Not Terrible
Yeah still valuable runs and it's great to see a Kiwi making a big hundred but yeah this would be the game to do it.

As I think you said a few pages ago, when he's good enough to bat at 6 at test level i.e. never.

My humblest apologies and congratulations to Jeets.
Wonder if he's going back to

Generally disagree with this. Yeah the long hop to dismiss Young wasn't too flash, but otherwise most of the wickets look like pretty typical leg spin dismissals. And at least Astle can get batsmen out with his stock legspinner. Almost all of Sodhi's wickets that I've seen this season have come from his googly.

not really comparing him to Sodhi, but there were some damn awful shots amongst those wickets. Still, he kept a good economy rate I guess

Smith's and Rance's were pretty terrible
Two were pies, but as someone said before - dismissing guys with the stock leg-spinner, wrong-uns and what looks like toppies is fairly impressive, as is going at under 3s.
Timing-wise, this couldn't have come much better I wouldn't have thought. A real test of the Ish Project.
And Tom's double ton all but confirms him as the opener for the Windies, not that we all think taking on that attack at McLean is any gauge of how he'll go.

Tbh, flat tracks with a bit of turn is what the Windies are quite likely to prepare.
But yeah, easy runs here.

watching Baz from the stands can't have done him any harm
Yip there is no reason for Fulton to declare prematurely Like James Marshall did to Kane on 284*
Good point, I'm not across whether their seam bowling 'attack' will be as pee weak as it was down here, but if it is it's a decent opportunity if we can find a way to negate Narine.

That's the sane approach, but in the "We must have a spin bowler at all costs" approach, I'd put money on Nathan being a better option internationally than Sodhi is.

Not Terrible
Nathan McCullum isn't an International option.
He isn't a containing bowler in Tests because he is very easy to work around for singles.

Ok, let me make this in a "Captain State the Obvious Way"
Nathan McCullum is a terrible option for test cricket unless he became an option in the Top 6 as a batsman.... however, when compared to Sodhi, the option doesn't seem so terrible anymore.

International Regular
Ish will average under 100 with the ball, wish i could say the same for Nate
