2nd TEST : Holder and Roach returns ! - ketchim - 10-11-2018
While even the most optimistic of the West Indies supporters won't be expecting such a turnaround
what they will want is a closer contest than the three-day squash in Rajkot
The thing about fight is, sometimes you can only fight as much as the opposition allows you to ~
Holder and Roach returns : Lift a flat West Indies ? - chairman - 10-11-2018
hopefully a win
2nd TEST : Holder and Roach returns ! - ketchim - 10-11-2018
West Indies' last three Tests in India have lasted a total of nine days and 720.5 overs.
All three have been innings defeats.
In the last Test, India registered their highest total against West Indies
and their biggest win against them.

Pitch and conditions
Expect Rajkot-like conditions in Hyderabad: good for batting to begin with
and turn and uneven bounce from third day onwards.
There will be some respite from the 40-degrees heat of Rajkot
with highs of mid-30s expected during the match.

"We're playing the No. 1 team, India, in their backyard.
And history would show we haven't won a Test match here since 1994
and if you look at the players who came through West Indies cricket
- I think Brian Lara and these greats had been playing at that time."
West Indies captain Jason Holder

Goa cuisine derived from the Portuguese carne de vinha d'alhos
(literally "meat in garlic wine marinade"), is a dish of meat marinated in wine and garlic.
... It evolved into the localized and easy-to-pronounce dish "vindaloo".

West Indies will hope the return of Holder and Kemar Roach revitalises them.
Sunil Ambris will be under pressure to retain his place after two disappointing dismissals
but they are not carrying any back-up except wicketkeeper-batsman Jahmar Hamilton.
Devendra Bishoo failed to create any pressure as a spinner in Rajkot
there might be temptation to replace him with the fingerspin of Jomel Warrican.
