Just the thing to brighten up a dank and cold January - the Barbados Test kicks off the England tour of the West Indies.

Fabulous pictures on Sky - 10,000 England supporters filling the stadium - like a home match - but with sunshine :)

England drop Stuart Broad and play Curran and Adil Rashid - I'd not like to have been the person to tell Stuart that ... probably the right decision (the pitch seems to have been crafted from plasticine), but still a brave one given that they're using the Duke ball and Broad's record.

Windies win toss and bat first ... now - is it too early for a Red Stripe?

Fabulous moment as Sobers and Garner present his cap to the new Windies opener, John Campbell - the love and respect that the current team have for the two legends was very obvious.

Dear Sky

Enough with the pink & porky male torsos - I've not long had my breakfast.

I remember going to Barbados on holiday and the Windies were on the flight. They all looked super cool with their black suits and shades. I was sitting amongst them and when we put our flat bed seats down, I was very close to my companion. So I can officially say I slept with one of the West Indian cricket team :)
