Congrats to Leon Johnson for becoming the 300th West Indies Test player. Your whole career is ahead of you, grab it with both hands and don't look back. You got all that it takes to succeed at the highest level and don't waste this opportunity young man. Your mom must be so proud today. All the best
Woaah...So this is a sticky thread..?
Great to see a century stand by openers after a long time.Banglas surely will cry over the spilled chance of chanders on 34.He can make it big and they already must be cursing themselves

India hitting us with ODI's first to psychologically bludgeon us befor the tests.
We need Shiv or Paint in the ODIs to give us some glue, move Ramdin up the order and then pack the lower order with psycho cow-lashes.
The bowling selection will be a nightmare; it's extremely difficult to select bowlers for Indian conditions.

Exactly..That is what i also wanted to post..
India are not willing to take any chances with the windies.A psychological advantage right at the start of the series would be ideal to shun them out in the tests.
Who is "paint" btw..?? :O Just curious..
Also are Bangladesh seriously this stupid? Why on earth did they choose to bowl AGAIN FFS? They'll have to bat in the fourth innings here. Unbelievable.
Good to see Shafiul back - he's far more decent bowler than Rubel. And technically they went in with a batsman less but I guess it hardly makes a difference.
"Paint" is Kraigg Barthwaite. The name stuck because, at the domestic level, he batted slow for his many centuries ("watching Kraigg is like watching paint dry!"). Now it's become a term of endearment ("Paint bats slow 'cos he's careful and meticulous like Picasso!").
