Well done West Indies!

Bowling out Oz for 180 after they elected to bat is no easy feat. Now we must fight with our bats. 56/4 ( one being a nightwatchman) is not the worst case scenario, with Chase, King, Hope and greaves still to bat.

Tomorrow will be a fascinating day of cricket.

that was crap batting...plus dropped catches
This will be over in 3 days...maybe 4

Agree re bowling - fielding wasn’t good. Looks like a difficult wicket for runs
, hope we get a lead tomorrow.

Should have bowled them out for 120 or so if we held our catches.

Day 3 at Kensington tends to be good for batting.

I don't expect much daylight between the two teams first innings totals

Thanks for pointing it out.

It is Australia

I am curious when last WI bowled out Ozzies on the opening day of a Test Match...google will tell me

And for sub 200?!

Any other team would take that -


I too hope we get past the 180 and add at least another 150 too.

We still have Batting to come

Well you are right as without Steve Smith Oz looks very vulnerable. Still much credit to our bowlers and had those catches not been dropped we could have dismissed them for 120-150. BK needs to score at least a 50 here and the others follow. I think we can overhaul that target the question is by how much? That could be the difference between a win/ loss.

If we had 4 good bowlers they'd have been bowled out for 120 yes. Alzari bowled shoite and a skipper must have confidence his front line spinner
can come in and be attacking and get wkts after 15 overs. Would've had fresher pacers each spell too. If Warrican doesn't have an impact 2nd innings
and Alzari doesn't make a few runs nor bowl more shoite then we are playing 9 vs 11
