AbDV's test record

Holder is a weak link in their bowling. He is just no good enough to be playing as a specialist bowler.

He is not at all an upgrade over Sammy.

[pnimesh1955]

4 th wicket Barthwaite 81 n.o and S.Hope 61 not out , put on unbeaten 127

 

WI back into game 165 for 3

 

ENG missed Roland Jones badly I think 

ENG need to drops Broad forever who scored 50 once every 30 test he can only bowls tight spell but he is really waste in the team

 

I would like Malan to open in test with cook because he is specialist opener since 2012 in South Africa and England in multiday game all domestic 

 

Malan also Leg spin bowler

Sammy not have good relation with WICB 

 

Popular player suffer in wi cricket since long time over rift with payment issue.

Sammy is not only with leadership quality in wi

He not want to leave but WICB wakes up fully with Jason Mohammad selects as vice captain in England for 5 ODI COMING UP IN ENGLAND VS ENG.

 

It's better he leave on his own just like Matthew but they have other option for test captain available.

 

Eventullay Holder should leave because he is super crap.

[chewy]

Good fight back from brathwaite and Shai hope, 100s on a difficult pitch

[The Dark Horse]

Go Windies

[Tibarn]

Windies batting is actually showing some spine for once. 

 

They need at least a 150 run lead after the 1st innings to have a shot to win.

[express bowling]

Very happy to see WI fighting back and showing intent in a test match !

 

World cricket needs a good WI test side.

WI ends the day with a 71 run lead. Hope is on 147*.

 

As long as Windies have Hope, they should be on course for a 150+ lead.

I feel they will lose this even if they get a 200 run lead.

I get the same feeling....

 

Is the pitch flattened out after the first innings??

[chewy]

Haha, 2 balls, 2 wickets....no wonder West Indies is such a pathetic team

[chewy]

Is Bishoo injured, so far bowled only 1 over in 2nd innings,

Chase bowled nearly 15 overs lol

thought he would be crictical in 2nd innings

[chewy]

Easy win coming up for England after heroics from Braithwaite and Hope.

 

never seen a more retarded captain in Test cricket than Jason Holder, can't set fields, poor use Drs, poor bowling changes
