Not sure why there is talk of a declaration. Very risky.
Can't see Windies going at 3.35 runs per over, even if they get close we should be able to see the game out defensively.
FWIW I see them being 225 all out about 4:30pm tomorrow.
I understand the players are disappointed about the ICC's actions in this Test. It's a nonsense, of course, to punish anyone for swearing in frustration at themselves when a boundary is scored of a catch is dropped. And the anomaly comes if the umpires do not understand the language being spoken out there. We all know of one Test team who are major offenders and get away with this…

whatever it is the guy needs to stop makes him look sad probably explain why no one outside sky even wants to use the guy.
really was no need to take a dig at an unnamed team, especially since that team has nothing to do with the charge or not even playing this series or test match.
not sure how that team relates to the umpires stopping swearing in this game.
Who knows Kohli or who ever says it in the indian team, might get a demerit point in the next game for saying benchoad or what ever words they say.
might even be a new policy started from icc last week to stop all kinds of swear words, so what was the need to take a dig at another team.

Don't Indian players use English swear words? I thought English swearing was universal. Maybe typical British parochialism on my part.
I presume the swearing thing is just because of the stump mics being amplified into our living rooms. In the UK, that shouldn't happen pre-watershed, probably in other countries too. I don't think anyone feels swearing out of frustration is a problem for any other reason, so Lloyd is being disingenuous as he must realise that. Solution. Turn off the stump mics. You can have that one ICC.
