KARACHI, Pakistan -- West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin who scored a crucial half century for the West Indies in the first innings of the third Test match against Pakistan spoke with the media after day three.
West Indies opener Daren Ganga, who resolutely held up the team's batting with an unbeaten half century, spoke with the media after the second day of the third Test against Pakistan in Karachi.
The first day of the third and final Test match against Pakistan in Karachi was a pretty good day for the West Indies. The pitch is horrendous for Test cricket because of the extremely slowness and lowness of it.
It is the worst Test pitch I have ever seen so far in my career because the ball was almost rolling on the very first day of the Test match.
He jigged forward, he rocked back, he danced down the pitch. He stroked, he hammered, he caressed. He drove elegantly, he pulled savagely, he cut delicately. He timed the ball beautifully, he threaded the gaps exquisitely, he cleared the fences effortlessly. He was majestic, glorious, magnificent.
I don't know about you, but I think that Ramnaresh Sarwan is a young, gifted cricketer with a great future. For this reason, I do not see his omission from the second Test against Pakistan as a bleak blot on his career.
Rather, I think if he handles it positively, it can be a pivotal point, the stage at which he begins to reflect carefully on his role and his ability and applies himself more diligently to developing his game.
