Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[ZAINmalik75]

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).

To be honest I wasn't expecting West Indies will even scored around 200 especially after thier previous defeat which was like a horrible dream for them because they totally scored around 250 throughout both innings but surprisingly toady they changed everyone mindset about them and for that things fully credit goes to those middle order batters Hodge and Athanaze as because through thier partnership not only they hold big number of wickets in hand but scored huge according to number of wickets they lose, and I am expecting they will easily scored around 450 if these current batters played sensibly and build as much as possible partnership in order to reduce pressure from his team and execute as much as possible pressure on England. Anyway England scored decent too but unable to deliver quality bowling and here they lose dominance. At the end it will be not be a surprising results for me if west indies beat them

Yeah, England made 416 runs in first innings and westindies team is 351/5 and day 2 stumps off excellent batting by Alick Athanaze played 82 runs innings while Kavem Hodge made 120 runs while other players contributed few runs to team's total and west indies 65 runs behind now from England side Shoaib Bashir takes two wickets. West indies team played well today they made good score with lose of five wickets Jason Holder and Joshua Da Silva are on the crease and they will start the morning session of 3rd day if they get stability in first session then they will lead on England team and pressure shifted on England side. West indies team failed to make 150 runs in both innings of first test but now they showed excellent performance

[UmerIdrees]

This time it seems that the West Indies team is doing very hard struggle because they lost their first three wickets and now those players who are at the crease, Alick Athanaze and Kavem Hodge, will have to play very cautiously and not lose any further wickets.

Also at the same time not only they have to protect their wickets but try to make runs too, Have to balance the. Kavem Hodge has just joined in while  Alick Athanaze is playing on 15. let’s see what will they do in the next some overs. 68 overs are remaining right now and after that today’s day will also finished, I hope the West Indies will do good here so we can have some excitement in the match.

Second session has completely belonged to West Indies with they are now bazballing to England we have 117 runs partnership between these batsmen Kavem Hodge playing on 53 and Alick Athanaze 59 things are interesting because we are having 201 runs in just 50 overs and match is well-balanced.

If we have more aggressive batting like this most chances we will have good end of the second day of the second match for the West Indies even still trailing by 213 runs but look like now it's difficult time for the England as well because their pace attack is not effective in this game and bowlers fail to give any impression off spinner Shoaib Bashir is doing his best for taking wickets, but he still needs more experience and time for having things favourable.

As we are all looking that how in a very amazingly style and good style the West Indies team changed the game from where we were and where we are now.   We are here in for a real twist in this game.



I can’t even imagine, this all happened just because of a player who hit a century Kavem Hodge. He made 120 in 171. At the start of this match, we all thought that once again the England prime bowling will out the West Indies team but when Kavem Hodge entered in the ground the English bowlers are looking helpless right now. If he would not done this type of batting then the West Indies team would have been all out by now. He is a game changer for WI.

The second test match between the England and West Indies team has entered in a very interesting stage and this time no more we are looking to the England team as one sided match.

Today we see how the West Indies team bat  for how long in the day and level the score and then take the lead. However, at this time, we are seeing that the England bowlers are unable to take contol of the WI innings as they did in the first test match.Although West Indies had lost their first five wickets mean the top order has played thier part and now its upto the middle and lower order to take the game further from here and Hopefull this time the West Indies team may take lead of 100 or more runs.

Yes of course, this test match was not boring like the first test match, in this match West Indies played aggressive cricket. The third day of the test match has started and I hope the West Indies will lead some good runs for England in the second inning of the match. West Indies current score is 355 runs five wickets are remaining and trail by only 61 runs i think in first session they will lead the score. England Bowlers didn't bowl well in first inning so far and if they didn't picked an early wicket then the match will be gown from their hands.
West Indies middle order batsman Jason holder is playing at 27 runs not out and Da Silva is playing at 32 runs this partnership is very important between Jason holder and Da Silva if West Indies lead 100 or more then they good chance of winning the test match.

[dezoel]

Kavem Hodge and Alick Athanaze are hero for the West Indian team on second day play what a comeback by them in second test of the series after having humiliating defeat in first game which was clearly failure of batting, but things are completely change, and they are learning from their mistakes.

