West Indies vs Bangladesh, 1st Test -Antigua

Why is Athanaze playing reverse sweeps?

Does he not understand that a 4th wicket at this time is not something WI needs?

Louis needs to talk to Athanaze. Another big shot that sky up to long off

Now another one dropped. Athanaze needs a slap at the back of his head

100 up

In reply to Acid

He must still be in white ball mode. SMH.

100 runs in 50 overs

Sloooooowwww

In reply to Acid

His approach seems a bit premeditated. i remember he played an innings where we attacked by sweeping the bowlers. I think he may need to assess differently instead of taking this route. Play the situation.

In reply to Yardman_83

Agreed. This is only the 2nd session. Hopefully the coaches have a chat with him during the tea break

Tea 116/3
Louis 71*

Athanaze still living a charmed life but he is still in the middle.

In reply to Yardman_83

Lived a charmed life for sure

Onto 59 now - hopefully he can continue to push on

In reply to Acid

Athanaze is slowly (quickly) catching up on Louis.

In reply to Yardman_83

Louis might need to put away that pull until after he has made his century...

In reply to Yardman_83

3 singles gets him there...why swipe ??

wi 224-4.

Louis caught 97

224/4

Not sure why he ran down the pitch

In reply to Yardman_83

Louis with a brain freeze. it felt like he either was being starved of the strike or lost his concentration... Disappointing that after having played so patiently he would decide to play that stroke at this time...

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Mikyle Louis, out Caught by Shahadat Hossain!! The milestone played on his mind too much and has plotted his downfall here. He tried to give the charge, got too close to the ball and looked to heave it. But he got an outside edge and was an easy chance for the man at slip. Mikyle Louis wanted to bring up his ton but alas that won't happen. Gets a pat on the back as he trudges back dejected from one of the Bangladeshi players. He had 100 there for the taking. But he has thrown it away. The cross batted heave was never a good idea. Mehidy Hasan Miraz has struck gold here. Mikyle Louis c Shahadat Hossain b Mehidy Hasan Miraz 97
