I totally agree with you. England vs West Indies match was completely boring. Boring batting. No matter how hard the bowlers try, they are not able to take wickets. It is meaningless to bowl well on such a pitch. The ICC should look forward. And the ICC should play a role in pitch selection. We ordinary spectators do not expect such a boring match. If it continues like this, cricket will lose more spectators

It's now confirmed that second test will end in a draw as WI are 156 runs behind of England first innings total and they have still 5 wickets in hands. Kraigg Brathwaite has scored his 10th century and looking for double century. We saw Same situation in Pakistan Australia Test series. Let's hope pcb design some meaningful pitch for last test.

England made the mistake of leaving out James Anderson and Stuart Broad from the playing XI. These two are their best pace bowlers and have excellent experience in bowling under tough conditions. The pitch offered hardly any support for pace/seam bowling and the younger bowlers who were included in the playing XI performed rather poorly. Not going to blame them, since there was hardly any support from the pitch. But I have a feeling that if Anderson was there, then things could have been a lot better for England.

James and Broad have played enough cricket and should have left the team by themselves before team management drop them. ECB is doing good by giving chance to new pace bowlers else England will be in same situation like Srilanka are in right now. Srilanka key players like jayawardena, Sangakkara, malinga left at same time leaving team in worst situation.

Definitely a draw as WI are now 219 runs behind with 6 wikcets in hands, only two days left for two complete innings. ICC has nothing to do with pitches please stop this discussion. In test format such things are happening ever since cricket started and will continue to happen as long as test cricket is there.

Is it happening in every test? Really? You probably didn't watch the India vs Sri Lanka Test match. The pitch was enough good. The bowler has the advantage, but if the batsman is experienced, he is able to score well. But the kind of pitches that Pakistan and the West Indies are making are totally helpful for batting. I think such a pitch is perfect for T20 or ODI format

Kraigg Brathwaite and Jermaine Blackwood are the star performer of WI first innings. If WI score 300 runs on day 4 then they have lead of 81 runs only. If England can bowl out WI in first session of day 4 with lead of 100 or 150 then there is some chance of England winning the game. My bet is on draw of this game.

Braithwaite is still playing comfortably and has now scored more than 100 runs. I think if he stays there till the end of day 4 then WI will be able to lead trail. England would like to get his wicket if they want to win this match. Still the chance of this match getting draw is pretty high.

Undoubtedly the match will be a draw. As we have seen the West Indies bowlers bowling poorly, the England bowlers are not doing well either. For a long time they could not take any wicket. And the pair of Braithwaite and Blackwood have probably scored 159 runs already.

It is highly likely that the match would end up in a draw because West Indies is fighting back and Kraigg Brathwaite is leading from the front and had a good partnership with Jermaine Blackwood and both reached their century, but Jermaine Blackwood lost his wicket and they are still trailing by 219 runs and two more days left in this match and unless there is a big turnaround in the morning session the match will end up in a draw .

Two days still remain (approx. 180 overs of play) and West Indies still trail by more than 200 runs. But I agree that the probability of a draw is grater, unless the England bowlers can get some of the key West Indies batsmen out cheaply. The WTC has made test cricket more boring. In order to save points, weaker teams like West Indies and Pakistan are creating flat tracks, resulting in meaningless matches. The ICC needs to step in and stop this sham. The fans don't care about points and they demand quality matches.

But, I am really hoping that this will change in the third test match. Otherwise, it will be absolutely boring to see another 5 days of batting without any intention except for surviving. I really don't understand why they don't make a pitch that is good and suitable for both batsmen and bowlers? You know, they do have great bowlers in their squad…

The next match will be in Lahore.. I think the ground is better there. Are we going to discuss pitch again for the third test match or was that Karachi only? I have never heard so much about pitch issue. But I am very surprised and appreciate those who predicted a draw. That was really unbelievable guess.

