that was a great knock. The wicket was flatter after lunch. If the wicket remains flat like this the most likely result will be a draw. Da Silva , Hodge and Chase are looking for big scores. I expect at least one of the three to get a hundred. King is also looking for his first century. Jangoo is good enough to expect another big score from and it will take something special to remove Greaves in the second innings. Wickham will try to build on his first innings start. Conclusion, I expect West Indies to finish strong here with the bat.

We can only hope. West Indies are too unpredictable. It would not surprise me if we lose this match.
Our cricket has not shown the ability for our players to be strategic in our approach to the game.
The captain seems to adopt a robotic approach. We need to approach the game strategically using stats and commit to the game plan.
We seriously lack this ability.
Having said this, there is no way Seales should have bowled the penultimate over before lunch replacing Warrican to boot and to compound it all, Chase left himself on.
If anything, in terms of prizing out the #8 batsma with pace...Seales should have replaced Chase and bowled the last over.
It's really the function of our brainstrust to map out a strategic direction and ensure players stick to the game plan.
