India tour of West Indies 2023 - 2 Tests, 3 ODIs, 5 T20Is

[Ahmad94]

If anything, it really shows how far behind West Indies are in their test game to other nations.

Surely you know that Ashwin and Jadeja are going to be the wicket-takers on these slow pitches, and Rakheem is happy to give the strike to the no.11. Lack of aggression at the end and try to play out Ashwin and Jadeja like it achieves anything. Lack of proactive cricket and succumb to a pathetically low total.

It's Jaiswal time . Had been waiting for this

Prithvi Shaw cursing that he missed out on this series.

Jaiswal looks like a promising prospect! Pitch is clearly super slow but he seems to have adapted well and that reverse sweep in the last over shows he is now looking to score big. Big day for him tomorrow.

The only person he should be cursing is himself. @LiveLoveABD pointed out years ago on how he has massive attitude issues and they don’t seem to have been corrected at all. He won’t be getting a lot of opportunities in the future with how stacked the team is unless he massively cleans up his act.

The more I watch this, the more convinced I am that this series has been bank rolled by the BCCI to provide some relief to the fans and the players themselves( in order to get back amongst runs and perhaps break down a few records on the way)

It should be a sin to keep Ashwin out of the Test team.

Has to suck for Athanaze, a test fifty on debut to go with the ODI one would have been amazing especially in his home country.

Would it still count as a 50 on debut if he makes one in the 2nd Innings? It would still be his 1st Test, right?

Just came across an aerial view of the stadium. It looked breathtakingly beautiful.

Yes,it does count!

This run rate is not very Bazball

 

[Fenil]

66 runs in 32 overs. Is it turning square or is the pitch VERY slow to make the stroke making tough?

 

[asprin]

Snoozefest. I doubt that the bowling is tight, so unsure why the set batsmen are going slow.

Cornwall was getting a lot of turn, Warrican a little.

The batting is very cautious from what I've seen.

Oh boy, VK will be gobbled up.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Oh boy, VK will be gobbled up.

I saw Cornwall turn one a mile and a vision of Kohli getting bowled through the gate entered my mind.

 

[Bevab]

Cornwall is out of the action due to a chest infection. Hope it’s nothing serious.
