OK Folks:

* WI coach Otis Gibson is hoping for a quick Kensington wicket.

* The big question is which team's pacers would benefit more from a quick wicket----NZ or WI ?

* New Zealand's top 2 pacers: Southee is ranked #6 and Boult #11

* West Indies top 2 pacers: Roach is ranked #15 and Taylor is not ranked.

CONCLUSION:

* Gibson should be praying for a flat Kensington wicket----and that is what he'll likely get----Kensington is no longer pacy and bouncy.

Not only the 2 Opening bowlers spell .

Think 1st and 2nd change.

A Fast , bouncy wicket favors Kiwis !

* Gabriel deserves a run.

* Hopefully Sir Curtly will help him work out his kinks.

* Next in line would be Holder.

* Anyway, we all agree that a pace friendly Kensington wicket will favor the Kiwis.

* A WI defeat at Kensington would mean "same old---same old" ----nothing has changed.

* A WI win at Kensington would indicate that a new breeze is blowing across Windies cricket.

* The WI batsmen did well in the Trinidad test, but the truth is WI batting is still not CONSISTENT.

* Let's see if the young guys can deliver in Barbados.


DO YOU RECALL THE WI TEST VS AUSTRALIA AT KENSINGTON IN 2012 ?

* WI scored 449 in their first innings---Shiv 103*, Brathwaite 57, Edwards 61, Bravo 51

* But in their 2nd innings the WI were bowled out for 148

* Australia won by 3 wickets

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.
