Good to see Cook, Dalrymple and Louden doing well. Dalrymple is a similar cricketer on paper (Batting, off spin bowling "all rounder") to Louden, but I think bats at 7 and bowls as a frontline spinner for Middlesex. I've been keeping tabs on Louden and he for a while and they both seem to be progressing nicely. Word was that Louden's batting has not come on as much as his bowling in the last few years, but hopefully that should rectify itself through time as he was said to be a quite a stylish player.

Good win, but any side which that lets Gareth Batty run riot for 7-23 on a West Indian pitch can't be a whole lot of cop.

Is the A team playing in the West Indies domestic competition this time, or just the series vs West Indies A?