The rest of whole series will be played in Lahore. Previously most of the matches were scheduled to be played in Pindi but due to law and order situation in the country, matches are shifted to Lahore. Pakistan interior minister: White-ball matches against Australia moved from Rawalpindi to Lahore

The final test match will begin on Monday It will be an extreme important match and I wish we could have a result in that test match.

Sad to see Blackwood get out after reaching his century which piles on more pressure on his captain currently. Weird thing is that the captain + vice-captain of both teams scored centuries so far in this match.

My prediction is that West Indies will get close to the target and end up falling short due to which this match will end as a draw.

England managed to set up such a massive total, after so long. Nice to see Ben Stokes getting a century, and Joe Root making another big score. Dan Lawrence was quite unlucky to miss his hundred. The West Indian bowling looked dull, and only Veerasammy Permaul looked impressive in parts. ~

Thank God you give credit to batsmen rather then blaming the board and curator for making a flat pitch that will take the match to draw. Definitely your moral goes down if you opponent keep on scoring runs, West Indies have a tough day ahead. ~

The condition of the pitch deserves all of the credits, not the batsmen of England. I thought West Indies will show poor performance by staying under pressure. But the Windies players are battling really well now. Test match is fully boring when the pitch has nothing for the bowlers. Now it seems like the second test will end as draw too. Betting odds for the draw is 1.3× now. West Indies has already scored 250 runs by losing 3 wickets only.

You are right. Enjoying such a Test match is very annoying. The bowlers are not getting any advantage on this pitch. Complete batting support pitch. It seems that 5 days will be over after the end of both innings. Undoubtedly the match will be a draw. As we have seen the West Indies bowlers bowling poorly, the England bowlers are not doing well either. For a long time they could not take any wicket. And the pair of Braithwaite and Blackwood have probably scored 159 runs already.

Vaccinized.. immunity level is full.

England - West Indies

The match between England and West Indies is heading towards a draw. After losing the third wicket for 101 runs, I thought West Indies might end their first innings between 300-350. But due to the responsible batting of Brathwait and Blackwood, West Indies scored 236 runs and did not lose any more wickets. Brathwaite is unbeaten on 98 and Blackwood's collection is 70.

The game in the third session of the third day is now underway. And perhaps the West Indies will be batting 20-22 overs today. And if the West Indies bat all day today, then the match is most likely to be a draw.

Trailing by 436 runs and losing 1 wicket does not mean they are out of the match. Still 3 more days left and WI can chase those run if they play sensibly on day 3, they need a big partnership

You are right. Day 3 will be make or break day for WI. If they play carefully and can chase down England first innings total chances will be we have a draw but if England can take lead of 200 from here then they are in strong position to win this game. Place your bet carefully.

The West Indian bowling looked dull, and only Veerasammy Permaul looked impressive in parts. BTW, Matthew Fisher is making his debut for England and he has already picked up his first wicket (that of John Campbell, caught behind by Foakes). He is having a smooth bowling action and has the capability to make it big in the coming years.

Definitely your moral goes down if you opponent keep on scoring runs, West Indies have a tough day ahead. They are still 436 runs behind England total, they should try to score at least 350 in there first innings to remain in the match.

I predicted and said before, at the end of the first day that England is going to put up a really big total. And that's exactly what happened. Now West Indies has lost one wicket already for 71 runs. And still trailing by 436 runs. To be honest I am not sure that they will be able to get a lead at the end of their innings. 436 runs look quite a lot, to be honest, and I think we will get a good idea after the first session of the third day.

We have another very good test match between South Africa vs Bangladesh with most of South African players are in India for their IPL stint and Board announces they will go ahead with new players this can give some good advantage to Bangladesh which already beat New Zealand in New Zealand.

Bangladesh tour to SA will run from 18 Mar 2022 to 11 Apr 2022. AFAIK, South Africa board refused to issue NOCs to its players to attend PSL earlier this year saying national duty (India tour to SA during PSL) will be first. I don't think same will happen for PSL as BCCI gives handsome money to boards to spare players for IPL.
Aussies players will miss start of IPL due to there tour to Pakistan.
