Top sportsmen are always on trial but it is difficult to recall so many players in one team being under such minute scrutiny as Joe Root’s England when they take on the West Indies in Antigua today.
Stuart Broad and James Anderson, West Indies head coach Phil Simmons said on Monday ahead of their three-Test series against England. Anderson and Broad, who have taken a combined 1,177 wickets in Test cricket, were not selected in England's 16-player squad following a 4-0 Ashes drubbing in Australia, but Simmons called on his side to keep their guard up. "Everyone keeps harping on about the fact that there's no Broad, no Anderson," Simmons told a news conference. "Yes, England might not have the experience, but they have young fellas who are hungry to make their name. "That is something that you have to guard against. For me, you can't be saying 'that's a big advantage' because then you tend to get complacent and you get found out. There's still some quality bowlers in there who we have to bat against."
