West Indies v Bangladesh, 1st Test, Kingston, 5-9 September, 2014

Unbeaten ton to Brathwaite at Stumps Day 1. With Shiv there, this could be 550+.

A test match is one day in and its thread is not even Rikkied. Dark days indeed.....

Hello Henry

A thread can only be Rikkied if it exists. Poster skully only created this one within the past 20 mins or so.

I note WideWally queried the lack of a Test thread in the WI v BD ODI thread. Perhaps he could've posted a Test thread instead.

Fromage, I rarely start threads as I am a very shy person who doesn't like the limelight.

Although , I must admit, my thread on Tarsiers was a winner. Have you read it?

That Wally. What a wag.

This WW thread is full of winners

Double to Brathwaite in a run affected Day 2. Still, looks like pretty turgid stuff from the Windies.

Soft Shiv special ton coming up too.

Shiv is really crawling against the Banglas. Surely they will declare and try to enforce a result if weather is going to be a factor.

Brathwaite is the guy that Stacky said couldn't bat at all.

Terrible innings from Shiv.

Back to the batting 'pace' of the early 70s. The whole NZ v WI series of 1971-2 was played like this.

Windies collapsing

Michelle on debut for Taijul Islam

Well done to Taijul. These Bangles stick at their task.

Crabby average hunting Shiv must've been pissed with Ramdin for declaring him with him only an hour from another ton.

Still, it all went to shit after that for the Bangers. 2 days to go, hard to see them avoiding yet another Test innings loss.

Bangles getting rinsed....

Bangers making a better fist of I2. Wickie Rahim continues his good I1 form (48*) with 68* in 2nd. They need rain to get out of this one. With 5 wickets left they still need 50 to make the Ganjas bat again.

What's a possible winning lead for the Bangers ... 120?

10% of that.

10 wkts, ay? May has well have been an innings loss.
