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.

South Africa is going to face the West Indies team in the second test match today. The performance of the South African players in the first match was downhill. But the match was drawn due to rain. Had the match not been delayed by rain, South Africa would have won. Because the performance of West Indies batsmen is very erratic.

In today's second match as well, I consider South Africa as the favourite. South Africa are relatively stronger and experienced in the Test format. On the other hand, it is impossible to predict the performance of West Indies players in Test format. The performance of West Indies players is very erratic.

Today's match will be held at Providence Stadium Guyana. Only two Test matches have been held at this ground so far. Looking at the pitch condition, I feel the pitch is quite batting friendly. So the West Indies batsmen will have to perform well if they want to win or draw the match.

I don't expect a good performance from West Indies in Test format. There is no doubt that this team is very good in T20 format. The team's performance in ODI and Test formats has been erratic. It is their luck if they play well in Test matches.

A few days ago we saw England losing all three matches in the 3-match Test series. England won each match easily. South Africa could also have won the first match against the West Indies, had the match not been delayed due to rain. In the second match, I consider South Africa as the favourite. The chances of West Indies winning are very low.

We all thought South Africa would dominate the match. South Africa will win this match even if they don't win the first match. But the batting of South Africa's top order batsmen surprised me a lot today. I never imagined that I would see such bad batting from the South African batsmen today.

South Africa won the toss and elected to bat. Taking the decision to bat on this pitch is the right decision. But South Africa started their innings very badly. Zorzi's wicket was lost for 8 runs. And South Africa lost 4 important wickets to collect 57 runs. The average score of the first innings of this pitch is 351 runs. The South African team needs to score at least 250+ if they want to make the match competitive.

Joseph, Seales and Holder are all bowling quite well today. Holder and Seales picked up one wicket each and Joseph picked up two wickets.

Yeah, In first innings Bangladesh A team made only 122 runs only Mahmudul Hasan Joy scored 65 runs other players failed to delivered All credit goes to pakistan A bowlers they dominated on Bangladesh batsman and destroyed their batting line up Naseem Shah and Mir Hamza took three three wickets. Pakistan A team is on the way they make 367 runs with lose of 4 wickets The way pakistan team is playing surely they will win this match excellent batting by Umar Amin he played 177 runs innings and captain saud shakeel scored fifty runs both players put pressure on opposite side Bangladesh bowlers failed to take wickets early only Hasan Murad take two wickets they should need to take remaining wickets as soon as possible.

The Pakistan team is leading the score by 245 runs, that’s too high. Anyways, I think the Bangladesh team players are not doing good work as we can see their openers always fail to play and lose the wickets early.
In the first innings, Zakir Hasan was out on zero, Anamul Haque was out on 7, Mominul Haque was out on 11 and like this the other players also lost their wickets on these max to max 10 or less runs. Mahmudul Hasan Joy was there who performed well otherwise if he would have been out early like Zakir Hasan, maybe they would not have touched even to a 60 score. Mahmudul Hasan Joy 65 runs helped them to make a total above 100 runs Shocked

Last match's hero is gone. Tony de Zorzi made a grand total of one run, and is now back in pavilion. Tristan Stubbs and Aiden Markram are at the crease and they need to do the heavy lifting now. So far the West Indian pacers have started really well. Jayden Seales (4-2-2-1), Shamar Joseph (2-1-1-0) are being very economical and have tied down the South African batsmen. Markram has scored a few runs against Jason Holder, while Tristan Stubbs hasn't opened his account yet after facing 19 balls.

We might see the same squad in both the teams. Let's see how well the two teams can perform in their series decider. Because their victory and defeat will depend on good performance in this match.

A statement of Temba Bavuma has out about this format means you can say he is telling about his focus. He completely said “I am focusing on the test matches”

First of all, I will describe this statement and will clarify it as well. He is saying he has completely focused on the test matches as we are seeing his performance, which means he performing but taking too many balls and not playing with high strength that’s not required in the test matches. Also he said “If I would be in the T20 squad then the people would be shock, that’s good I am not there.”
I think he has no mood to play any other format nowadays except test matches. The West Indies T20 squad has not been announced yet.

