This could be the first really close test series between India and WI in over a decade. The last one which comes to mind is 2006 when India just about managed to win with the help of epics from Dravid.

Absolutely, looks and bowls like a proper Caribbean quick should, love his work. Besides if/when he gets the call up he will be the first non Australian I have watched live before his international debut

We have some good quicks in the pipeline.
Romario Shepherd stands tall among the rest. Holder blew me away in that second unofficial test. I like him

What they said:
"For us, the priority has always been to be one of the most consistent sides in the world and in the last three to four years, I think we've been able to achieve that. We're the no.2 side in the world and there's a good reason to that. We've been at no.1 as well sometime. It's the kind of cricket that we've played that has gotten us up here." - Virat Kohli

You did say he was promising a while ago tbf. He looked seriously good again yesterday evening. Yep and if you look at the Under 19 tournament that has just finished we have an embarrassment of riches in this area. Serious pace and movement all over the place, at least 6 excellent prospects.
However, the batting is a real problem with no decent options available.

Yep Chemar H. He has made some very promising Indian batsmen look silly in this series. Really excited about his progress.
I'm also impressed with Frazer. HE gives it a rip and bowls a good attacking line outside off-stump. Mind you, it is taking a lot of spin, Gowtham was close to unplayable at times.

As for this ODI series, I just want to get on with the tests. Perhaps I sound like an old man now but I enjoyed the World Cup, now I want to see our test side in action.
Still, as it's happening, I would like to see our batting post some larger scores and do the right things more consistently (rotate the strike, weather the storm if they need to etc).
I would particularity like to see:
- An opener not named Gayle score some good runs
- Shai Hope get back on the century scoring wagon but to get back to the 80 strike rate of pre-world cup cricket
- Hetmeyer to return to form
- Pooran to continue his progress.

It was raining a few minutes ago. The sun's out now. Providence Stadium is known for its drainage. Best in the region.

Honestly, give me Keemo Paul over Carlos any day. He's a proper bowler with variations and is just as likely to hit a quick 40/50.

No fault in that statement.
