All over. Jadeja would have been a good FL pick.

No real suprise about the result and clinical from gill and India...could have batted on wasn't a huge lead but backed themselves and given themselves extra couple of days off

[mikesiva]

West Indies 146 all out

Athanaze 38

Jadeja 4-54
Siraj 3-31

West Indies have good bowling attack now, but my god their batting line up is a trainwreck

[andy]

You could argue Zimbabwe have a better battling up than the west indies...which is a shame because you say their bowling attack is very good...imagine how good they would be if their batters ever gave them a rest during games!

The pitches at home dont help if the last series was anything to go by.

2nd test started today...India batting first are cruising at 224-1 jaiswal is unbeaten on 115 and sai is 71*

[andy]

265-2 with an hour left in the day...warrican with both wickets....jaiswal and Gill at the crease

[andy]

Warrican looks a completely different bowler to the right handers! He actually looks threatning!

[andy]

Quite astonishing that in a score of 318-2 there have been zero extras!

[andy]

318-2 at the close, jaiswal 173*

After the first test ended in 3 days, this looks set for another 4 day finish at max.

As India have another skilled specialist spinner there is no transition time required post Ashwin's retirement. In fact Kuldeep should be picked as first specialist spinner even in SENA test ahead of everyone else.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has played another 150+ runs innings. This was Yashasvi Jaiswal’s seventh Test century, placing him second only to Sachin Tendulkar (11) for the most hundreds in the format by an Indian player aged 23 or younger.
