Yes but BCCI still doesn't want long tours for NZ and SA. This is where they compromise on the cricket schedules.

It's the SA board that doesn't want more than two tests. They want more T20s against India.  Last time too, SA board cancelled one test and scheduled T20s in place that.

They are hosting Eng and Aus for 3 test series next year. 

Indian white ball tours generate money for host boards , not red ball ones. That's not the case with ENG and maybe Australia.

Doubt Aus red ball tours generate money either, smaller market, time difference. How come they get 3 and 4 test series all the time?

They got a 2 test series in NZ. They don't get more than 3 nowadays unless they are touring India or England.

Ofcourse Aus won the toss again,3 times in a row.

Jayden Seales has been a good find for the Windies.

Problem for the Windies is they have a trio of bowlers in Alzarri Joseph, Shamari Joseph and Seales.

 

2 of 3 seem to fire.

 

In I1 Shamari and Seales got 7 wickets with Alzarri 0.

 

In I2 Shamari and Alzarri have 5 wickets with Seales 0

 

In their pace quartet days - usually 3 of 4 used to fire.

 

But they are getting there - they need one more mean @ss bowler. Also have to find a Lara/Viv and another Chanderpaul. Then they are back in contention.

WI are 7/5 chasing 200. Starc has taken 5 wickets in 2 overs 

[R!TTER]

WT eff how can ICC allow Oz to constantly cheat with the toss like this 

[R!TTER]

Looks like lowest test score ever in danger 

[adi B]

Wtf 12/6 ,starc with the fastest fifer ever I think lol 

[vvvslaxman]

These pink ball tests are a joke. They should stop playing it. Root took 5 for 8 in India

[Ultimate_Game]

WI could break our record of 36/9 here.

26/9 Boland hat trick 

[sage]

 

at least we did a bit better chasing a similar total

[Lord]

Pink ball favours bowlers a bit too much 

[The Hound]

Starc is almost unplayable with the pink ball lol. 

[Frustrated]

Congrats Windies.  You hv beaten our lowest record of 36 AO.   I always had faith in your team.  Knew if there was a team that could beat our record of 36 AO, it's Windies.