England bowlers are also not effective on this flat pitch which is completely favourable for batting West Indian batting is also giving good reply to bazball with over 4 run rate throughout their inning currently they are trailing by 59 runs and having 4 wickets two set batsmen will start day for them which is interesting because this partnership can make things easier for them, and they can go for the little lead as well.

We have first session with quality cricket from the 9th and 10th number batsmen from the West Indies which added 71 runs and now West Indies having 41 runs lead which is surely huge moral booster for them because they were able to spend 111 overs at the crease which were not expected from them in these conditions.

After having poor batting in first test now they have done amazing stuff, and we are ended their first inning with the score of 457 Josh Da Silva and Shamar Joseph smashed all bowlers all around the ground which was good entertainment for the fans we have two centuries for English bowlers as Shoaib Saqib and Gus Atkinson concede too many runs.

Now in second inning we have early breakthrough for the West Indies as Crawly who is having bad time gone without having any good number against his name with just 3 runs and England is now having after 3 overs 15 for 1.

In this innings, West Indies just finished their trail but I think they would not able to lead this test match by a big margin because at that time they were trail by the six runs and they were on the last wicket, mean while the English bowlers are doing batting.
This time the West Indian team played good more than the expectations and hopefully now in bowling we will see the same performance by them because it is important to be good in the all departments especially for West Indies team to win this match or even have a draw.

[Haunebu]

West Indies were something else in the first innings, but I doubt they can replicate such a good performance in the 2nd innings if they are unable to restrict the English side below 300 in the 2nd innings.

England are all set to score above 300 yet again thanks to WI bowling like crap which should help them win unless rain interferes or if there is some other issue.

England has  scored  116 runs while playing the second innings and rain has started due to which this match is being delayed , but Z Crawley  is out again for three runs. B Duckett  and O pope  participation was going and B Duckett  was batting well and Pope had a good performance in the first innings and this time also he playimg very well .Now let's see when this match starts and when we get to see their spirited performance, this match will be quite tough because west India had completed the target of England first innings with a very good performance and this time England  A special performance will have to be done and it will happen only if there is a good partnership from England and so far  Duckett and pope have scored 100 runs, if this partnership works then England can give a tough target in this innings.

This match could be go anywhere, maybe West Indies could win this or England. The two days after this day and as we have seen West Indies can make more than 400 so this time, England is also in danger (only if WI can repeat their performance).

England are now lead by 110 runs and they have to try as much score they can make today because tomorrow half day, they have to bat and then give chance to West Indies batting else there will be less time left in the match and may this test match will drawn. That is why don’t have to focus on wickets and play freely because this time, it is good for England. The more lead they pile up, it will put pressure on the West Indies bowlers and batsmen too.

[Sithara007]

England leading by 172 runs at this point, and they have 7 wickets in hand. So far the bowlers have struggled from both the teams. And even if England can get to a lead of around 350, it won't guarantee a win for them. And I hope that they realize the value of Jimmy Anderson after this match. When he was spearheading the bowling attack, the other bowlers had a lot of room for maneuvering, as he was very miserly when it comes to conceding runs. But in this match, the England pace trio of Woakes/Atkinson/Wood has conceded plenty of runs.

England batsmen have set a good target in the first innings.  If we talk about his second innings his perform has been very poor.  And I already talked about their match that it is impossible for West Indies to win.  Because their performance is not enough to beat England.  For this reason I was in favor of the England team.  And the perform and goal of this match prove that my prediction was correct.  If West Indies kept their pace in this match, they could have won the match.  Because England's target was 76 in the second innings.  Therefore, if their batsmen kept their pace in their first innings, the target could have been achieved.  But West Indies were also under pressure.  Due to this, West Indies missed out on winning the match.Congratulations to England on this win.  Their goal was neither so big nor so easy.  West should emphasize his performance it will be better for him.

[Haunebu]

England are decimating WI at the moment thanks to literally every player stepping up(Except for Crawley who was unfortunate). They are on track to provide a lead of around 350+ which should be enough in my opinion.

