Simmons out for a brainless duck....
Brathwaite just doesn't look ready for Test cricket yet. He needs at least another season in FC cricket, because he has some technical deficiencies that the Indians would eat for breakfast.
Sorry, but we need Gayle and Barath back opening the batting, if we're to stand any chance against India....

Ashoka is thinking. I fear for humanity when that happens.

True! The batting is tottering. Bravo played like a noob and got out like one too. I mean who gets out in the over just before tea?

I suppose it's an improvement on his usual method of not thinking at all.

He's much more than an opener who bowls some handy off-spin. Tbh, I wasn't very pleased with the way Misbah used him in the Providence. Hafeez was taken off as soon as he got Devon Smith out.Hafeez!!
He's a genuine wicket-taking option and this Ajmal-Hafeez-Rehman trio must be used effectively. It's a very potent spin attack and they complement each other very well.
Edit: Wow, they are plummeting. Rehman gets one and this spin attack is starting to bite!

Yeah, I don't think people are at all convinced about the doosra. He's been cleared once by the ICC though.

Was spluttering into my diet coke when I read your original post.
Ooo, Dorothy for Samuels as I type. Need a few more of those, the Windies.

Judging from what I've read and seen, it is near impossible to flick out a doosra with a ram-rod straight arm.
Maybe, Bedi has a point when he says what he says.
Especially the way Saqlain invented and later Murali-Harbhajan-Ajmal et. al. have followed it, there seems to be a distinctive pattern. Each one of them bowls it in pretty much the same way and the wrist rotation seems to be the key.The way the elbow leads could be slightly different for different bowlers and apparently that's the problem. Let's just say it is more conspicuous in some cases.
Not sure if any bowler has attempted something which is biomechanically different so far.
More on doosra: See this. I am hardly an expert on spin bowling so would be curious to hear more knowledgeable opinions.