The final Test match of the Test series between South Africa and West Indies is going to start shortly. This test match is very important for both the teams as the team that wins this test match will win the series. We may be aware of the performance of the first Test match of these two teams where equal performances resulted in a draw. At long last we got a promising performance from the West Indies which will help them strengthen their players even more. But one thing that is surprising is that when South Africa played a friendly match against WICXI team they also drew. Even drew the first Test match of the main Test series.

We might see the same squad in both the teams. Let's see how well the two teams can perform in their series decider. Because their victory and defeat will depend on good performance in this match.

The bad news for today's match is that heavy rains are predicted for first half, which means that there is a possibility that wet outfield maybe an issue throughout the day. From West Indies side, it will be interesting to see whether they are going to retain Gudakesh Motie. He was in poor form during the first match, while the other spinner Jomel Warrican managed to pick up a few crucial wickets. For the South Africans on the other hand, Keshav Maharaj was exceptional (picked up 8 wickets, and on the last day bowled 40 overs continuously).

In today's second Test match of South Africa vs West Indies, both teams will surely try hard to win. We have seen that the first match was a tie between the two teams so in today's match both the teams will definitely have a good batting performance to win. South Africa team will definitely try to give a good lead in this match and if West Indies team can not bat well in this match then there is a possibility of losing. Although we know West Indies are not in good form in Test matches but if they can improve their game then surely they can win. But the team which can make a good score on the first day will be ahead, anyway if the weather is good in this test match then surely we can feel the game well.

Bangladesh A vs Pakistan A

There was a first unofficial test match between these two teams which are mentioned above. Bangladesh played the first turn and they made only 122 runs. And if we look at the batsmen of the team so there is only one player who made 65 runs and his name is Mahmudul Hasan Joy. Otherwise there is everyone is looking below 15 runs. Means there performance was nill. And Pakistan A just started their turn and they will continue their first inning today on the second day of the match. And this time they made only 2 runs in 2 overs without any loss. I hope Pakistan A team will give a good lead to Bangladesh A team.

Yeah, In first innings Bangladesh A team made only 122 runs only Mahmudul Hasan Joy scored 65 runs other players failed to delivered All credit goes to pakistan A bowlers they dominated on Bangladesh batsman and destroyed their batting line up Naseem Shah and Mir Hamza took three three wickets. Pakistan A team is on the way they make 367 runs with lose of 4 wickets The way pakistan team is playing surely they will win this match excellent batting by Umar Amin he played 177 runs innings and captain saud shakeel scored fifty runs both players put pressure on opposite side Bangladesh bowlers failed to take wickets early only Hasan Murad take two wickets they should need to take remaining wickets as soon as possible.

Bangladesh batsmen could not score good runs in the first innings and the reason for this is that firstly their batsmen did not perform well and secondly there was a lot of pressure from Pakistan bowlers due to which wickets were lost and runs stopped. And the target became less. Mahmood has scored these runs with full effort and good performance on his part, if he had not participated in the struggle like this, the target would have been less than 100. And the other batsmen did not take interest in the match which led to the loss of wicket after wicket. Yes you are saying right because Pakistan bowler has done all this with hard work and struggle and they have scored good runs in the first innings. Obviously, the game is visible to all, if the Bangladesh batsmen make good runs in the first innings, it could have been difficult, but in the second innings also the Bangladeshi batsmen will have to make runs with more speed and good perform. Those runs will be few and far between for the Pakistan batsmen.

The second Test match will start today between South Africa vs West Indies. Only those who can give the best performance in today's match can win, because the first test match is a draw. However, although South Africa team was stronger than West Indies team, they did not perform well, West Indies batting was the most confident.

So today both the teams will perform aggressively enough to win, but they must play the Test game with patience. As cricket is a game of uncertainty, we have to wait for a long time to see which team will win.

From today, the second test match between South Africa and West Indies going to start. The last match was drawn between these both teams but I think if the rain would not come then there was more chances for the South African team to win that game.

However, if they win this test match that will start today and finish on 19th August then they could win this series, because it is the series of 2 matches and one has drawn so if they win this game, they win the series as well. After this test series, there will be T20 matches to see between them.
South Africa are favourites in this test but we may get better odds if we risk and bet on West Indies. Wink

West Indies batting was confident? I don't think so. In the first innings they really struggled against Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada, and were bowled out for just 233. And in the second innings also they got wrecked by Maharaj, and were rescued only by rain. Apart from Alick Athanaze, none of the West Indian batsmen actually looked "confident" out there. And the less talked about their bowling, that better. Jomel Warrican picked up wickets, and got some support from Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales. Star bowler Gudakesh Motie was extremely disappointing.

