West Indies v India, 1st Test, Antigua, Day 3 - Pathetic batting display by the West Indies


If a batsman wish to occupy the crease with ease, the Antigua track is perfect for them. Until and unless, a batsman play rash shots, it will be quite hard for the bowlers to fetch wickets on the Antigua track. But we are talking about West Indies here, for whom, instilling frustration among their ardent followers have become a normality since the start of the last decade.

I agree, this is an inexperienced West Indies unit, but batsmen like Kraig Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels and Blackwood are good if not the best. You just need to be a good willow-wielder to cash in on such tracks by being patient enough. But, not surprisingly, the typical Calypso collapse showed up to kill the interest at a rapid pace. It was a poor batting display.

The West Indies don’t feel and respect the blessing of having fans like us who still root for them despite their continuous poor show.

Thank You
