@imusic

the word “hit” and the name tagenarine changerpaul are not compatible

Man blocked, angled & deflected 52 runs off his bat....as much as I think Tage should not be there.... a fighting 52 is still a 52 after all is considered in the grand scheme of this entire match thus far....

I will assess his performance over the course of the series and see if I still believe he shouldn't be there or worth sticking with..... with the consideration that this is an AWAY series in tough conditions.....

Remember... you can't make runs sitting in the pavilion......

Tage showed how, once you stay in the middle, the runs will come.... albeit, drop by drop....

Without his defiant half century... it would've easily been an entire team score under 100.....

Well played to Shai.... he's getting better and better.....

Stop riling up the natives...😎

How are your civil engineering courses progressing...?

@Jumpstart

A man makes 52 off 169 deliveries at the same time 3 BATSMEN make 1 run off 13 deliveries but you focus on the man who survived 169 deliveries.

Your timing is off bro.

"I will assess his performance over the course of the series and see if I still believe he shouldn't be there or worth sticking with..... with the consideration that this is an AWAY series in tough conditions....."

Please do same for all batsmen.

@Dukes

I totally agree with you, but where were you when the same jumpy and the musicman went after the last batsman who batted similarly to tage.

@mikesiva

It does highlight our problem. Do we have enough good players to come good if some fail?

The rest of the scores are pretty bad.

@tc1

1 hundred in 40 innings and 1 50 in 17 innings makes it better? If Tage doesn't produce runs he will rightfully be dropped!!!

Are you saying players are above WI cricket??? Isn't that what got us here in the first place???

Tagenarine Chanderpaul was the only current test batsman with an average near 30 before the match.

He may not be very good but he is certainly among the best of the weak bunch that make up the West Indies test batsmen in the current era.

Good knock of 50 made in harsh conditions

Hope this experience leads to more success.

@Trex

Ironic……or maybe more accurately…..predictable…….that he eventually got out while actually playing a shot.

@imusic

Don’t most batsmen get out while playing a shot!😝

@StumpCam

LOL

Musicman, who prides himself on elaborate theories, stumbles over the obvious.😀

@imusic

that he eventually got out while actually playing a shot.

Yes....a west indian brainless shot

@imusic

Tage was involved in the 2 highest partnerships of the innings......

90 (199) w/Hope

& 34 (76) w/Imlach

the next highest?

17 (74) Roach & Imlach

As you can tell.... blocking, poking and prodding have some advantages as well....... 😎
