[shake d livin wake d dead]

[Dizzy28]

WI still not safe from that follow on

New Zealand facing some nice bowling this morning

[uncle sam]

Bishoo's figures tho

[X_Factor]

well that match swung on its head
250runs to get tmr 8wickets

[trent]

What a spell by Bishoo!!!

[*$kїđž!™]

How d ras that happen....west Indies need to take advantage of this luck and win it tomorrow

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Allyuh really feel they could win that? Knowing this team is either loss or fight for a draw...i doh even think that wicket would hold up for batsmen

[rish1108]

Century for Bravo...118 needed with 4 wickets in hand

[trent]

Someone needs to stay with Bravo

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Discipline and patience could give windies this game.

[uncle sam]

holder is ok with the bat

[$h@dy]

114 from 228 with four wickets in hand it's doable if they keep their focus after lunch

Lunch? Boi is dinner over there
WI really impress me in this Test

[shake d livin wake d dead]

a little over 25 overs to make 100 runs is not impossible..

[Dizzy28]

a little over 25 overs to make 100 runs is not impossible..

Well no Bravo so thats a big factor!!

[*$kїđž!™]

Gosh they lost......they suppose to have won this......lost by 54 runs....
I tell ya....114 to get in 15 overs with 4 wickets.....that should have been easy.....

[Dizzy28]

WI showed great application in that second innings batting 109 overs. Credit to them facing up to Yasir on a wearing pitch. Too much single digits though Braithwaite, Samuels, Dowrich, Bishoo, Cummins and Gabriel. Had some of those players made some more runs things could have been tighter.

[trent]

Yes they actually showed some fight especially Bravo...not much ppl were expecting that...hopefully they come better next game

my tactics would have been different....once holder or bravo was out
my plan would have been to take a chance send in cummings or gabriel with the goal to swing as hard as you can...and see if they could hopefully hit a lil 15-20 runs quick then bat with bishoo to try and win the game pushing the singles/2's

no way they were gonna get that runs after bravo was out without doing something outside the box

True true ^

Let's see what they do for the other games

[Dizzy28]

Alastair Cook became England's most capped Test player today at 134 matches at the age of 31. If he plays till 38 he could reach 200 Tests comfortably and could overtake Tendulkar as the overall test run-scorer.

The amount of Tests played today especially by the smaller teams it will only be an Englishman who could break the overall record.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Cook is good...props to him...but I'm gonna give the next sachin tag to virat..

[shake d livin wake d dead]

let's see how the windies do on day one of the second test

[Dizzy28]

Pakistan 280/3 with 10 overs remaining in the day. Made a gentlemens bet with a cousin last night Younis Khan would score a double in this test. I see he is 120*. Hope I'm right.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

hard luck deh bai^...good knock by him though

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Hoping Bangladesh beat england...windies aint looking so good nuh...well what's new

[Dizzy28]

England won and WI looking like they gonna lose.
The status Quo in these tests have been maintained.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I still like Bangladesh's performance thus far..hopefully they could win one
