  2. Day 2 of India-WI test match at the Darren Sammy Cricket Stadium at Gros Islet, St. Lucia, was a mixed bag for India. http://vaikundarajans.wordpress.com

  3. “RavichandranAshwin and WriddhimanSaha rescued India from what could’ve been an early collapse on day 1 itself. The collapse still did come through, albeit after a marathon 6th wicket partnership of 213 runs between the two batsmen”, observes Vaikundarajan. http://vaikundarajanblog.blogspot.in

  4. Both batsmen struck fighting centuries, with Ashwin making 118, reaching his hundred with a six off Rolston Chase, after he’d faced 265 balls, and Saha making 104 off 227 balls. This was Saha’s maiden test century. Saha played an aggressive knock on Wednesday morning, as opposed to Ashwin who chose to hang around for as long as possible. “Ashwin’s approach could be a lesson for top-order batsmen who needed to apply themselves a bit on a difficult-to-bat wicket,” opines Vaikundarajan. http://vaikundarajans.blogspot.in

  5. Although the joy lasted till midway after lunch when Saha fell, and India lost 5 wickets for just 14 runs after the mammoth stand. India were eventually bowled out for 353 runs. West Indies replied with a strong effort from their top order, with the opening batsmen bringing up their first 50-run partnership in the series, and in fact their first in the last 26 innings together. http://vaikundarajans.wordpress.com

  6. Though a direct hit from K L Rahul sent opening batsmen Johnson back to the pavilion, with the score reading 59. Darren Bravo came to the crease then, and together batted out 23 overs with Brathwaite. http://vaikundarajanblog.blogspot.in

  7. The pitch seemed to have eased out, with Indian bowlers not getting much out of it. The two batsmen comfortably put on 48 runs for the second wicket. RavindraJadeja (0-9), playing for the first time in the series, made the batsmen play as much as possible, but to no avail. “India will need a strong start from their seamers on the morning of Day 3, to make a dent in the Windies batting line-up, and hope that Ashwin matches his batting performance with a few wickets”, reflects Vaikundarajan. http://vaikundarajans.blogspot.in
