"We weren't given a chance to beat England, since we landed here," Law said. "We've heard it from every part of the media, the written press, Sky Sports, all the ex-cricketers - we weren't given a chance, mate, so that actually provided us with a lot of fire, a lot of fuel to produce what we've done over the last five days.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

"I know there's a lot of people eating humble pie, they're saying nice things about us, but deep down, they don't believe in us - which is great for us. We're going to Lord's, we'll still be the underdog… I know Aussies love an underdog, I love being an underdog as well, because you can sneak up and bite your opponent on the backside.

Just a reminder:

The last time England toured the West Indies for a test series, we managed to draw the series. We drew the first test, lost the second, and won the third. Blackwood (1 ton and several good 50s), Paint (1 ton), Holder (1 ton), Bravo (1 ton), Gabriel, Taylor and Permaul were the stars in that series.

ENGLAND WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE UNDERESTIMATING THE WINDIES AT LORDS

IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN ONE TEST WIN FOR WINDIES SUPPORTERS TO BECOME BELIEVERS AGAIN

WINDIES LAST PLAYED AT LORDS 5 YEARS AGO IN THE MONTH OF MAY AND THE CAPTAIN WAS SAMMY.

WINDIES LOST BY 5 WICKETS.

ONLY 3 PLAYERS SURVIVE THAT LOSS - POWELL, GABRIEL AND ROACH

POWELL WAS BOWLED BY ANDERSON FOR 5 RUNS LEAVING ONE ALONE THAT CAME BACK IN

GABRIEL WAS PRETTY RAW BUT HE IS NOW WELL COOKED

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."
