43 runs needed per session for the next 7 sessions.

No one should get out making a big shot. Easy and simple with plenty time

300 is a bridge too far. 250 was gettable

99 match veteran got set up so easy?

Especially when you have a walking wicket as an opener

The failed experiment of Kraigg playing 100 test ends at 99.
No use to trying that any more.
Best we had given Roach that farewell test lol

Shit technique. Leaning over with hands low when playing the shot instead of staying balanced and getting on top of the ball.

Yep. He never kept it down. Lack of technique.

These guys really do not know how to bat....to build an innings of note.
They still have that T20 mentality where you really do not have to think to play an innings. Just throw ball at bat and hope something connects.

It is pitiful that after all these years we have not had a Gomes or Chanderpaul batter in the test lineup.
Athanaze is probably the only one close to that, although not close enough.
However he is on teh outside looking in....

You could hear Greg Blewett almost feeling sorry and dismay at the approach - almost as if he is begging the WI batsmen to show competency at this level

Campbell really makes bowlers come alive which also hurts his batting partner if they get on song.

Campbell cant bat better than that which is why folks say he should not be there.

We down to 250 now albeit for the loss of Brathwaite.

I like the approach by Carty to play balls on merit and take the simple singles.

Anytime I see Campbell facing, I am not too confident though but I am hoping he could somehow hold out till stumps.

Same thing we are saying. Why is Campbell playing that kind of shot?

No brains at all. These 2 openers look like this could be their last match
