It's criminal these 2 don't average 45 in Test cricket.

Both look so good at the wicket. We can only hope that age and experience have made them better cricketers.

They need to bat all day and into tomorrow

Well, they are playing at their home ground! Should we expect less???

Home or away facing this bowling attack on a dodgy wicket for me it counts higher than playing at home

I expect nothing less than improvements in both their averages. This is typical and augers well for WI batting

I have said that Chase and Hope should always be in the mix for test cricket. But we are always looking for the next bright object.

We compare them with players from other countries instead of comparing them with the alternatives. They are much better than the alternatives.

To be fair, they don’t play much red ball cricket…..so that explains it.

Was excited when both were brought back. And so far I am encouraged
