*Official* Afghanistan vs West Indies 2019

[vcs]

Finally a Test match that looks like it's going to be a good contest. Been some blowouts recently.

Unlucky for Hetty..that ball was clearly gonna miss leg stump

Rashids appeals are atrocious. Really need DRS in matches when he's bowling - he puts insane pressure on umpires

Reiffel is a rubbish umpire so...

Add no DRS into the equation, and it feels like a test match at Bourda.

Yeah, he was begging ffs, Real cringeworthy stuff.

Rahkeem will have to come and save us from this collapse.

Would love to see him spank a fifty

Brooks making me taste it so far. Better than I expected

Rashid looks frustrated as he takes his cap from the umpire

Good for the *******

He struggled massively against Bumrah but looked a decent player of spin in the one innings where he managed to last for a while.

He is, there was a match against Zimbabwe a few years a go where he gave some hideous decisions.

Does seem better against spin than pace from what I have seen, both in the innings you are talking about and domestically for Barbados, but still exceeding my expectations of him by a fair way.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The Bajans are stamping their authority in this match now. Brooks is battling like one-third of the 3 W's, while Dowrich another one-third of the triple threat trio.

I remember that game, not a great performance. But domestically he has usually been one of the least worst umpires, although that really isn't saying much.


The thought of John Ward as an international umpire should be enough to send shivers down anybody's spine

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Dowrich is one of the few guys who puts a very high price on his wicket in the team

The match is being played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.

Is that the longest name of any test match ground?

The standard of umpiring in the domestics has always shocked me. Seems producing quality umpires isn't that easy.

Definitely beats the Shiek Abu Zayed Chowdury International Cricket Stadium (I got this wrong i think).

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Scores are level. The spinners are bowling bread and butter. Saltfish and Ackee.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

We have taken the lead.
