WI 7/1

0.2 Tanvir Ahmed to Simmons, OUT, gone! second ball, caught at second slip, Simmons is sucked in to the drive from the crease as Tanvir bowls a full delivery close to off stump, it is too early in the innings and the feet don't move much, and the outside edge flies low to second slip's left who takes a neat sharp catch moving quickly to his left, Tanvir is delighted what a day he is having

LMP Simmons c Taufeeq Umar b Tanvir Ahmed 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Hi all, I reach again.
Kraigg Clairmonte Brathwaite looks to be playing with a lot of time.
He seems to defend positively and although he has an open stance he is side-on by the time the ball gets to him. I like the way he looks. All the best for his test career.
West Indies 12/1 (3.3 ov)
Condolences to the relatives and friends of rhjn a passionate cricket-lover, who gifted me my first cricket bat.

Hi Howzdaz?

KB looks real good....Hope he gets good start to give him some confidence.

KB gone for 15... WI 22/2

5.4 Wahab Riaz to Brathwaite, OUT, gone, Brathwaite's debut innings is over with a loose drive outside off stump that ends up in second slip's hands, with that open stance on leg stump, he had to reach out for this one slanted full and wide outside off, the bat seemed to close a bit in his hands, and the outside edge flew high to second slip's left, who brought it down in the first attempt, and in the second, hung on to the ball even as he went down on the ground, excellent catch

KC Brathwaite c Taufeeq Umar b Wahab Riaz 15 (21b 2x4 0x6) SR: 71.42

Ah well, kiss of death on Kraigg Clairmonte Brathwaite. nevertheless his first knock has been pleasing to watch. The scoreboard looks a horror show.

Simmons out for a brainless duck....

Brathwaite just doesn't look ready for Test cricket yet. He needs at least another season in FC cricket, because he has some technical deficiencies that the Indians would eat for breakfast.

Sorry, but we need Gayle and Barath back opening the batting, if we're to stand any chance against India....

30.3 Mohammad Hafeez to Bravo, OUT, Mohammad Hafeez strikes, if there is no Devon Smith, he takes out Darren Bravo, who had survived for a long time against Saeed Ajmal, more effort on the ball, more grip, more turn, more bounce, and a surprised Bravo edges it a nice height for Shafiq to accept the simple catch at second slip

DM Bravo c Asad Shafiq b Mohammad Hafeez 24 (87b 4x4 0x6) SR: 27.58
