West Indies vs Australia, 2nd Test - Grenada

It would seem now that WI pacers are hunting as a pack.

Nice,y done
84/3 - one more before lunch

22.2
Jayden Seales to Green, no run, chance and Campbell has dropped it, they missed 7 chances in the first Test, the count starts here - full and wide of off, lured Green into the drive and he couldn't keep it down, went at a good height to the right of cover, Campbell got both hands and it burst out

Can't bat, cant catch...what purpose is Campbell serving?

22.6
Jayden Seales to Green, out Caught by Roston Chase!! West Indies go to lunch on a high - that missed chance hasn't cost them more than a single, another loose drive to a wide awayswinger, another edge and Chase has taken a good catch, right across at gully. Green was very tenattive to that line and length and it has caused his downfall. His feet hardly moved as he went chasing with hard hands

Green c Roston Chase b Jayden Seales 26(37) [4s-4]

Trying to make the Test last past 3 days.

Head gawn
Ct Hope b Shamar

That was tight. Did we get one back?

Seems like ball bounced into the glove....

26.3
Shamar Joseph to Head, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Shamar Joseph gets the big fish. Head is gone as it's a clean catch by Shai Hope. Was a shortish delivery outside off and Head tried to fend it away. Got somewhat surprised due to the steep bounce and ended up getting an outside edge. Hope extends his left arm out and plucks out a well-judged low catch, just inches above the ground. Enough fingers underneath the ball and the third umpire reckons it's a clean catch. Australia have lost half their side with plenty of overs remaining in the opening day of this Test. But they can't afford to be complacent as the Australian lower-middle order batters made the difference in the previous Test. Can't afford to take them lightly by any means

To much bad deliveries after lunch

Anderson Phillip to Carey, no run, dropped! That's a regulation catch which Shai Hope has put down. West Indies continue to be poor in the field. Short ball banged into the surface, Carey stands tall and plays the ramp, does not get the elevation to clear Hope who jumps up and gets his hands all messed up. The ball hits his fingertips and drops wide of the slip fielder. How costly will that be?

What is it about these negative captains, never know when to really press home an advantage.
We have 5 seamers yet he puts himself on and then takes away almost the entire slip cordon .
Straight out of the JH book of failed captaincy.

Run out chance goes abeggibg

Can somebody tell chase this is a test match, managing the bowling attack and the field as if it was a limited overs game.

Justin Greaves to Carey, SIX, hammered, too short from Greaves, he doesn't have the pace to trouble Carey and the ball simply sat up to be smacked - Carey picks the length early, swivels across and then dismisses it over square leg for a maximum

51.2
Justin Greaves to Carey, out Caught by Brathwaite!! That's a sitter and Greaves has broken through for the West Indies - short of a good length and angling across the left-hander, Carey stayed on the front-foot as he shaped for the pull, doesn't get anywhere near the middle of the bat and spoons a simple catch to Brathwaite at mid-wicket. The shoulders were beginning to droop, a big wicket in the contest of restricting Australia to a reasonable score.
