No rains but Zimbabwe not have proper
Equipment to dry out Out-field

ICC not help grounds invest in full ground covers if they know their drainage isn't top notch. Sri Lanka very cleverly often avoid this issue by covering the whole playing surface.

So boring

Is that the first non-kraigg windies opener to make a test hundred since kraigg debuted?

I think Gayle made a century in 2013

This is the stat/record we’re looking for:

 

[Beamer]

Seems like we've at least sold the opening pair problem. That's progress, though tbh this depleted Zimbabwe attack and the pudding of a pitch weren't massively challenging. It was just a test of patience which is basically their superpower.

It might be hard to score quickly on this surface. It will be interesting to see how the likes of Blackwood and Mayer's go on it.

Knowing Kraigg, he’ll want to bat all day on day 3 (Tage will want that too, obviously.)

But Kraigg the captain needs to be proactive with this game, we should be able to give the Zimbabweans ‘2 fah 1’ here

Westindies need to win test than settle for tame draw.They should promote Holder as pinch hitter with Quick-fire cameo innings & Declares innings

They try to win matches i count on Gabriel & Gudakesh Motie)

My friend, have you been watching this match or following it one bit?

Gabriel is not playing* in this game

*(provided that he’s not in as a concussion sub)

 

[G. S. Kohli]

On day 2 Windies add 109 off 38 overs means Zimbabwe's bowling not that bad.
WI run rate 2.86, I guess.

Not a single over by any of the Debutant whom i believes good batsman

Cricbuzz had his name in playing XL.
So boring to watch ball by ball so I just check score in video on fancode ( for india only)

They got off to very good starts in two of the four innings vs arguably the best current bowling attack. I'll take it.
