the 6’7″ beanpole of yesteryear, England were routed as comprehensively as at any time in their (often one-sided) history of beatings in the Caribbean. Their disastrous second innings of 51 all out, the third-lowest score in England’s Test history, capped a desperate six weeks which began with an off-field debacle of equal magnitude – the dual departure of the captain, Kevin Pietersen, and the coach, Peter Moores. England can only hope that this time they really have hit rock-bottom, because if there is any further to fall, it’s hard to see where the recovery will begin.

As for West Indies, they arrive in Antigua with a spring in their step and further payback on their minds. Antigua, of course, was where their current renaissance really began, back in November, with their thumping victory over England in the Stanford Super Series. The lessons learned – particularly the need for professionalism, discipline and team spirit – have been carried forward with enthusiasm, and the whole region has been given a fillip by their exploits.
