  1. Nothing will change same ole same ole with this bunch of misfits

  2. Am I the only person to get a sense that ian bishop is not exactly enjoying the conversation?

  3. Best batting approach in test cricket is to build ur innings and then play the strokes.
    Bazzball will only work on flat pitches and against weaker attacks.

  4. Luckily for cricket fans, Ashes starts tomorrow and thus it overlaps with this test. So, we got the option of watching world class cricket played in England compared to woeful cricket played in WI.

  5. Need to Step up and be Consistent

  6. Tage Chandapaul Bratwaite vice captain and the Whole Batsmen along with 4 Pace Bowlers like Fireworks

  7. You'll keep on blaming the pitch west indies can't stay and bat plus the bolwing is like it is from the school yard

  8. Wont matter what wicket is prepared for this lot, they'll still lose the 2nd test..

  9. Pitch will only come in to play when u pick better batsman than Blackwood- Reifer and better bowler than Holder- Roach.

  10. The Wicket that was prepared by the West Indies Curator for the first Test, ensured that they were decimated by the Indians who have the best spinners in the World. Pace has always been the strength of the West Indies. Very poor management by the West Indies board.

  11. Bishop dont have a clue as to what to say .Afraid to rock the boat .

  12. We Need Old Windies Back.. Periodt 😡

  13. Athanaze looks like a really talented batsman who does not only have a solid defence but showed that he has the skill and heart to take on world class spinners like Ashwin and Jadeja.Exciting prospect.

  14. The WI lost that badly because the WI Cricket Board got caught being negligent, the pitch preparation should have been better supervised and tested. Most ground-staffs in the Caribbean do not have the technical know-how to prepare a specific type of pitch.

  15. I am from Bihar..I wanna play for westindies….I can bat whole day…and I bowl left arm spin

  16. It doesnt really matter…there is a shortage of talent.

  17. Imagine a new person watches the Ashes and says Test cricket is so amazing….and then they watch West Indies vs India 😵

  18. Mr Bishop has been so sensitive to the troubles in West Indies cricket for the longest time. He knows that they don't have the means to compete but always guarded the image of West Indies cricket. A great ambassador to the Carribean.

  19. 1st comnent and like😊😊
