Congrats young tiger. Windies need about 3 more like u and they bad

True. They are around but it is whether they will be given the chance. Chanders had to wait until he was 26 years old to debut for WI.

[DMan7]

His father debuted at 19 years old. WI needs players to debut at 19 years old that is quality batsmen and bowlers so they have something to build for the future.

[Dizzy28]

That's bad luck. COVID meant he played no cricket for 2 years. Hard to have broken into the team without FC cricket.

Which channel showing WI vs Zimbabwe? Thought it would've been Flow sports but not seeing it on channel 290 on flow.

FLOW Channel 389

Thanks. Congrats to the skipper as well as the young man on his ton, let's not forget he only got his chance because John Campbell was banned.

I disagree that he should have debuted at 19 though.... his first class record shows he was not good enough to play test cricket at that age. He might have succeeded like his father but he also could've ended up like Ganga. Let's appreciate the fact that he's playing now and hope he keeps making runs for a long time.

150 for young chanders. He chasing the double atm

[shake d livin wake d dead]

West indies tail does start from no3 yes

[trinigamer]

Windies declare on 447/6.

Junior not out on 207, which is higher than his father's HS of 203.

Lets not get carried away yet again by another new WI player making a huge score early in their career to mean that WI cricket going to turn around. Remember Mayers made 200+ runs on debut against Bangladesh in a test a few years ago as well and Bangla is a far better test team than ZIM.

Chanders showed/showing a lot of promise. He started of very well against a very strong Australian pace attack.

Adrian Bharath made a debut test century against an better Australian bowling attack. We should take a modest approach to hyping up these new players for their own good too.

compare to 1988 lara who made 91 in a game against barbados against the likes of garner and marshall in near their near prime

Trinidad's attack in that game was top notch as well
Eventually four test bowlers came out from that lot (Harold Joseph was selected and taken to Australia but never played test cricket)

lara and shiv had tremendous mental capacity to stay at the crease, seems young chanderpaul may have inherited some of that
it is sadly lacking in most of the current wi

WI need to find Khemraj Chanderpaul and offer him a contract

He related to Chandrapaul Hemraj by chance...

Khemraj is Shiv's father. He coached both Shiv and Tage.

Clearly he has the sauce!

India currently mashing up Australia.

Australia 2nd Inns - 68/7 trailing by 155 runs

[bluefete]

Australia all out for 91. Lose by an innings and 132 runs. 6 - LBW's.

Lost all 10 wickets in just over ONE SESSION.

It good for them. All the mind games they tried to play about the pitch backfired.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Lovely victory by India. The Aussies complained about the Nagpur pitch being a spinner's wicket....both teams had to bat on it, better team came out on top.

ZIM vs WI 2nd test match tomorrow, allya ready?

Me eh know why people vex with Tage and Brathwaite over their 336 run partnership.

We did not lose!

ENT! Besides ZIM is on our level if not slightly worse than us. Give them a few years and we would wish we could beat them.

[Dizzy28]

This thinking is why we are 8th in the test rankings. Teams above us scoring 400 in a day routinely now. Heck we even saw England score 500 in an incomplete days play recently.

Yes we didn't lose but this type of batting will not beat India Australia or England on a regular basis if at all.

Motie 7/37 on the first day of 2nd test against ZIM 115 all out.

[bluefete]

We have to move from not losing to winning.

Cricket is a mind game as well. Teams making 400-500 in a day are psyched to do so. WI not ready for that level of cricket as yet.

Motie 7/37 on the first day of 2nd test against ZIM 115 all out.

Just saw this and was like -

[DMan7]

The Guyanese players coming to the party for WI Cricket, last match was Tage with his double 100 and now Motie with his 7 wickets. The oil money working wonders boi.

[trinigamer]

Windies 133/4, 18 runs ahead.

Looks to be a low scoring match, weather permitting.

[Country_Bookie]

Motie 7/37 on the first day of 2nd test against ZIM 115 all out.

Just remember he was left out of the team against Australia for the former batsman now specialist spinner Chase. Tells you how messed up our selectors are.

I had a feeling after the 1st test against ZIM they were going to replace Motie for Gabriel but they replaced Roach instead. If Motie hadn't gotten any wickets in the 1st test he wouldn't be playing today. WI modus operandi is to replace specialist spin bowlers with faster bowlers for decades.
