West Indies v India, 2nd Test, Port of Spain, 20-24 July, 2023

Hopefully the WIs will do a bit better in this one.

Not happening.

India 6/373

They bowled them out for 440… right in the game! (If they had Sobers, Richards, Lara et al. in their prime…)

I don't understand why Kyle Mayers isn't playing ... lost to T20? Injured? They can't have too many players averaging >30 with the bat and < 20 with the ball after > 20 Tests ...

If Kohli's scoring runs, the pitch is deader than a dodo.

Reasonable fist so far by the Ganjas.

Not a fan, t?

He’s averaging 33 this decade so far, even with that knock included…

Cheers, beams.

And he's a bit of a prat.

A few years ago he looked to have a decent shot at matching Tendulkar’s 100 international hundreds across all formats, but they’ve certainly dried up for him since.

Australian-esque effort by the Windies tail. They went from 4-208 to all out 255.

Poor.

Follow-on avoided, though that’s rarely meaningful in this day and age.

Incidentally, Kohli could still be on for the 100 hundreds, if he gets 5 a year and plays until 40… but ODIs are likely to fall away in number for a while after the World Cup, and not sure if he will commit to another cycle in that format.

Borefest because Windies so outclassed.

Neve thought I’d be saying it in my lifetime for a game with WI. Against India. But here we are.

Another team saved by the rain. Port of Spain? More like Port of Northern England.
