Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self

But of course we are looking forward to the second test match when this match starts two teams with maximum performance will try to win. So we wait till the end of the game and enjoy which team performs, but must be aggressive in terms of bowling and batting to win.

West Indies were merely able to save the first test match and now today they will be playing the 2nd test against South Africa at Providence. South Africa must be feeling a bit unlucky as they did all the right things in that test match but it was rain that helped the West Indies team draw that match which was already moving out of the hand of West Indies.

I Hope the weather at Providence remain good throughout the next five days so that we experience no delays or interruption in the matches. By the way, West Indies are at the last spot in the World Test Championship points table and they desperately needs a win but for that they need to uplift their performance to the highest level.

South Africans have already lost 4 wickets by lunch time in this test match.

Don't know whats wrong with them and WI are having a good start in this match.

Since the South African captain won the toss and decided to bat, I thought the team would play well in the first innings. But the South African team lost 4 wickets to collect only 57 runs. I was not at all prepared to witness such a batting disaster. The batsmen needed to bat more responsibly in this match.

Kyle Verreynne and David Bedingham are now at the crease. Both are batting very carefully at the moment. South Africa managed to collect 78 runs losing 4 wickets. If this pair does not play well then South Africa will probably lose all the wickets before collecting 200 runs. Bedingham remained unbeaten on 28 off 51 balls. I would like to see a big innings from Bedingham today.

Unfortunately, Bedingham was also trapped by the West Indies bowlers for 28 off 54 balls. Bedingham also failed completely to get through the long innings. No batsman of the South African team has been able to create a good position in the first innings of this Test match so far. Meanwhile, the South African team has lost seven wickets. The South African team has collected 92 runs for the loss of seven wickets so far. Now in my opinion, if the South African team is to be somewhat stong in terms of scores, it is very important for the batsmen of the South African team to bat patiently and with a cool head.
