Bishoo's lower order trolling skills might be required at some point.

It says minimum overs remaining: 42. Will they get 42 overs or will light fade before that?

Right, Sri Lanka would be wishing now that they hadn't wasted those two hours. Poetic justice, I say.

Disappointing this. Wanted WI to win by one wicket in the last over, with the five run penalty being paramount.

Well that's karma I suppose.

All in all though, a shame that the 2 hour delay and rain ruined was an excellent Test match.

What's everyone's thoughts on Cummins? Wicketless on a deck for quicks isn't a good look. He's been really poor since the 5wh in the India Test.

I reckon the West Indies escaped there, glad they did too.

Bowls too short, too far outside off at least to the right handers, and at a very unspectacular pace.

Been a good test. I figured SL got away in the 3rd innings.On another day, they would have gotten to 250, rather than 350. Maybe I don't give them enough credit?

Anyway, I don't know about the ball-tampering-craphola. I really have no idea to how& why of the umpires. And I don't give a rat's arse. I do think the Lankans were wrong to not take the field though. Absolutely no point in that, So, in the end it is poetic justice they were a bit of time short.

Aditya: "Still don't understand all the comments asking the Windies to go for it. A hard fought draw like this one is not something the ICC should be trying to prevent. The issue of draws was the boring ones on flat pitches where scores were around 600+ each innings."

echo my sentiments some dumb ****s kept on going about how windies negative batting is the reason test cricket is a dying format as such negative cricket takes the viewership away from test cricket, nothing like a back to the wall effort to save the game on the final day.

I'm not impressed, but I also thought things didn't go his way.
How's Alzari Joseph doing?
