shive is there and hopefully samulkes is ketching himself. gayle at the top wud make a world of difference in confidence to the batting. he will give the rest confidence.

it seem realy important that gayle be re-introduced to the side
Don't need Gayle anymore!!.. let the youngsters continue to learn and take this team into a new dawn, when it's all said and done i'd bet my house that Brathwaite will have a much bigger impact on the Test side than Gayle ever did.

A good innings by Samuels, but a pity he didn't go on to three figures....

Brafit probably will but not now. right now he is not quite ready. he sitll a teenager and need a bit of growth.

if gayle was in this side they wud never have capitulated so easily first time. I see that now. we already have 3 newbies in the side. thats enuff. we can protect braffit for another year or 2

man how did samuels get LBW so silly after batting so long? he shud have been seeing the ball huge!

and why samuels stays in his crease so much. he have to go forward sometimes...meet the ball at the pitch and drive or defend.

he lets the damm ball pitch and turn pinning him in the blasted crease. I am tired of that with samuels!

hayenes an' dem not telling him that to let the ball pitch and do its work is dangerous..to try and stop it..or meet it..soon as possible before it bites?

He is ready!!.. the boy has got two 50s in in his last three tests!!.. and he's still only 18, the more experience he gets THE BETTER HE WILL BECOME, Gayle too gready and doesn't want to play Test cricket anymore, so we're better off leaving that skunt behind and build for the future.

All out! India win by an innings, and that's the series....

The final Test is just for pride.

With Shiv due to retire in a couple of years, the future looks very dark for this team.
