Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[Rustam Meraj]

Despite losing wickets very quickly, England managed to score big. And after losing 3 wickets for just 31 runs, perhaps nobody thought that England would be able to collect 376 runs in this match. Joe Root played the most important innings. He played an excellent innings of 84 runs at the time when the team needed it the most. But it was not the highest innings for England. Jamie Smith played the biggest innings. Smith added 95 runs to England's scoreboard. Despite losing 5 wickets for just 54 runs, England managed to post a huge score of 376.

While they lost all wickets and they made only 376 runs means they gave a trial of 94 runs to West Indies but here is important thing is that England is looking still strong. Because we can see West Indies has lost 2 wickets at this time and they only made 33 runs. So if they will also lose the wickets quickly so England will definitely win this match.
If West Indies wants to win this match so they should give 300+ runs trial to England. So this is the second inning so this will be the final target. 300+ runs not enough so they need to bowl well too. If the want to win.
By the way this is my guessing. But still I am looking that England is strong.

England have dominated and won the last two matches. We have not seen a good performance from the West Indies players in the last two matches. And nobody expected West Indies to win the third match too. Naturally, like the previous two matches, England were considered hot favorites in the third match as well.

We have not seen good batting from the West Indies batsmen in the first innings. The West Indies team managed to collect 282 runs. However, when England managed to score just 54 runs for the loss of 5 wickets, we thought West Indies might take the lead in the first innings. But as a result of the responsible batting of England's batsmen, the England team has taken a big lead of 94 runs. So I think the West Indies team will be defeated by a big margin in this match as well.

Yes, West Indies team scored only 282 runs in first innings, but England team batted well to meet this target and scored 376 runs in 1st innings. England set a target of just 94 runs to West Indies, although in the second innings West Indies are currently batting and playing to meet the target as they have already lost two wickets. Although England has a chance to win this match as England is still very strong compared to West Indies, so I think the third test match will be dominated by England. West Indies now need to collect only 61 runs to complete the lead given by England, although this run is very easy to collect, but it will not be possible for West Indies to make a big score later.  In that case, if West Indies team can't make a big score and England can't give a big leave, then England has a chance to win today's match.

[Sithara007]

Ireland needs another 125 runs to win the only test match against Zimbabwe. But the problem is that they have already lost 5 wickets. The original target was 158 runs, and Ireland are at 33/5 now. Richard Ngarava has so far taken 4 wickets and he is taking advantage of the helpful conditions at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Stormont. They have Andy McBrine and Lorcan Tucker at the crease now and after them it is the lower order batsmen. If the Zimbabwean bowlers can take a couple of quick wickets early on today, then the match will be firmly in their grasp.

[Compromise me]

England team is batting on the second day, and they are batting to meet the target given by West Indies. Although the England team lost three important wickets due to which they are under pressure at the moment, although their match today is not so important to win. They have already won two matches in the Test series, and they have enough results to go into the series, if West Indies can beat England in today's match, they have a chance to win. England still have 231 runs left to meet the target given by West Indies, if the England team bats well then they can definitely meet the target given by West Indies.

Ultimately , England International test cricket team will win the final match of series. England team is much stronger than West Indies team and West Indies team us not that of team that will play good in second inning. They are short period playing players and they always play less balls and they try to make more runs but that attitude is not good in test match because test match is a game of patience and England team has proper attitude for test match because they are champions of test tournament and they are also Inventory of cricket and they played match against Australia very  long time ago.West Indies team will lose the final match and series will be 3 in 0 and we will see England best bowling and batting and we will enjoy it because they are legends.

Yes I agree with you that England team is going to win the third test match between England and West Indies as well. In this complete series, we have not seen any remarkable performances from the West Indies players that would have been capable of winning a match. Their Test squad may not have the experienced and skill-full players to turn around when the team is in danger and stand like a wall to protect the team. The current West Indies team needs good batting and bowling who can play patiently and perform well in the Test format.

West Indies are currently batting in their second innings at the moment with a collection of 33 runs for 2 wickets As a result, they are ahead of England by 61 runs. But they only scored 276 runs in their first innings, can they score enough to win from here?

Most of us were expecting that England would whitewash this series, and that is going to happen. And so far in the first two test matches, West Indies went down by quite large margins. The third match is also going in the same way. West Indies had England down at 54/5. But then the partnership between Ben Stokes and Joe Root rescued them. By the time Ben Stokes got out they had reached 169. And then Jamie Smith played a very valuable innings to take the total to 376, with the help from lower order batsmen such as Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson.

