I'd say they have been good, but not unlucky

He's probably going to get out to a shocking shot now that I've said this, but on first look Fudadin looks quite good. He's got a compact technique perhaps tighter then usual being on debut and all, but I hope he does well. Certainly looks more assured than the former vice captain Edwards.

So what do we think happened with him? Was the bowling he faced early in his career so bad it made him look good? Is he a flat track bully? Or was he just out of form?It would be very difficult indeed for one to look less assured that Kirk Edwards
To describe his tour as 'shocking' would probably be an understatement.

Good session for WI. Batted sensibly, little bit of luck but you need that against a new ball at any time nevermind on a pitch that has been rained on for 2 days.

I'd suspect he came into international cricket in very good form, and cashed in against some not so great attacks with a few flat pitches here and there. He's definitely horrendously out of form though, and there's no way that this series should be the norm for his test career. I'd say he slightly over performed when he came into test cricket, and he's not terribly under performing. I guess we'll have to wait a little longer to really draw conclusive conclusions on how good he is though.

Very good session from the lads, Powell continues to get starts and look good but he needs to iron out some of his little faults, he drives too often at balls he should leave and also with those drives he leaves too much space between bat and his pad, if he deals with that issue i think in a few years he'll be very decent,
Barath was lucky but i hope he can make it count, whats funny is he actually done ok in the first test getting 42 and 24, but in the second one he got 0 and 7, now he's got another 40, so in all honestly he has shamed himself, get above 50 here and he'll probably cement his position and partner Gayle when we play NZ later this month,
Fudadin has really impressed me from the short spell he's had, looks solid, people behind the scenes have said he might be Shiv's long term replacement in the team and Shiv has been working very closely with him of late aswell, hope he can go on and make a decent score,
Kirk Edwards is done for now i think, he was great before this series but there was always concerns about his lack of feet movement and it's been totally exposed in this series, if Fudadin makes a good impression in this test i can't see Kirk getting back in for now, he needs to go and work on his faults and hopefully he'll come back as a better player because when he is in form he is very good to watch and can get big scores.
Looks like there's a little bit there for the spinners so needless to say i can't wait to see what Narine can do, especially if England are chasing a decent score (250 or above) on the 5th day!!

I'm not sure that there's enough time for WI to set that sort of target, unless Sammy does a Hansie and both sides forfeit an innings. The only chance of an interesting finish to this match is a shedload of wickets over the next three sessions.Very good session from the lads, Powell continues to get starts and look good but he needs to iron out some of his little faults, he drives too often at balls he should leave and also with those drives he leaves too much space between bat and his pad, if he deals with that issue i think in a few years he'll be very decent,
