because permaul is not very good

This is not true. Permaul’s always been very good.

This is not true. Permaul’s always been very good.

i may have mentally got him confused with Devendra Bishoo

Yeah, Bishoo’s decline was not great. He wasn’t utilized well by Holder.

Permaul has been leading the bowling charts in the 4-day tournament, year after year…Rahkeem being the next best.

So Permaul pretty deserve this run in the team. An SLA is ideal against an opposition that’s packed with RHB’s

 

[Beamer]

This is not true. Permaul’s always been very good.

It is a mystery tbh. He stuggled a little on his first test call ups but wasn't too bad. He was never given a run and then randomly fell behind Warrican despite outbowling him at every opportunity he was given.

Excellent day and well negotiated by Braithwaite and Blackwood too. I didn't see the Lanka innings so not sure how the pitch is but it would be great for west indies to really bat well tomorrow and try to post 300 +

 

[Migara]

Why does Veerasammy's (Original form Veerasami) surname is "Permaul" instead of "Perumal"? I can understand first name undergoing anglicasation. He is definitely south Indian in descent.

A lot of things got lost in transit from India to British Guiana… you’d expect some names to change their spelling.

Who were the guys doing the registration of names? Most likely the British.

I would be very very impressed if they get a lead like that

 

[GotSpin]

Be nice if Hope contributes something here

 

[ashley bach]

once West Indies get the wobbles, they fall like a house of cards.
like apple crumble falling to little bits and pieces...
they are mentally very very weak.
having said that they still have a big chance in this test.

 

[WICFan]

West Indies leading by 49 after that see-saw innings.

Nice lead, but still wouldn't want to batting 4th on this deck.

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah crucial session here

 

[GotSpin]

Nice direct hit there!

I could name pretty much every team in the world in the last few years who collapse regularly except maybe nz and India.
Mentally very very weak is a patronising stupid thing to say. Did you miss the bangladesh tests last year?

cmon windies get em today

There's a lot of surnames among the Indians in the Caribbean that I've never seen before. I always wanted to know why they ended up with these names and how they came to be, but I see SillyCowCorner's onto something by pointing out it was the British who registered the names.

 

[Aritro]

So I guess there's no way to watch this other than illegal stream?

Believe so…

Having said that, it was British who registered Tamil names of Sri Lanka too. But they have retained their original form. May be distance and hence feed back from South India may have played a part.

 

[OverratedSanity]

My only observation on the day's play so far is that the guy at first slip can clap real loud.
