Roach has fallen completely apart. where the hell is Gibbo?
the westindian bowling is too weak. westindies cannot afford sammy as the fourth bowler and first change. the drop off in quality is enormous.
India is going to kill this bowling. in IIndia all we will have is Fidel. Sehwag mus' be lickign his chops

Well this just proves that this is a very good batting wicket and Tanim Iqbal will be a key wicket tomorrow. I've always been a fan of his after watching him single-handily take England's bowling apart in the early part of the English-summer, a few years ago.
The bowling has missed Ravi Rampaul in this test match, he's been our best bowler in the last year or so and his presence will be vital during the India tour. I'm not expecting miracles with India's batting line-up, but it will be even tougher without him (if that's possible).
The bowlers will have to make a collective effort to bowl out the Banglas tomorrow. Roach's rhythm appears to have gone and should only bowl in short fast spells. Luckily we have alot of runs to play with. Edwards blows hot and cold, Sammy is a harmless steady-eddy with the hope that the batsman will make a mistake, Samuels has to try and be more accurate to create some pressure and i feel Bishoo will be the most key of all.

We're still very much on top and only one team can win it from here (even in the first test on day one when Bang had an even better road to play on they never got above 300) so i hope the boys go at them hard tomorrow, when you look at the patterns we've tended to get take wickets quickly when we've returned the next day, second day of the first test we got 5/95 and in their first innings in this test we got 3/27 , Tamim doesn't really need to be the key, as long as we keep taking wickets around him it doesn't matter, get Rahim and Hasan early tomorrow and it's game over regardless of what Tamim does.
Roach shouldn't go to India imo, he just looks totally devoid of confidence, and it's strange because i thought he'd got hos groov back after he went to county cricket and took some wickets but obviously that was false hope!!
, we're better off sending Pascal or Gabriel to India, at least they'd be hungry and keen to impress.
