Bish is super unbiased to the core.

One random comment where he lets his hope up doesn't make him biased.

I'm not saying he's unbiased when talking about other teams, but in this Test, he's spent most of the time talking about WI and almost raving about them.
 
Why Johnson was excluded in favour of Shai Hope and Rajendra Chandrika for the opening berth is beyond me given his much superior FC record and fact he didn't even fail in his first Test run.

All year, he's been making ducks in warmup games.

Also, politics. Chandrika is from Guyana; was given a spot to appease Guyanese who were upset that Chanderpaul was dropped.
 
Wao thanks to our mighty batting line up it has put bishoo above michael holding and Co, that take some doing, i mean this is beyond words.

They need 282 to win and have 9 wickets in hand. That is certainly doable and their supporters should be thinking of a win now.

I thought Johnson was from Georgetown, Guyana ?

I didn't think he did anything to merit dropping after the 2014/15 season. He got some good scores vs Bangladesh and South Africa.
 
Oh man wrist slitter and doubters will have filed untill tommarow if we don't take atleast 2 more wickets tonight,
 
Is the target achievable? Technically yes.

Will it be achieved? Probably not.

375 is too far away.

Even 200/2 doesn't guarantee a win.
 
Faz is seriously a walking encyclopedia.

Yeah, but Afro-Guyanese.

This is the timeline:

1. Bravo sits out of the tour of South Africa.
2. Leon Johnson comes in for Bravo and does decently.
3. Leon has a terrible domestic season. Hope has a great season.
4. Bravo re-enters the team and takes Leon's spot.
5. Chanderpaul is dropped. Hope comes into the team due to his domestic season and Chandrika comes into appease the Chanderpaul lovers.
6. Hope fails internationally. Chandrika fails.
7. Hope has a great domestic season again, but so does Leon (his team wins the domestic tournament).
8. Selectors go with Leon.
9. Hope (averaged in the 60s domestically last domestic tournament) waits in the sidelines for someone to fail so he can leapfrog onto the team.
10. Leon goes to Pakistan and finds himself playing for his career.

pak feeling the pressure, would be lucky to get a wicket here...If WI play well and end today's play with only 1 or 2 wickets only..
 
What's with wahab and no balls. Someone needs to get in his ears big time these things can cost us big time

Thanks for the timeline ! From Chanderpaul to Chandrika...quite the step-down.

Maybe Shai Hope can be a replacement for Marlon in the middle-order.
 
Wahab is playing as Marlon Samuels specialist. Thats it. Has nothing else to do

Fazeer is a wonderful commentator to listen to.
 
This wicket is best to bat in last session with dew on. I guess it will be difficult at start tomorrow
 
that is why follow on must have been enforced stupid tactics . now WI have all the confidence
 
NZ were 151/1 in Kanpur in reply to India's 330.

We know what happened next.

Unless the pitch loses its zip like Sabina Park and bowlers lose their rhythm (like Indians did)....its hard to chase this down.

WI are underdogs and everyone loves the underdogs (except the team facing them) but they just should just forget about score and keep carrying on.
 
Loving this. Needed some suspense. Hope West Indies are within 10 runs and we get the last wicket. It'll also give our guys a wake up call.
 
I mean pak team management looking so worried as if WI are 280/1, come On, yeah we really made a big mess of it, but we are still favorites to win this, so get your act together, no need of this dramay bazi,
 
The field is needlessly spread out as if its 200/1. C'mon Misbah, we are still on top so act like it!
