The Fear of LOSS
is a greater MOTIVATOR
than the opportunity to GAIN.
Believe this AND know that Bangladesh cannot survive Day 4 or 98 overs 8)

I would just like them to have fun as it's not everyday we see West indies win in test matches. It's been a really solid performance by them so far.

Bangladesh's collapse does not invalidate what everyone has been saying about strike rates and Ramdin's declaration.
1. WI needed to accelerate to 450. Losing wickets at that point didn't matter. Just get that target fast.
2. WI needed to them give themselves 3 and 3/4 days to bowl Bangladesh out twice, especially given the threat of rain.
Any serious captain would do this. When you are on top in a situation like this - which WI rarely are - you stick the knife in further and hurry the opposition. You can't indulge in future speculation; you have to play for the team and give your bowlers lots of time.

Absolutely correct and as my fried Calypso would say 'Correct is right'.
There would be sterner tests and getting into winning habits can only be good especially those situations you peg down and do so quickly when on top.
Good manouvering of the bowlers by Ramdin and even Gabriel reined back his economy rate.
What I like is this game has not been allowed to drift aimlessly.
