Jeez Craig is almost behind the crease.
Surprised we have to seen a short ball yet.

I know the pitch is expected to do more at the start, but we could still look to pick up the odd single rather than just blocking and being ultra defensive.

They haven't had much to hit. Two missed drives from Joylord is all

The Windies have fielded very well so far. This is another aspect that separates associates from most full members.

Craig not timing it yet either. Lots of nerves out there

Against associates, some of these drives that they stopped would have been boundaries.

Yes, which is very odd. Fielding is the only part of cricket where a rank amateur can do as well as a professional.

I don't mean hit for fours. I mean just working the ball for a single.

I was just about to make this point. We also missed a lot of these last game. It's the small things that win games.

Joylord batting outside off gives me the delirium tremens. Can't miss anything if you do that. He's doing it well
