News :
West Indies will arrive at Lord's for the first Investec Test this week, nursing more than bruised pride from their 10-wicket hammering by England Lions in Northampton.
The well-being of pace bowlers Kemar Roach and Ravi Rampaul is of more concern to coach Ottis Gibson than another patchy display of his team.
Gibson said: "Kemar Roach has twisted his left foot, and it was a precaution as much as anything that he didn't bowl and Ravi Rampaul woke up with a stiff neck [on Sunday morning].

Hopefully, the West Indies that played against Australia will show up against England as well. Apart from Chanderpaul, all the other batsmen need to step up and score against the fiery attack that England have. In swinging conditions it is going to be quite difficult for the WI batsmen. There is some young exciting talent coming through in the West Indian team and there will be no better series for them to stamp their authority. This will be the only chance for the openers, before one of them makes way for Chris Gayle...hopefully for WI!
