I've been watching three hours straight and would have to agree. It can be painful watching cricket on the sub-continent but this is a joke with not much prospect of a result. Stokes/Blackwood was the liveliest it got. Until now, fair play Lawrence! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 I enjoyed some of Leach , when he was getting some spin, but it's a hard watch . I agree about the pitches. Not much happening, and now they realise they can just drop anchor and wait, it's a war of attrition . I doubt the pitch for the 3rd Test will be much livelier.

Robbored Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Another flat uninspiring wicket, not much of an advert for test cricket with batsman dominating. It’s pretty crap tbh Hopefully the third test will have a more a more equal wicket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be shocked if that’s the tactics after we batted like that. Assuming that Root wants to make sure it’s 100% a draw minimum so he can set very attacking fields and not worry about conceding boundaries 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as well as he’s batted if that doesn’t tell you what the pitch was like…… The cynic in me thinks the WICB has wanted all the tests to go 5 days to make some cash from the large number of tourists.

Hope Grenada proves me wrong. It could easily be that the Windies don’t back their batsmen to score the runs needed on a more bowler friendly pitch. I don’t think if we see a Grenada pitch similar to the first two that it will prove they’ve done it for profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I thought there were some good psychological victories in that test. The WI will know that have the tooks to hurt them with bat and ball, our confidence should be very high for the next test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think batting first has been a mistake in both tests so far (I think we won both tosses?). We`d be better off getting the bowlers at them first IMO.
