@CaribCricket Great all round performance across the series.

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket Now comes a test for WI. SL will try to get a lead of 250 just before lunch tomorrow. Can WI bat out 2 and a bit sessions, especially as WI tend to be pretty poor in the 4th innings.? Hopefully they can show they have progressed as a batting team!

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket Another two centuries - reifer must get some credit. Improving batting to back up the generally good seam bowling. Just need to up the fielding standards and get a good spinner and WI will definitely be moving up the Test table!

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket A great all round performance. And I take back what I said about Chase!!!!

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket What I like about jangoo is that he does the hard yards. It's not a flashy innings or one where it doesn't matter in the context of the game. It's a tough, hard proper test innings which started in difficult circumstances and shows his mental toughness

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket Man I been chase's biggest critic but have to give him his dues for this innings. Just need more of this from him and then I will shut up!!!!!

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket All the wickets given away so far today. I suppose that explains why all the batsmen average is in the 20s. It's a shame as it's a good batting wicket now.

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket It's now or never for Chase to stand up, especially with Hope sidelined. I tend to favour the never side of the argument!!!!!

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket Oh man, Carty needs to rotate strike more, otherwise too much pressure on other batsmen

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CupsantSports @CaribCricket Yep real talent but needs proper coaching and advice so he doesn't fall away like so many others

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@samingosailing @windiescricket Mate, course I know what's happening!!!! But I am questioning why england got out in 2 days and WI and SA were stuck for ages. Looks like the ICC have different priorities for different countries.

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket Some real positives but unfortunately the bowling was never strong enough to win against the stronger sides. No one really capable of controlling the game and taking wickets.

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket 3 questions: why is Chase ever picked for any WI team? Can WI's bowling improve, as it's their weakness? And why does de Kock always batter the WI bowling in every format?!

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket A fit, leanish (!) hetmeyer, showing that there is a proper batsman behind what he had turned into in the last few years. The question should be asked whether he wants to play the longer forms of cricket.

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket That was a great win with performances from virtually everyone. You can't ask for more than that. What was really good was the strike rotation which kept the score ticking over.

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket If a side doesn't field and catch well, then they will always be facing problems

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket Off the least number of overs to chase 200 in T20 , for full members., the west indies have been the bowling side 5 times out of the first 10 times!!!!!! Tells you something

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket Unfortunately WI lack a wicket taking bowler in white ball cricket so will never win consistently in the big tournaments. The batting is there but the bowling..........

[Ilyas Malick @malick_ily59457]

@CaribCricket A lot of raw talent there but they still need a lot of work. Bish was right in commentary saying that they need to be mentored/ helped by the WI rather than leaving them to be managed/mishandled by their local territories!
