Well, fair enough I suppose. But watching him now he's clearly got ability. I like the way he's playing Murali. Doing a KP by making the most of his height to get forward to cover the spin.
Anyway, 235/7, Windies could avoid the follow-on yet.

I blame the English language tbh.

I doubt we will enforce the follow-on, especially with only four bowlers in the side. 3 and a half with Thurshara one of them. Bat for two sessions and set them 400 odd to chase.Be a massive anti-climax if Sri Lanka dismiss the Windies for less than another 25 & don't enforce the follow-on now.
Really daft run-out to end Benn's innings too.

Surely it must be confusing for Sri Lankans as well, when people can be known by different names? Does everyone have an 'official' surname or do names have different structures anyway, like in India?I blame the English language tbh.

Benn looked pretty poor in my eyes. He played a couple of nice shots, but generally he looked very awkward at the crease. Looped catches around, kept closing the face for no apparent reason. His height must have something to do with it.

Wait, wasn't Thushara a 95mph pace bowling wonderkid three days ago?

Yes, but he could still break down in 1,2,3. Just doesn't have the build to go with pace he can bowl.

I thought so too.

Given how patient the batting has been at times, West Indies sure haven't learnt anything from Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan batsmen were patient but managed to take advantage of loose balls too. Aside from Sarwan, no one has really been able to do that. There were flashes from Chanders, Hinds and Ramdin though.

If he can't bowl at 90+mph without breaking down, he simply cannot be considered a 90+mph bowler. He was being hailed as quicker than Taylor, and while Taylor hasn't had a very quick match thus far, Mirando doesn't look anywhere near as quick. This considering that Taylor can bowl at 90mph without breaking down.
Mirando is not a fast bowler. Fast-medium at best.

Jerome Taylor is clearly the best batting fast bowler West Indies has produced in recent years. This considering that Bradshaw was a left-arm spinner.
Taylor has improved so much over the last year.

Calling him a spinner? He was a damn good spinner.
