Yes, I have commented on this apparent tendency in recent games. Anyway given the overnight lead of 240, I do not think that India can lose this game. A draw is possible as is a West Indies loss.

Simmons and Sarwan out cheaply....

They should both be dropped from the Test side, for their own good, starting with this final Test in Dominica. Simmons should just concentrate on playing ODI cricket, while Sarwan needs to go back to Guyana, and play four-day cricket, to regain his confidence. He shouldn't be picked for the Windies again, until he's recovered his form with the bat.

Chasing 281. West Indies 55/3. Sorry to bore you: India can't lose this game! West Indies can lose! A draw is still possible but it will take Chanderpaul and Samuels to do it. Ah well.

Shiv's given out to an absolutely shocking decision by the umpire! How is that lbw?

This is why we need UDRS in these Test matches. I can't believe that in this day and age, we're ignoring technology, and allowing this potentially match-changing blunders to ruin matches.
