Congrats Paint and Bishoo

142 not out for Paint.

His average might not reflect it, but he's WI's best opener in decades; 5 tons and only 23 years old. That's one stat even the modern greats (Kane, Kohli, Smith et al) can't claim.

Still, this has otherwise been a poor year for Paint, though he did get a 90 and 80 vs the Aussies.

Bishoo's knock was hilarious. 27 runs at a strike rate of 30. He stuck around forever and halted a collapse, allowing Paint to bat on.

I love how Gabriel sucks at batting. He is like Courtney Walsh and other old time fast bowlers, utterly unable to hold a bat.

30 overs and Holder did not see Bishoo as a Bowler

Bishoo replaces Chase : introduced in the 36th over !

of the 3rd inning after taking a 4 Fer in the 1st inning.

dont slander Walsh.  he did some good things with that bat..even won a test match.  did he...was it he or
Ambrose.

I was about to say something about Gabe's bat..I could not find it.  dats not good anymore... a #11 with no bat > > >

Yeah, Walsh won a test with the bat. Ambrose played a big part too.

Still, Walsh averaged 7 with the bat. He was so hilarious to watch.

Since Walsh retired, fast bowlers have been getting better at batting. Jimmy Anderson is pretty handy with the bat. Tino Best, Roach and Jerome Taylor as well.

Gabriel is a walking Duck Machine. I don't mind, once he's the same with the ball.

needed this win badly

Yes indeed, Congrats are in order.

These 2 were the key !

i notice not much credit have been given to Bishoo for his contribution to his victory!  no wonder WI cricket in the shits!  >

like you don't read properly

TD congratulated his Batmanship that was directly responsible

for Braff's score and not out .

Thats the greatest compliment, ever !
