Hmmm, 78 runs is just a tat bit too much, to make this a really tight test. A lot depends on how well the Windies keep their batting act together.

Gayle is out? Why's that? And why not put Chanderpaul out there as an opener?

Gayle's hamstring injury has been bothering him, apparently.

The radio commentator said that Ramdin volunteered to open the batting even though he's never opened in a first-class match before. He has done so in one-day games, though. Good luck to him.

Playing very guttsily.

Edit: The outfield is absolutely whack.

So far, it's a very decent start by Ganga and Ramdin: 50 up for no loss. It's game on! To be honoust, I did expect the Windies openers to fall with old-fashion-style ease. Good to see this.

Though one can't deny they're a bit lucky, if I have to believe cricinfo.

Doing well. Ramdin already above his Test average.

Going on the CricInfo commentary, it's not without luck, though.

Runako Morton is an absolute Moron. He fullfilled Boycott's predicting to the T. What an absolutely shocker of a shot.

Ganga needs to go on here. I don't care if he scored 10 of 1000 - he just needs to stay on the wicket.

I've never thought the cricinfo commentary was unbiased, but one really HAS to believe the Windies have tons of luck.

Oh, Steulen, btw: which club do you play for?

Yes, WI have had more luck then is their due, honestly. Kallis in particular has bowled extremely well.
