West Indies Call-up Veerasammy Permaul to Cover Injury-Hit Devendra Bishoo

Bridgetown, Barbados: Left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul was Thursday added to the West Indies squad for the third and final Test against England which gets underway at the Kensington Oval on Friday.

Permaul was summoned to make up a 15-man squad after leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo suffered a cut to his ring finger in the right hand.

Permaul, 25, made his debut in 2012 and has played four Test matches so far. He has 12 wickets at an average of 37 runs per wicket.

He was the leading wicket-taker in the West Indies four-day tournament this year with 67 wickets at 14 runs each.

"Bishoo did well for us in the second Test in Grenada but he has a finger injury so we decided to call-up Permaul," said coach Phil Simmons.

"He was among the best bowlers in the four-day cricket earlier this season, and he also bowled well in the camp ahead of this series -- so he's in good shape."

England lead the three-game series after a nine-wicket win in Grenada followed a draw in the first Test in Antigua.

Looks like Stokes is out. Shame, as this is the first track which might suit his bowling.

I'd like the leggie Adil to play but the coach and skipper don't reckon he can bowl so they won't pick him.

I'd give Plunkett a run too.

 

[Firebreaker]

I hope Adil Rashid play

 

[manick badsha]

Hope brother veerasamy perumal gets game

Another boring test where hacks tuk tuk to pile runs on flat pitches, i rather watch paint try than this awful form of cricket

Pitches have been awful, no two ways about it. Not even slightest hint of deterioration even on the final day. It was a miracle Jimmy Anderson forced a result. Blame the curator, not the format.

As if Bangladesh is preparing the best pitches. At least we had a result here.

Wut.

There is still a day to go tomorrow and all 3 results possible.

Still results are not a very good excuse for flat as a pancake pitches.

 

[James]

I don't think Bishoo bowled well in the 2nd Test at all. In fact I think he was awful. Legspinners who bowl regular no-balls should be rendered practically unselectable in my view. A blessing in disguise for West Indies.

He's not a good bowler but Pakistan made him a better one

 

[MarkCooper]

Bishoo is out. Permaul is in

Roach is out, Taylor is in

 

[Firebreaker]

I don't know what Jordan has done to keep his place in the team.By far the worst bowler I have seen ever to play for England

 

[honeybadger]

Trott

 

[TNA]

Why is England playing Trott as an opener?

 

[BeautifulGame]

Trott bounced out again.Could get real ugly against Johnson if he plays the Ashes

 

[Firebreaker]

Trott should be replaced by Vince in Ashes

 

[Amjid Javed]

Trott should be dropped after this tests, pretty much cant play the shortball and struggles against moving ball early on as well.

Lyth should be given a go against new zealand

 

[TestMatch]

Trott looked positively depressed today.

 

[Juansar_07]

Trott fails at the top again....

Spoiler

 

[MarkCooper]

Holy Crap. Ballance didn't score 50+!

How did Holder "beat him for Pace" as the commies say when it was 80mph.

Trott's third duck in three tests.

Top class bowling from Holder.

Bell gone for a Duck...Holder again.

Permaul looks pretty underwhelming.

I like this digital, snicko thingy.

 

[Markhor]

West Indies have England on the rack but Cook and Ali are putting on a good partnership. Yet again WI find themselves unable to maintain the pressure on the opposition like we saw against South Africa and in the 1st Test vs England.

 

[MarkCooper]

Small collapse from England. This pitch is spinning on day 1. Could be a minefield on day 5

 

[MarkCooper]

What I like about Moeen is even when he isn't scoring runs, he never looks anything other than really confident.

 

[Jabo]

Stokes/Buttler/Jordan/Broad

on paper it looks strong, they need another 80 from this partnership

 

[MarkCooper]

Cook ran Ali out lol

 

[MarkCooper]

This spinner took 67 wickets in the first class season at 21 runs each.

 

[James]

Not watching this, but sounds like a classic Cook innings. In a slight Gooch mould. Maybe that winter break has restored his old self.

 

[Robert]

We should have picked a second spinner.

Trott is gone. The experiment has failed.

Anyway, lovely to see Cook back. One pull shot looked like David Gower. WI should be pitching it up to him.

 

[SL_Fan]

Top knock by Cook. Good to see him back in the runs. WI have done well but still some batting to come for Eng. So 300+ is gettable and that should set the game up nicely.

 

[James]

England ripped all out for 250, The Incredible Jimmy takes a wicket with his 2nd ball though.

Could be a 'highlights package' 3-day match at this rate.

 

[Neferpitou]

Great bowling effort.

If Windies survive the first 10, I'll back them to win this.

 

[MarkCooper]

5 for 2

 

[Neferpitou]

Imo, that touched the ground.

 

[trogger]

Can't see windies chasing much over 100-150 batting last on this deck, only hope for them is a 350+ score first up and that would take a miracle by the looks of things.

 

[angrypathan]

Clouderson looking dangerous

It's that special kind of cloud you only get in the Caribbean which is blue in colour.

 

[James]

World-class spell by Anderson for 2nd match in a row.

Say what you will about the clouds and the upper 20s average but the guy has the heart of a lion.

Hope Wicket - Anderson.Close call for that catch.Went in favor of the fielding side..

Anderson with his 3rd scalp already. Samuels found himself perplexed against James yet again.

Clouderson doesn't need clouds. He needs humidity and the Duke.

Moeenalitharan bowling short filth.

 

[MarkCooper]

82/5

 

[James]

Jordan continues to justify his selection as specialist slip catcher. Another unbelievable grab. Who cares about his bowling when he creates so many wickets with his fielding? lol

In other news, Root continues to look like a better bowler than Moeen...

World class athlete.

Windies in even more trouble. I hope these two can put up a partnership.

Chanderpaul Wicket - Root.Nice catch by Jordan in the slip.

Shot from Ramdin.

Blackwood looks like Windies' best bat in the current team. Great eye for the bad ball and a very smart technique.

100 up. 103/5

Well bowled Broad. Deserved wicket after many overs of graft.

Yep, it's reversing.

Real pitches like this expose batsman and also define them.

 

[The_KING]

This is the kind of pitch that makes test cricket exciting. Not the ones we get in Bangladesh which offer absolutely nothing for the bowlers.

 

[Neferpitou]

Shot from Blackwood, 50 for him.

124-7

Holder goes.

 

[Neferpitou]

Blackwood should go full throttle now, look for every boundary possible. Try to get near 200.

 

[Executioner]

Will definitely expose our batsman that is all I can say.

On topic, brilliant stuff from England. WI aren't that good when the ball swings, even more when it reverses

 

[Neferpitou]

Loving Blackwood's play.

 

[Neferpitou]

Blackwood putting the beard in his place.
