England Lions beat West Indies by 10 wickets

When I was 13 I could have named the full team of every English county - and quite possibly their second elevens too. These days England Lions (a sort of reserve test team) pick players I have never heard of. Who is Chris Woakes?

Still, well done to him and the rest of team for beating the West Indies so comprehensively. Congratulations particularly, to Adil Rashid (an early hero of this blog) for important contributions with bat and ball.

Come to think of it, I had never heard of Darren Pattinson when he played for the full England team last year. But then neither had most of his teammates.
