[Neptune]

Can’t believe that’s only clipping leg stump. Looked so so out in real time.

 

[Howe_zat]

He couldn't even run away to leg like they normally do.

4 wickets for Chase. All right-handers too.

 

[Howe_zat]

I think expecting fireworks from the lower order here might be a bit ambitious. It's such a slow deck and outfield that there's going to be a lot of awkward mistiming.

Lot of spin and bounce for Chase here. Not easy (and memey) at all

I think you're right. Maybe lots of rotating the strike is a better bet than trying to tee off.

 

[GotSpin]

Sliding down?

 

[Beamer]

Have to say Michael Gough seems like a top umpire.

Terribad review

 

[Arachnodouche]

WI lucky to have put in their worst performance on a sluggish pitch and with bad weather around. If they bat with as much gumption as they otherwise do against England, they might just get away with a draw here.

 

[Gremlin]

Dom Bess may be interested in how the pitch is playing

Also the skipper. May need more spin than just Bess.

Perhaps Denly should have played.

Ah yes, he'll be a handful with Curran in the side.

Still need to bat properly after a long old time in the field. Not exactly our forte.

Stokes needs a red inker here. Would get that average over 38.

 

[trundler]

I don't understand the nitpicking about Sibley's strike rate. Be happy you've got an opener who can get runs ****s.

It'd be nice, but Sir Ben doesn't strike one as overly stats obsessed.

Reckon he'd always take a 220 and out over a 200*

Or at least complain about the low strike rate after the match is drawn rather than half way through day 2...

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm not usually a believer in 'once you remove that one performance', but without his 6/29 Brathwaite averages 85 with the ball in Tests. More than anything that just questions what happened when he took those wickets.
