A good ball, was just a gutless display, we had a chance to win a series after 23 years and blew it

Not true. Hope got an unplayable ball. Tage got a good ball. Hodge got a suspect decision. It is also wrong to look at each ball in isolation. With the wicket turning square and sustained pressure will affect the batsmen. Blame the board. Poor leadership at the very top.

It would be good if the batting coach tells the batters to play more on the front foot when they are facing the spinners. Hope made that ball he got into an unplayable ball because he was on the back foot

The wicket is turning, but the turn is not vicious, there is no conviction in the batsmen to say there

Asking for a friend: If the "inspirational" batting coach was responsible for West Indies scoring 400+ runs ( including Jangoo's epic knock) who was responsible for West Indies scoring 27 & 117 runs all- out?

Here come the usual suspects after a West Indian loss. 2-1-1 in 2026.
