Jonny Bairstow's sensational hundred rescued England after their new era began with a familiar batting collapse on day one of the first Test against West Indies in Antigua.
England’s Test team are desperate to arrest their slide after an Ashes thrashing, with the West Indies standing in their way.
England won the toss and will bat on Tuesday on the first day of a three-test series against West Indies in the Caribbean.
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."
NORTH SOUND (Antigua and Barbuda): West Indies and England initiate the rebuilding process from the rubble of disastrous campaigns when their three-match Test series begins on Tuesday at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. The visitors' 4-0 thrashing in the latest Ashes contest and a record-equalling nine defeats in the last calendar year have pushed England into sweeping changes. The Caribbean side are contending with yet another Test slump in which a 2-0 series reversal in Sri Lanka at the end of 2021 left them with a record of five losses in their last six matches. Desperate to distance themselves from the soul-destroying experience Down Under, the English side taking the field in Antigua is set to show at least six changes, including debutant opener Alex Lees, from their final capitulation in Hobart eight weeks earlier. Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad, the celebrated swing and seam bowling tandem who are the country's highest-ever wicket-takers in Tests, were sensationally omitted from this touring party.
