Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

England are cruising at the moment against the weak Windies who are playing bad cricket thanks to below average performances across all departments. Expected a lot more more Shamar Joseph, but he keeps disappointing.

West Indies are missing quality spinners are over-reliant on their fast bowlers. England looks all set to win this one by an innings too.

England lost a few quick wickets and that means that they will end up somewhere near 400 rather than my earlier prediction of 450-500. The partnership between Ben Stokes and Jamie Smith was looking very threatening, but then part-timer Kavem Hodge removed both of them. At this point, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood are adding some valuable runs and the partnership between them is already worth 34 runs. Shoaib Bashir is to come next at no.11, and I am not expecting much from him (with the bat, that is).

Yes, the Third session of the day is continuing England currently scored 294 runs in a loss of 5 wickets. Ben Duckett played well and scored 71 runs from just 59 balls playing like T20 cricket with a strike rate of 120. Ollie Pope also played an outstanding inning of 121 runs with 15 four and 1 six in his inning and reached the England total near 300 runs. Ben Stokes is playing now at 48 runs not out very close to half-century his inning is very important for England if they set a huge total for west indies in Frist inning. from West Indies Alzarri Joseph bowl well so far picked 2 important wickets. Joseph and Sinclair also picked 1, 1 wicket but didn't bowl some extraordinary spell that put pressure on England batters. I think England will set a total of 450 plus runs in the first inning of the second test match against the West Indies.

At the start of this test match. when Zak Crawley lost his wicket then West Indies team got a good start but they could not capitalize on it. They has not focused to put pressure on the opponent and playing calm down that is why Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope  played amazing innings and made such a gorgeous partnership



Even after Ben Duckett lost his wicket some overs before while on the other side the Ollie Pope was still present in the game and making partnership with Harry Brook . By the way, I think Harry Brook wanted to play like Ben Duckett too fast and he's playing like this such a fast play. Chris Woakes and Jamie Smith also made good runs and everyone chipped in and England made a very good total of 416 runs at the end of the Day 1.

The second Test match between England and West Indies has started shortly. Between these two teams, England proved that they are stronger in the first match as they defeated West Indies miserably in that match and are already ahead in the series. We saw in the first test match that the England team fielded first but in the second test match they decided to bat first. At the moment they have collected 21 runs for a wicket today with their first wicket falling within a few runs at the start. If the West Indies bowlers are going to bowl well today, maybe they will learn from their failure in the first Test and try to bowl well in the second Test match.

I am not expecting some well performance from west indies especially after thier previous performances where they perform like deadly a****s, I know Thier behaviour and aggressive play style didn't match one of the longest format of the cricket and that's why there were one of danger in T20 but when it come to test things goes changed 180°. Anyway according to current score board where England bat first after losing toss and scored more than 400 runs before the inning stump with the huge contribution of Duckett, pope and the Thier magnificent captain stokes. I know from start of the match that it gona be another victory for England as I am sure west indies will not even goes near the Target and England will nailed it easily.

First of all Zak Crawley got out on first three balls. Which was showing that England would pressurized due to this but. Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope partnership pulled the match in exciting phase. But when they got out so we saw Ben Stockes who played little well and collected 69 runs. Otherwise there is no better performance. So in total England has made 416 runs.
And if we take a look on the previous test match so according to that match this is an enough score for West Indies team. And I don't think so the West Indies will give any lead to England team.
