dat was a hard decision ..even fuh me up here.
west iindies is ah chump batting side..worse in the second than in the fus' innings always.
if h'ingland ketch ah stan' and gih dem anything at all to make in the last innings deh go fold fuh less.
forget conditions, fuhget everything but dat fact. deh have 200 plus go add. I know deh wud be hard press to make 150 n their second.but that's fine.
let h'ingland have the pleasure of fighting with 350 plus las' innin's..and not west indies with a 150 to make to win. west indies nah make no 150 to win no game in ah test in the last innin's
and by the way...[i]NO TEAM BATS WELL IN THE FOURTH INNINGS OF TEST MATCHES. IT HAS BEEN VERY RARE THAT TEAMS HAVE COME FROM BEHIND TO WIN SCORING BIG TOTALS IN LAST INNINGS OF TEST MATCHES[/i]
all in west indies favor here. deh made the right decision no matter how much they score
Day 3 - Session 2: West Indies lead by 473 runs with 4 wickets remaining
Current Partnership : 144 runs, 31.5 overs, RR: 4.52 (JO Holder 103, SO Dowrich 37)

3.45pm: And that's it, West Indies have declared with a lead of 627 !
295* runs partnership : Dowrich 116*, Holder 202*

Jennings to Holder, FOUR runs, .. Holder raises a maiden Test DOUBLE-ton,
he leaps and punches the air! Only the third time by a someone batting No. 8 or lower
a huge achievement by the captain on his home ground.
The fires are burning strong in Babylon !
