Is WI's plan to set a target of 350 by Tea?

luck ran out.


out Caught by Mahmudul Hasan Joy!! The batter has run out of luck. That squared the batter up. Brathwaite looked to defend and got the edge. The ball flew low to the left of the man at second slip. The fielder went to his left, dived low and took it well. Excellent catch. Bangladesh grab another. The skipper goes for 23. Windies in some trouble. Brathwaite c Mahmudul Hasan Joy b Shoriful Islam 23(35)

Bangladesh really pulled one over WI this morning by that declaration. WI players were doing warm ups on the field and then all of a sudden Brathwaite and Louis had to stop and rush back into the pavilion realizing they needed to pad up lol

You are being very kind. Viv would have made Brathwaite cry for that

Athanaze dropped - he need to calm down a bit and stop going for these kind of shots

We mentioned the same problem with him in the first innings. He has either decided that this will be his approach or there is a team strategy in place.

out Bowled!! Top of off and Bangladesh are making this game interesting. What a beauty this is. Angled in on a short of length on off, pitches and leaves a hint, Justin Greaves covered the line on the defence, but the slight away movement did him in, maybe he played inside the line a fraction too much, hits the top of off and Taskin Ahmed is bowling as well as he has even done at the moment. Too good for the first innings centurion. Justin Greaves b Taskin Ahmed 2(6)


WI 100-6

Ok, let's start blaming the head coach for our current predicament.

Come in VOR.

What is West Indies strategy? Score fast?

Bangladesh have taken 4 wickets in the last 7 overs and suddenly this game has gotten interesting. Mind you the lead for West Indies is still 305 and it won't be easy to chase them down but Bangladesh are at least fighting.

Day 4: 2nd Session - West Indies lead by 306 runs

A soft performance by the WI, their batting still needs consistent batters, they should have at lease make Bangladesh chase 350

Should be an easy win for WI especially if they take their catches which are sure to come.
Anything can happen and Bangladesh has made a game of this so far, giving themselves
time to get the runs...But they are not a top tier team and should not pose
big problems to the home team.
But we can never tell.
Had Shakib Al Hasan been around I would have given them a better chance.

I was saying this morning that Taskin bowled with real heart in the 1st Innings and was relentless today. He deserved the 6 wickets - total effort.

I hope Alzarri, Seals, Roach and Shamar take a page out of his book and keep that line and length.

The 1st innings made this safe for WI and probably made them complacent.

Bangla has one bullet in their gun and it was to declare overnight and throw everything. They did excellent with the resources - lets see what their batsmen do now
