West Indies vs India | 2nd Test | Kingston | 30th Jul - 3rd Aug | Day 1

[Abhilash93]

Yeah Umesh gas a very good outswinger and should open the bowling with shami IMO. Ishant can be hit and miss

He got some really exaggerated outswing in the last match. That said, Ishant is our most experienced bowler rn & has been in excellent form in the last 2-3 series, consistently bowling around 140 ks.

 

[street cricketer]

Umesh Marshall, Ishant Garner and Shami Holding.. golden generation has returned

My God!

What fast bowlers we have

We only need Bhuvi to form the legendary quartet

 

[Hasan123]

Shami bhai mostly has his radar right. He is our best bowler.

But Malcolm Yadav doesn't always get it right. But when he does, Malcolm is a good bowler.

Yes he is, hope Shami stays injury free hes a fine bowler.

Yadav is inconsistent but he's dangerous when he gets it right. Hope you persevere with him. I like him as a bowler

Ishant was brilliant in SL but then he has some disciplinary issues. Hopefully he has found that aggression that he displayed against Lankans.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Look at Virat's field settings and compare it to lulloo Misbah.

 

[Hasan123]

Ishant
Yadav
Kumar
Shami


All of them have a better bowling brain than Wahab

 

[Sandeep]

rssampat: "Brathwaite Chandrika Bravo Mr.Jason Holder must have read them like: Gordon Greenidge Desmond Haynes Sir Issac Alexander Vivian Richards when he made THAT choice to bat first on this track."

Cracked me up )

 

[Sandeep]

Ishant
Yadav
Kumar
Shami

But Wahab has a bigger heart.. that guy really bowls his heart out

Bhuvi will never be a test class bowler . Just doesn't have the pace or the zip to succeed

 

[Hasan123]

But Wahab has a bigger heart.. that guy really bowls his heart out

I would swap his big heart of a bowling brain

 

[Hasan123]

Bhuvi will never be a test class bowler . Just doesn't have the pace or the zip to succeed

Think he can do well in some favourable conditions for him

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Lol WI crazy decision.

 

[Anchorman]

Of course, my stellar internet has now starting acting up the moment I find something useful to stream.

 

[LastManstanding]

West indies batsmen need to get ready for some broken effing arms :clarke

No wickets in the last 3 over, WI are batting really well now.

 

[yasir]

Why did they bat first on this wicket?? [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

[Hasan123]

Blackwood and Samuels are playing some pathetic shots.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Blackwood understands a 30+ score here is extremely priceless and is just swinging for the fences. Not the worst strategy if you are a talentless hack on this pitch.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Need Umesh to work his magic and get a couple more.

 

[LastManstanding]

India wasting the new ball.

Shot boy.

 

[Sin Nombre]

4-6-4 ; Ishant being taken to the cleaners. And dropped.

 

[Sandeep]

Great batting from Blackwood.. need more of this..

 

[Nikhil_cric]

There was no need for that sixth over

 

[BaaliSoda]

One over too many from Ishant in this spell

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Great batting from Blackwood.. need more of this..

You just wanted to drop him...

 

[BaaliSoda]

Is it just my stream or the light has gone bad pretty fast in the ground?

 

[Anchorman]

India will be in to bat before Tea, I reckon.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Time for a bowling change and 4th wicket.

Kohli giving another over to Shami. Needs to bring Umesh and a spinner on and give these two a rest.

 

[Sandeep]

Even Nostradamus would have predicted 0 to be honest

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Your first time watching him? He's one of their better young prospects.

 

[LastManstanding]

Ashwin before Umesh

[Chief Destroyer]

Apart from the hesitation, that was an excellent single.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ashwin before Umesh

I was thinking the same .

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Maiden by Malcolm Yadav. Good start.

 

[Anchorman]

Samuels strikes me as someone who's only good when he wants to be.

 

[Anchorman]

Absolutely brilliant 6 by Blackwood.

Got to the pitch of the ball and walloped Ashwin to mid-wicket.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Trying to hit Ash out of the attack. Good ploy by Windies here.

 

[Sandeep]

Doesn't seem to have good defense. He's attacking everything.. but good if that's working from him..

 

[Chief Destroyer]

That's a terrible outfield. Someone can get seriously injured.

 

[Muhammad10]

Blackwood approaching this situation like McCullum would, while Samuels plays the Misbah role.

 

[Anchorman]

Resilient fightback from West Indies.

Samuels looks adamant that he's not going to throw this away and Blackwood is making sure that the runs keep flowing.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Enough of attacking now. just need the bowlers to bowl a tight line/length and wait for them to implode.

 

[Anchorman]

Mishra on!

 

[LastManstanding]

India's over rate is horrible.

[street cricketer]

Good batting by the two.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Mishra's lack of zip off the pitch is a bit annoying. Especially on this pitch, we needed Jaddu. Skiddy arm balls wouldve been deadly here.

 

[Anchorman]

From 7/3 to 56/3.

Windies have turned a treacherous start into a respectable one on this lively pitch.

 

[Anchorman]

Agree. Jadeja would've been deadly on this track.

Don't expect much from the spinners here.

It's a green track and spinners average over 40 at the Sabina Park.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

GOAT commentating. You can even feel the aura in his voice. What a legend.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Just checked CI, not a bad recovery from WI. Approach of Blacky is impressive.

 

[Anchorman]

Blackwood looks suspect on the short-ball.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

We should have either played 4 seamers and Ashwin or played Jaddu. Not that i expect spinners to do wonders but i have a feeling that jaddu's darts would be harder for Windies batsmen to play.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

That sounds a little racist Roary.

 

[Sandeep]

Indian bowling has gone awry after Blackwood's riposte. Need to hit the right lengths instead of getting carried away.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Blackwood is killing us here.

 

[street cricketer]

Blackwood should show "Talk nah Sunny" written in a piece of paper.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And mishra bowls a no ball as usual when under pressure.

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[#GreenRoars]

Haha nah bro, b+.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wooh ik or

 

[Muhammad10]

This unique approach by the West Indians makes for interesting viewing. Great to see Blackwood backing himself to play to his strengths under massive pressure.

 

[Belawal2014]

What did Sunny G say?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Blacky is playing a T20I innings here But its the best approach.

Yep, smack it if you can't defend it.. it might be the best approach on this pitch..

 

[Belawal2014]

Mishy so mad.

 

[Abdullah719]

Then why is the ball turning a mile in the first session on Day 1?

 

[street cricketer]

What did Sunny G say?

What happened???

Was ripping him apart for his poor technique at the start of his innings.

Didn't get his feet anywhere near the pitch of the ball and was driving with a huge gap between the pad and the bat.

Blackwood says who needs technique when you can score runs?

 

[Muhammad10]

Blackwood played a similarly clutch counter-attacking knock against England last year, in the Test West Indies won.

Spinners are also getting some turn.

Yup. Commies are talking about it surprised as well at the turn present. Probably moisture?

What happened to blacky?

 

[Markhor]

Blackwood is a flashy, dashing counter-punch sort of player. Doesn't always come off, and his temperament for Test cricket is an issue. But he is an exciting batsman to watch.

Sanjay finding ways to irritate Viv as well in the comm box..
