*Official* India in West Indies 2019

[h_hurricane]

One innings

True, as Kohli has shown in the recent past, won't be surprised if he comes back with a big one. Was softened by short pitch bowling today.

A good chance that we will lose some points for not keeping up with the over rate.

 

[h_hurricane]

Holder since the beginning of 2018 has been nothing short of incredible. Averaging 13 with the ball and 51 with the bat.

Good session of test cricket. A lively start and top quality seam bowling caused problems, but India weathered the storm and got through it ok in the end as the pitch started to flatten out a little.

Can't help but feel that awful spell by Cummins let them off the hook. When we bat I don't think India will have such an obvious weak link.

Holder since the beginning of 2018 has been nothing short of incredible. Averaging 13 with the ball and 51 with the bat.

His career stats are pretty impressive too. Averages around 35 with the bat and 27 with the ball.

I just noticed bumrah put up an umm very questionable pic with kohli.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Moisture has dissipated. Batting looks easy now

These cover drives in slowmo are sweet

 

[Anil]

our two best batsmen both out cheaply...

 

[rparikh14]

And then Rahul throws it away

 

[vcs]

Oh FFS

Giving a wicket to Chase down the legside in his first over just when they were beginning to look comfortable. That's awful.

 

[Burner]

Would have loved watching Ashwin on this pitch.

 

[OverratedSanity]

After looking good against the pacers after lunch, Rahane looks predictably rubbish against chase here.

Also only just realised Cornwall isn't playing. Disappointing.

 

[trundler]

Really enjoying the commentary with Viv and great to see West Indian pacers make inroads. Interesting battle with Pant Jadeja out there.

Where my West Indian brothers at? Too good a test to be this quiet.

 

[trundler]

Bit wide from Roach

 

[trundler]

Pant looks good but the bowlers are gassed

 

[OverratedSanity]

Why does pant look better in tests than odis? It makes very little sense.

 

[trundler]

Lmao they were waiting for the completion of the over but the ground staff came onto the field anyway but then they tried to get off quickly, failed and brought the covers on anyway.

 

[Beamer]

Interesting first day. Was good to get early enough cheat whilst the moisture was still there. Batting looked pretty easy later on in the day.

Looking at how Chase went and how predictably horrible Cummins was, I can't help but feel that leaving Cornwall out was an awful decision.