This is why I have been advocating for a three tier division in test cricket. It can be implemented like this:

Division1: India, Pakistan, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand
Division2: West Indies, Ireland, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Scotland
Division3: Zimbabwe, Netherlands, Nepal, Namibia, USA, Canada

There will be a total of 18 teams. Teams should face other teams within their division 80% of the time, while 10% each should be spend on playing teams from other two divisions.

Just a hint of things to come - Sri Lanka got bowled out for 139 by England Lions, during a warmup match at the Worcester County Ground. None of their batsmen could get to 30, with Dimuth Karunaratne top-scoring with his 26. Pacer Zaman Akhter (Gloucestershire and Oxford MCCU) took 5 wickets, while 19-year old left-arm fast bowler Josh Hull (Leicestershire and Manchester Originals) took three scalps including the crucial wickets of Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Mathews. Lions got themselves to a good start, but then there was a wobble. They are 145/4 now.

The Pakistan A team has scored too good as in cricinfo, there is not the latest result of the match but the information that I have. The Pakistan team has a very good lead, they made 367 in the loss of just 4 wickets.
Umar Amin and Saud Shakeel has the main character in the team to make this type of score and I think tomorrow the Pakistan team will declare the innings after touching 400 as well. Saim Ayub is a good player but he failed to make runs in this innings and lost his wicket early on 11. Umar Amin made 177 runs and he was the hero for the 2nd day in this match.

Yes you are right. They are playing really well. Firstly they were very good in bowling and now they are really good in batting too. In bowling they bowled out the whole team of Bangladesh A team at 122 runs. And now Pakistan A team has made 367 runs and they lost 4 wickets. Umar Amin Play really well in this match he made 177 runs. Which is really an amazing score. After him there is Saud Shakeel who made 76 runs. Saad Khan and Kamran Ghulam are facing the Bangladesh A team bowlers at this time so I hope they will do their best too and I hope Pakistan A will make 400 runs lead and at this time they are leading with 245 runs.

The match was already having this option draw strong after we lost first days play, and then we have slow batting from the South African in second days play but things gone interesting on last day as we have good approach for the win from the South Africa because their batting and then bowling done good job for them, but we have strong resistance from the Holder and Alick Athanaze who out on 92 runs this was match saving inning from this young batsman.

Keshav Maharaj done impressive job for the South Africa in this match as he bowled 66.2 overs and having 8 wickets this is surely the best performance from him for his team cause even we lost five sessions in this test match but still we have interesting end this is showing how things are going for the South Africa they are giving their best for test format to have good results and entertaining games for the cricket lovers.

Keshav Maharaj has done an amazing job for South Africa over the years. But unfortunately his performance was not enough to guarantee a win for South Africa. In the second innings, he bowled 26.2 overs, out of a total of 56.2. That is almost 47% of the total overs. If not for the rain, they could have won. But in the end only the outcome matters. Alick Athanaze was the savior for West Indies. When Kavem Hodge got out, they were at 127/4 with 20-25 overs remaining. Athanaze and Jason Holder made sure that the match ended as a draw.

South Africa tried desperately to get the result and batted at a healthy run rate of around 6 RPO in the 2nd innings. West Indies only needed to survive 63 overs which were considerably easy in a test match. After a shaky start, WI better did their best to stitch the partnership and stay at the crease as long as possible. Alick Athanaze played beautifully and saved WI from a defeat, but he missed his maiden test hundred by just 8 runs. Maharaj bowled exceptionally well in both innings and was nominated as player of the match for the first test.

I never imagined that the West Indies players would turn the game so easily, coming out of the shell of defeat, they certainly protested in the second innings of this first match. Usually the players of the Ostends team are patient and the players of the other teams panic, which was the case in this second match.

But generally I appreciate the aggressive performance of the batsmen, Alick Athanaze scored more runs in a short period of time as he scored 92 runs which turned the match around. And the latter players provide a lot of support due to which they were caught very easily in this match.

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.
