West Indies vs England Barbados Oval

Gird your loins, get back on the horse, let the show go on. Again. So soon after the Ashes debacle, it barely seems feasible that another England campaign is underway already – and to judge by Sam Billings’ 15,000 km and four-flight sprint from Hobart to Bridgetown (to follow up his 500km, nine-hour drive from Brisbane to Hobart earlier in the month), it probably isn’t reasonable to expect the white-ball squad’s one representative from that fifth-Test thrashing to be sufficiently combobulated to take his place in Saturday’s starting line-up at the Kensington Oval.
