Last 10 overs 17/0

And I thought this was test cricket.

Good afternoon Shoaib as De Silva belts him for four

could De Silva come in earlier as he appears to be a better batter than a couple of the higher order ?

 

[GIMH]

Not sure why we've still got 3 reviews.

Was brought in for home umpires during COVID. As you say that was a completely wasted review.

Not going to help the over-rates having more pointless reviews like that. Going back to 2 gets them to be smarter.

Yep I said the same the other day. Time to go back to 2, given you don't lose one for Umpire's Call.

His batting technique outshines those above him in the lineup. He was once the opening batsman for Trinidad.

Don't fall for this trap, Holder

Is he perceived to be captaincy material for the future in WI circles? There is an air of some solidity about him.

Yes, he's been the skipper of our most recent A-team tours. I think they are going to give him the vice-captaincy role ahead of Alzarri* for the tests against SA.


*wishful thinking*

Good to see Windies fighting on because I'll see very little of days 2 and 3, and am scheduled to be at day 4

 

[CartyDurham]

It’s went cloudy and the swing is missing

also isn’t this about the time , the ball gets changed as it’s out of shape ?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nice cat and mouse battle going on here between Bashir and Holder.

 

[CartyDurham]

Mark Butchers bowling there

destroyed the Aussies


Those 3 deliveries by bashir to holder , one inside edged , then the next 2 , same shot but perfectly struck

it’s good experience for bashir this

Couple of more overs from Bashir and it might need to be.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Can't believe we gifted wickets to Bashir last innings.

 

[CartyDurham]

Think this session is a draw now. Holder and De Silva are looking well set

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Wood 2-34 (11.1)

[CartyDurham]

Leg theory in play

bring on Larwood

 

[King Kane]

Holder holding the fort for the Windies along with Da Silva again, they must get sick of having to bail out their flimsy top order.

 

[mackembhoy]

A Scotland debutant called Michael English has hit a century today against Namibia.

He's from paisley too, bet they are a popular family

Ironically, these two were out for ducks in the first innings of the first test to start all this ****