8th wicket partnership between Jamie Smith and Chris Woakes bring back England into game because as West Indian were controlling there was chance for them to have led into first inning but these two tail enders done good job and having 116 runs partnership Jamie Smith done good job but sadly fail to have his first test century.

Now in second inning, we have early breakthrough for the England as West Indies lost their captain into first over of the second inning after this we have another success for England before end of the third day play West Indies still trailing by 61 runs, but they lost good chance of having advantage in this match now most chances we will have whitewash for the England due to their spirited performance.

[hafiztalha]

England team is batting on the second day, and they are batting to meet the target given by West Indies. Although the England team lost three important wickets due to which they are under pressure at the moment, although their match today is not so important to win. They have already won two matches in the Test series, and they have enough results to go into the series, if West Indies can beat England in today's match, they have a chance to win. England still have 231 runs left to meet the target given by West Indies, if the England team bats well then they can definitely meet the target given by West Indies.

Today is the second day of the test between West Indies and England and this time we are seeing that the England team that as they are playing good to some extent.

Ben Stokes and Joe Root are making the partnership as well. I think now the West Indies team once again are going to come in trouble because yesterday they picked 5 wickets under 50 score but today they are not picking the wickets fastly. Let’s see what will happen, right now the England team is trailing by 164 runs but hopefully, they will chase it if both players Ben Stokes and Joe Root do not lose the wickets and continue this partnership.
Also, this partnership is hurting the West Indies team badly and the hopes for them in this match are getting down.

England made 376 runs in the first innings. That was excellent batting by the England team. Jamie Smith played 95 runs innings, and Joe Root scored 87 runs. These players contributed many runs to the team total, which was very helpful for giving lead 94 runs to the West Indies team. England team lost their 5 wickets early on 54 runs. After that they saved their wickets, which helped the English team to set a big total. Ben Stokes and Joe Root played the 6th wicket partnership of 115 runs while Chris wakes and Jamie Smith also scored 106 runs partnership. West Indies bowlers failed to take wickets early which created pressure on West Indies tean Alzarri Joseph took four wickets Now pressure will be on west indies team they had to take a lead of 94 runs first then gave a target so it will be very difficult situation for west indies team now to survive otherwise they shall be whitewashed

According to me this game is also in hand of England team and their team already won past two test games and 2 nd win was totally mind blowing and no one believes that their team got a win. Anyways in current game, England team performed better than West indies team in first innings. West indies team only made 282 runs and entire wickets was fell down other hand, England team chased down all runs of West indies which was made in first inning and trail 94 runs. Now west indies 2 nd has started now and in 33 runs two batsman of West indies was dropped Kraigg again fail to show good effort and was dismissed for 0 run and other batsman Kirk, he scored 8 runs. Louis and Alick both these batsman are batting in pitch, Louis scores 18 runs and Alick make 5. Let's see at end of their innings, how much runs their team grab and set for England team. If I predict almost 200 more runs will set for England team.

Good News for the West Indies team. They are leading the score so far and also their 6 wickets are still intact which is too good for them. Now, they could win this match, they give hope once again to their nation that they could get result in their favor in this match.

May it could be the match in which the West Indies take their revenge of the last loses against England in the World Cup and others. West Indies is leading the score by 47 runs, they have to play like this in a calm mood otherwise as usual once again they might not be able to give a big target and come near to loss.

If the Zimbabwean bowlers can take a couple of quick wickets early on today, then the match will be firmly in their grasp.

It's a great match to watch because there were huge up and down from both team and things were quite difficult to predict as both team were trying hard to give his hundred percent, anyway Zimbabwe team put a strong grip on Thier opponent and that situation results were looking divert in thier favour but some important middle order partnership from Tucker and Mcbrine change the entire situation and not only broke thier opponent grip but show his dominance over them and now finally even after dismissal of ticker Thier partner Mcbrine took the inning with new guy and thus due to another small partnership from them now they just required a 15 runs to won the first test match of the series. I was sure about Ireland victory from start of the match because of thier squad potential compared to Zimbabwe and now they proved it by almost winning the match

[Bitcoin_people]

Zimbabwe vs Island Ireland won this match by four wickets Ireland played this test match brilliantly. Zimbabwe scored only 210 runs in the first innings, and Ireland scored 250 runs in the next innings. However, the Zimbabwean team could not give much lead to Ireland in the 2nd innings, due to which Ireland was not under so much pressure, collecting only 197 runs. The Island team came out to meet this target of 197 runs and they scored 158 runs in the second innings to meet their target and win by four wickets. Although the opening batsmen of the Ireland team did not bat very well rather they played poorly but later on they held the game due to which Ireland won this test match.

