Will India be all out at the end of 2nd day play?

Thu, Oct 2, '25 at 8:27 PM
Or will they be still batting going into the 3rd day?

I really hope it’s the former

They have saved the follow-on. So no.

It would be a miracle if we bowl them out on the second day!!!

Funny enough Gill, Rahul, & maybe Jadeja would be the only concern the rest are inexperienced and can be a bit complacent. The real problem is that WI only bowler is Seales!!! Without Shamar or Alzari to back him up he doesn’t have a partner to bowl with!!!

Layne and our spinners may surprise them and us.

I like Layne and torn about him being selected.

I hate that we constantly put our young players in positions to fail. It’s so often a sink or swim situation that faces them.

You’re supposed to put your players in positions to succeed.

I get that we have injuries and it sucks, but is like putting Jewel Andrew to open and sending Kevlon Anderson in to open against the Aussies.

Dat eh right man

I made a bet with a friend of mine , WI wont take 10 wickets for the 2 match series. Reason being, Seales is all by himself and already looks jaded. India will bat twice in this series, declaring in both inns.

My fear is that they might just declare their 1st innings closed somewhere between lunch and tea and leave us to survive the day.

We haven't lost a game in 2 days in quite a while, and I would hate for such a thing to occur on $ammy's watch.

Yep totally agree it’s unfair to the youths who will be so jaded they might not recover!!!

My biggest problem with Sammy is that we were sold this dream that we were finally going to get the best players selected in all formats instead we’re back to the same old homie picks rolleyes

I was really looking forward to seeing Pooran, Rutheford, Shepherd ect. playing Test cricket even Hetmyer I would’ve sent to open to try to beat the shine off the ball lol.

All we ended up with was one person with power and players retiring and still refusing to play for WI!!!

I have finally figured it out. In order for the board members to continue as they have, cuts have to be made below to keep the status quo. One coach. Working towards players for all formats, smaller group of employees.


Cricket be damned!

Seems I should have awoken earlier, you'll up since and couldn't buy a wicket.
