*Official* India in West indies 2023

[Silver Silva]

By Kraigg and Tage standards this is a rocketing run-rate!

Would you say this is West Indies best opening partnership in a very long time ?

 

[Beamer]

The last time India toured we would have been 12/3 at this point and desperately trying to get through Bumrah's spell .This certainly feels different with Ashwin bowling first change.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That's a good ball

Just as I see this Tage goes to a beautiful Ashwin delivery. But yes in theory these two are our most solid openers since Gayle.

Lol Ashwin vs the WI never gets old

This time its ashwin. Last time when we have Bumrah and Shami you made a fast bowling pitch. This time a turner. What this?

Sigh. Our curators are legitimately terrible for the most part.

West Indies test team is so much better than their LOI teams

I concur but Raymon friggin Reifer just walked out to bat at number 3.........

and Blackwood will bat at 4.....

So we certainly still have work to do with our batting lineup.

You always help the opposition. When Aus, sa tour wi make bouncy wickets and against us turner slow wicket.

Having said that, not having Mayers and Chase in the top 5 is an improvement!

Ashwin is so good against lefthanders,
He's got both Chanderpaul scalps now . The circle of cricket.

 

[silentstriker]

Aaaaaand this is why you play Ashwin every Test

Wish Darren Bravo and Shai Hope was picked ..

 

[Saket1209]

That a jaffa

 

[Beamer]

I think it is time to look for new names. Brandon King is a good red ball player and then just try a good young batsman like Kirk Mckenzie.

I really don't understand this one. Why not Brandon King or McKenzie? Surely better options out there than a bloke who's made 1 ton in his entire professional career.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Kraigg on the ascendency