England team is batting on the second day, and they are batting to meet the target given by West Indies. Although the England team lost three important wickets due to which they are under pressure at the moment, although their match today is not so important to win.

Today is the second day of the test between West Indies and England and this time we are seeing that the England team that as they are playing good to some extent.

Ben Stokes and Joe Root are making the partnership as well. I think now the West Indies team once again are going to come in trouble because yesterday they picked 5 wickets under 50 score but today they are not picking the wickets fastly. Let’s see what will happen, right now the England team is trailing by 164 runs but hopefully, they will chase it if both players Ben Stokes and Joe Root do not lose the wickets and continue this partnership.
Also, this partnership is hurting the West Indies team badly and the hopes for them in this match are getting down.

England made 376 runs in the first innings. That was excellent batting by the England team. Jamie Smith played 95 runs innings, and Joe Root scored 87 runs. These players contributed many runs to the team total, which was very helpful for giving lead 94 runs to the West Indies team. England team lost their 5 wickets early on 54 runs. After that they saved their wickets, which helped the English team to set a big total. Ben Stokes and Joe Root played the 6th wicket partnership of 115 runs while Chris wakes and Jamie Smith also scored 106 runs partnership. West Indies bowlers failed to take wickets early which created pressure on West Indies tean Alzarri Joseph took four wickets Now pressure will be on west indies team they had to take a lead of 94 runs first then gave a target so it will be very difficult situation for west indies team now to survive otherwise they shall be whitewashed

The result of the third and final Test match was once again in England's favour. In the first innings of the third Test, England batted first for 376, in reply the West Indies managed only 282 in the first innings and when England invited them to bat again they were all out for just 187, leaving England with an easy target. Since the target was low in the second innings, England succeeded in chasing the target without a wicket. Before the start of this test series, I said that West Indies team will not do well against England team if it was ODI or T20 then there was one thing but England will always be ahead in Test cricket and that has happened.

After end of the third day play things were looking well-balanced for the two teams, but today we have impressive performance from the Andy McBrine who took 7 wickets and score crucial half centuries for win his team because in second inning as we have start of Ireland inning things were looking not good but Andy McBrine and Lorcan Tucker play important role for their maiden test win after having test cap few years back.

Zimbabwean bowlers done good job but after having 5 wickets things were looking for more aggressive approach from them, but they fail to keep pressure on Irish batsmen which allow them to have win in this game by 4 wickets but still we need good improvement in quality from both countries because we have huge difference of quality between top and lower rank test playing countries which making this format not watchable for many around the globe.

[virasog]

According to me this game is also in hand of England team and their team already won past two test games and 2 nd win was totally mind blowing and no one believes that their team got a win. Anyways in current game, England team performed better than West indies team in first innings. West indies team only made 282 runs and entire wickets was fell down other hand, England team chased down all runs of West indies which was made in first inning and trail 94 runs. Now west indies 2 nd has started now and in 33 runs two batsman of West indies was dropped Kraigg again fail to show good effort and was dismissed for 0 run and other batsman Kirk, he scored 8 runs. Louis and Alick both these batsman are batting in pitch, Louis scores 18 runs and Alick make 5. Let's see at end of their innings, how much runs their team grab and set for England team. If I predict almost 200 more runs will set for England team.

England finish this match today and won it just because their master mind plan. As we know in the first innings of this match the full team of England was losing their wickets but when Ben Stokes arrived then the situation was good for England so this time, the captain Ben Stokes decided to open the match which was such a good decision.
At the first innings, Ben Stokes played at the 7th number but this time, he opened the innings with the great opener Ben Duckett. Ben Stokes hit 50 while Ben Duckett made less score but he played fast and most of the time, we have seen Ben Stokes while batting.

[Compromise me]

Most of us were expecting that England would whitewash this series, and that is going to happen. And so far in the first two test matches, West Indies went down by quite large margins. The third match is also going in the same way. West Indies had England down at 54/5. But then the partnership between Ben Stokes and Joe Root rescued them. By the time Ben Stokes got out they had reached 169. And then Jamie Smith played a very valuable innings to take the total to 376, with the help from lower order batsmen such as Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson.

