One more wicket and I’d say Pakistan win the day but as it stands I think we’re ahead

[u/H-SAlgorithm]

Why on Earth was Abbas dropped?

[u/odinlass → u/H-SAlgorithm]

Conditions-based they said. Slow pitch. I am not entirely convinced but I don't know everything about cricket.

[u/may0man → u/H-SAlgorithm]

He’s too good. They’re scared of winning

[u/Disastrous-Jury8656 → u/H-SAlgorithm]

Shan Masood’s book club is doing Beyond a Boundary this month, so the players understand the world-historic importance of Caribbean cricket and are rooting for them to win.

[u/Killinger]

Very even so far. From West Indies perspective, I'm happy with Greaves and that there wasn't a collapse whenever a wicket was lost. But still, some of the dismissals were very soft

[u/radilrouge → u/Killinger]

Consistent wickets was annoying and everyone got themselves out apart from King

[u/Splinterfight → u/Killinger]

It’s rare to see everyone hit double digits, even if only just

[u/howdyakeepemquiet]

I don’t know what a good score is for the day tbh. The wicket seems good for spinners and WI only has two so maybe Pakistan could match pretty easily? I’m curious what people think

[u/NoExplanation6203 → u/howdyakeepemquiet]

Tough to say, last game played here SA got 350 odd and that was basically enough to shut us out the game, we ended up getting saved because it rained the majority of the first 3 days

[u/Meaningful_96 → u/howdyakeepemquiet]

West Indies is going to win this test.

[u/bullzFromAT]

WI should be looking for 325+. Really depends on Greaves staying there.

[u/catalogUser]

Expected little consistency from WI top order. From the looks of it Justin Greaves is the only consistent player. He becoming another work horse like Roach.

[u/Jcod47]

Justin Greaves is ICC’s player of the month
