India tour of the Caribbean, Aug 3 - Sept 3

[Durhamfootman]

A thump on the head from Shami, and that must have sparked something, because suddenly he's creamed one through midwicket and then flogged Shami over the top for six

inner demon has been released, seemingly

Roach hits another six

Ishant spoils the fun and the game is over

100 ao

[Durhamfootman]

second 10th wicket half century partnership of the day

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bit of a shame. After WI beat England earlier in the year.

[GGAS]

Bumrah is too good. WI do seem prone to falling down when they're faced with scoreboard pressure.

[mikesiva]

It was another pathetic batting display in the final innings...West Indies 100 all out.

Roach 38

Bumrah five wickets for seven runs!
Ishant 3-31
Shami 2-13

[mikesiva]

Keemo Paul has recovered from his ankle injury and has been drafted back into the West Indies squad straightaway for the second and final Test against India in Kingston, replacing Miguel Cummins, the man who had filled in for him in Antigua.

[mikesiva]

Another toss where Holder puts the opposition in, and they then go on to make runs....

India 264-5

Kohli 76
Agarwal 55

Holder 3 wickets
Cornwall 1
Roach 1

[The Professor]

It's just all too easy for Kohli against the West Indies.

[Arthur Crabtree]

India not getting huge scores, but the moderate numbers they are getting are still too much for WI.

[mikesiva]

India 416 all out

Vihari 111

Holder 5-77
Cornwall 3-105

Now, how will the WI batsmen bat?

[GGAS]

Cornwall is some unit

[Arthur Crabtree]

Now, how will the WI batsmen bat?
:hide

Even worse than you thought.

Hat-trick for Bumrah.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Ishant's first Test fifty. What a blow for WI.

His average is 7.9. Can't suppose many with a worse average will have a fifty.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Only two have fifties with a worse average. Glenn McGrath and Bob Blair of NZ.

[backfootpunch]

Some seriously good bowlers around at the moment

Hopefully the likes of bumrah, Rabada and cummins can stay fit
