WEST INDIES WIll They Struggle To Make 200 ? - Rev Al - 11-15-2013
OK Folks:
* The score after day 2---WI 43/3
* Have you noticed the Indian spinners starting to get some serious turn and bounce ?
* That is quite an ominous sign for the WI
* Spinners Ashwin and Ojha picked up 8 wickets in the first innings
* They have taken all 3 to fall so far.
* And like we have all seen so far---TURN and BOUNCE.
BOTTOM LINE:
[size=14pt]Unless the wicket miraculously flattens out on day 3---the West Indies will struggle to make 200---this match should be over by tea---and that is being overly optimistic.[/size]

Check these scores in the 1st innings:
Sammy 0
shillingford 0
Gabriel 1
* So that's 4 batsmen to come
* Deo and Ramdin both have test averages in the mid 20s
* So that's 2 batsmen to come
* Marlon Samuels and Shiv Chanderpaul

I was hoping the Tiger would score those 78 runs he needs to reach 11,000----but right now my expectations are extremely low----even if he stays around---he may score a 31 not out like he did in the 2nd innings of the first test.
