He was a massive loss for us. Definitely the most talented opener we've had since Gayle. Shame he gave up cricket completely.

why did barath give up on the game so early

He's now a pastor I think.

this pitch needs god tbh

In different circumstances this WIndies side would be rather good. Barath, Bravo, Pooran and Hope all feel like they would've been much better cricketers in a different system.

The highlight in the field yesterday was Foakes standing up to Woakes.

 

[Tom Flint]

Interesting action, but Lawrence is a pretty useful part-timer.

Bowlers with weird actions always get me out lol

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Also thought that wasn't Roots finest captaincy effort.

Pretty much standard for him.

As captains go he's, well, a great batsman.

 

[honestbharani]

Which bowler is he breaking this game?

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

If unsure assume Stokes.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Which bowler is he breaking this game?

All of them. Leach has bowled over a third of the overs on a pitch doing very little, the two new seamers he clearly doesn’t rate, Woakes bowled only 9 overs with the first ball and Stokes who isn’t 100% fit has bowled more overs and longer spells than the others.

 

[Tom Flint]

With the new balls the pitch had decent enough carry and was swinging a bit. The bowlers just are 3rd string and the batsmen played well. As has been the case all test

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Rain in Barbados and the sun out in England.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

My god, that ball was too good not to get a wicket.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Leach gets a bit of turn every ten overs and the commentators nearly wet themselves.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Joseph looks like a technically correct batsman.

Another masterclass in getting a tail ender out.This wicket is killing cricket but I am sure Australia and India would find a way to get wickets.Whoever picked these bowlers to go on tour has no idea about test cricket

Australia didn't find a way in Pakistan though.
