50 up.

By comparison, Brathwaite and Chandrika average opening partnership was 13.10 in their 10 innings together.

Leon bat 3 in South Africa ?
Re: 3rd Test: West Indies v India at Gros Islet - dillinger10 - 08-10-2016
Yes. Leon batted 3 and then never seen from again. Until now. He is deserving of an extended run in the side. This is a very solid foundation. Something that has been lacking over the last 2 years.
Re: 3rd Test: West Indies v India at Gros Islet - ketchim - 08-10-2016
59 - 1
Leon run out on a direct hit attempting to steal a run

Re: can Holder take wickets - TRINIDADDY - 08-10-2016
Quote:Since Holder made his Test debut, his strike-rate (104.2) is fourth worst (min 120 overs).
You can't measure Holder to other bowlers though. You need to measure him to Kallis.
After 16 matches, Holder has more runs and wickets than Kallis had at the same point in his career. Kallis then moved from batting at 7 to bat at 3...and the rest is history.
Of course Kallis started at about 21 years old and averaged 50 with the bat domestically.
Holder is 24 and has no real reputation as a batsman.
But that's how you make a containment bowler like Holder (Kallis' test strike rate with the ball is 70, compared to Holder's 100) earn his keep. You make him shoulder the weight of batting, or you kick him off the team.
Re: can Holder take wickets - mapoui - 08-10-2016
I am willing to put holder at 3. I see nutten wrong with that. make him bat indeed or get lost
