It was a bad shot. We need another 50+ run partnership just to settle things down a bit.

I hate being right most of the time. You are inviting trouble sweeping on a bouncing track if you can’t smother it.

I think it was just a poor choice of shot to play it so early in the innings. Every other sweep up to then had been productive.

Anyway, I guess this means we're in need of an Ervine classic now. He's looked good so far.

It's been WI's session, but if we can be at 4/200 at tea things will be interesting.

we need at least one of these niggas to ton up with one fifty in support.

Another way of saying it, is we need to be 100 ahead at innings close.

Missed the first session. Was looking ok before those late ones. Just need these two to bat to tea and we will be set up.

Yes the Masakadza dismissal was just good bowling but BT played a poor shot.

The Windies seemed to be flat when Hami & Ervine we’re batting but these wickets have given them some life.

Williams looked shaky needs a score here

Watched till Mire got out. Happy with him so far (in fact, still excited with the prospects with him at the top). We need to accept that he would be like this and see if he can be of any help over a period of time. Need to give him a fair run.

Looks like another solid knock unconverted by Hamilton. And the comments seem to suggest he got a good ball while Taylor threw it away a bit prematurely?

Yes, that better work today.

EDIT: Thanks jaybro, you confirmed the dismissals there
