*Official* West Indies in South Africa 2022/23

[Starfighter]

Wow this is depressing. Feels like Mayers is pretty much going to do nothing in tests after that fairytale start. Love his bowling though.

Bring back Darren Bravo he can't be worse than Chase

Bravo actually made some runs in the first couple of rounds in the domestic championship.

Brandon King would be another one that should be considered.

 

[Hogey]

At least give Athanaze a go in the 2nd Test.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Blackwood looks a million bucks when he looks to play his shots , incredible six on the up v Jansen

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

I don't like this partnership developing here , runs are flowing

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

What a 50 by Blackwood

 

[trundler]

I'm convinced Da Silva has been disappointing off late to stop me from making any more Da Silva lining puns.

Windies would have won this match if not for Markram's knock.

And if we didn't have such a good pace attack

 

[Calm_profit]

And if we didn't have such a good pace attack

Yeah but his knock was the difference.

Two poor batting teams ..awesome fastbowling though you'll struggle to find a test match this year with so many 90mph bowlers

Were WI just undercooked? Seems very much like their looseness at the top of Day 1 has been the difference in this game.

Lack of practice games is hurting teams everywhere, plus lack of tests ...Kraigg Brathwaite was playing Tests with Chris Gayle and Tagenarine's dad yet he still doesn't have 100 test matches

 

[BazBall21]

Can Blackwood and Holder do it?!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The runs are flowing, all I have is hope.
Rally!

 

[BazBall21]

And I agree that not playing warmup games before a test series is a shame all round.

 

[BazBall21]

Blackwood is talented, just struggles to build an innings.

 

[Calm_profit]

Half the runs are scored and only half is remaining.

I would have bet Windies to win if the target was less than 200 because they have never lost while chasing less than 200.