West Indies team lose the series by 3 in 0 . We watched low class performance by West Indies players and also we know that West Indies cricket is not made for test matches and they are only made for T20 matches and all players of West Indies are aggressive but test cricket is not game of aggressive players  and they lose matches because they didn't play net practice matches of test match but big teams like Australia, England and India practice for test matches and that's why I called West Indies team as low class team. They could win this match but they didn't by bowl well and after that they lose the match and now they have low ranking in points table of test matches.West Indies team should correct their mistakes and they should develop new attitude, otherwise they will be unsuccessful in every format.

Ultimately , England International test cricket team will win the final match of series. England team is much stronger than West Indies team and West Indies team us not that of team that will play good in second inning. They are short period playing players and they always play less balls and they try to make more runs but that attitude is not good in test match because test match is a game of patience and England team has proper attitude for test match because they are champions of test tournament and they are also Inventory of cricket and they played match against Australia very  long time ago.West Indies team will lose the final match and series will be 3 in 0 and we will see England best bowling and batting and we will enjoy it because they are legends.

Agree, In second innings west indies could made only 175 runs and set a target of only 82 runs to England such a bad performance by west indies team in this test thry did not play long innings in this series. Excellent bowling by England team especially mark wood he took five wickets in second innings and west indies chase down the target in 8th overs without lose of any wickets what a strategy for west indies team to chase this target Ben stokes played fastest fifty for England team in test history He made fifty on just 24 balls which was outstanding performance It is a great honor for Ben stokes to h old the record. All credit goes to the England team who showed great performance overall the series and won three out of three matches west indies failed to win a single match England whitewashed West Indies

After watching West Indies' performance in the first match of this series, I had no expectations from this team. I was sure West Indies would lose all three Test matches. However, the West Indies batsmen made a great comeback in the first innings of the second match. But as usual West Indies lost the match due to poor second innings performance.

In the third match, West Indies scored 282 runs in the first innings. As England's top order players have not been performing well, we thought the match would be a competitive one. England lost five wickets to collect only 54 runs. Even then, England managed to take a big lead of 94 runs. On the other hand, in the second innings, the batsmen of West Indies batted badly again. West Indies' innings stopped at just 175 runs. England team reached the goal of victory without losing any wicket.

West Indies players should be more diligent. They are talented enough. But it is possible that the West Indies players have no interest in the Test and ODI formats

[Unknown Op]

Zimbabwe vs Island Ireland won this match by four wickets Ireland played this test match brilliantly. Zimbabwe scored only 210 runs in the first innings, and Ireland scored 250 runs in the next innings. However, the Zimbabwean team could not give much lead to Ireland in the 2nd innings, due to which Ireland was not under so much pressure, collecting only 197 runs. The Island team came out to meet this target of 197 runs and they scored 158 runs in the second innings to meet their target and win by four wickets. Although the opening batsmen of the Ireland team did not bat very well rather they played poorly but later on they held the game due to which Ireland won this test match.

Correct buddy, I know this was only the test match which was finished among Zimbabwe sqaud against Ireland squad. Just 4 wickets remain for play and Zimbabwe sqaud faced a defeat because of low quality scores in both innings first and second inning. If we compare their scores in first inning of both sqauds, we did not see much difference in their score like 40 scores Ireland sqaud lead this match. If Zimbabwean sqaud batters could put some more energy and strength in second inning and managed almost 300 scores then this match Zimbabwe squad easily won but due to bad performance in match their sqaud defeated and Ireland emerged victorious by 4 wickets. Peter Moor  managed 79 scores in first innings form Ireland squad side but in second inning he was wiped out at at 4 scores but in replace, these batters Andy McBrine  ans Lorcan Tucker  build strong batting partnership and managing 55 and 56 scores respectively.

I thought maybe Zimbabwe will be able to win this match. But even though the top order of Zimbabwe can bat well, the batsmen behind the squad are not able to bat well. In the first innings, Zimbabwe's two openers and no other batsmen except Williams could bat well. Due to such bad batting of the batsmen, Zimbabwe's innings stopped at only 210 runs. On the other hand, Ireland's batsmen batted better. Ireland team was able to take a lead of 40 runs.

In the second innings we again saw poor batting from the Zimbabwean batsmen. Zimbabwe managed to collect only 197 runs. The Zimbabwean team gave a target of only 158 runs. It was a very small target. Even then Ireland lost 6 wickets to win the match. And the interesting thing is that Ireland lost 5 wickets to collect only 21 runs. However, due to responsible batting by Lorcan Tucker and Andy McBrine, Ireland won.