Another spamming dumdum. Which match are you watching? England hasn't won yet fella. Hilarious stuff.

The England team is leading the score by 207 runs, I think this is a time where West Indies have to pick back to back wickets tomorrow. They have to pick early wickets on day 4 because whenever England players start to make partnership in test then to stop them is very difficult. It seems Harry Brook had a mood to hit the century so let's see just tomorrow West Indies team have to try their best and do good bowling. This time, Shamar Joseph is not playing well in bowling but instead of him Alzzari Joseph playing well.

He's probably looking into the future where he has already seen the England win

Current status of both sqauds are good and at this timez it is very difficult to say that which sqaud will emerge victory in this test match and both sqauds already played their first innings and there has not much difference in performance among these sqauds West indies and England. Today 3 days completed to start this match and England batter already entered on crease for playing their second Innings and their batter also managed 248 scores with lost of 3 batter wickets and their squad also achieved first West indies trailing scores of their first inning and almost West indies sqaud trailed 41 scores which was not too high just normal. If West indies tomorrow will showcase amazing bowling performance and restricted the batter of England sqaud below 350 scores then West indies victory will definitely done.

It's true that especially after absence of thier main bowler like Anderson Thier bowling lineup become more off colour and a normal like any other team have and Thier sharpness has gone with Anderson retirement anyway West Indies has played really good especially in first innings and not only filled the required target but add some decent lead too and now while in England second innings they lose some of thier previous innings high scorer like Duckett and pope who can really changed the entire momentum but now they have scored 240 around with a brook and root are still on crease and still have 7 wickets in hand so I believe they will scored easily around 400 and I don't believe West Indies will repeat his previous innings back so that why I will favour England but I am not predicting west indies defeat but just share my point of view according to statscis and player potential

At this time England is leading with 207 runs.
By the way I was not expecting such kind of performance from West Indies because we have seen in the last test match that how they perform badly. But in this test match their comeback make me wonder.
Well you are right if England will make a lead of 350 runs so it is not guarantee that the England will win because West Indies has ability to chase that target so we can't say anything at this time. So let's England finish their inning.

[noormcs5]

now while in England second innings they lose some of thier previous innings high scorer like Duckett and pope who can really changed the entire momentum but now they have scored 240 around with a brook and root are still on crease and still have 7 wickets in hand so I believe they will scored easily around 400 and I don't believe West Indies will repeat his previous innings back so that why I will favour England but I am not predicting west indies defeat but just share my point of view according to statscis and player potential

Once again Ben Duckett hit more than 70 score which is too good for the England team. At the same time, West Indies team was on fire when they fun out Zak Crawley and hoped to pick wickets fast but then England made partnership. Now this match is becoming an thriller match if England team would out between the 330 and 370 score then for sure it is too easy for West Indies to win it. Anything can happen in tommorow opening session of the day.


 
A great thing for West Indies that as we are all have seen Ollie Pope last innings performance, he easily hit century but this time, the West Indies bowler out to him when he just crossed to fifty. England team is leading the score by 207 runs.

Exactly the fourth day of the match will be exciting because West Indies has made a great comeback and they are now showing their power. In the last match they were not good in batting and bowling too. But in current match they are trying well.
If England will make a lead of 370 runs so this will not be a tough target for West Indies according to the current situation of the team. So this thing is making the match exciting and I hope West Indies will make the series 1-1.

[3kpk3]

The England team is leading the score by 207 runs, I think this is a time where West Indies have to pick back to back wickets tomorrow. They have to pick early wickets on day 4 because whenever England players start to make partnership in test then to stop them is very difficult. It seems Harry Brook had a mood to hit the century so let's see just tomorrow West Indies team have to try their best and do good bowling. This time, Shamar Joseph is not playing well in bowling but instead of him Alzzari Joseph playing well.

Well said. Am not expecting West Indies to win this one, but they could draw it if they somehow manage to restrict England under 300 which seems really tough thanks to Brook and Root who are on a roll.

Also, Shamar Joseph hasn't taken any wickets, but is not conceding many runs either while Alzarri has been their best bowler across both innings.
