The way Windies are dominating Zim makes me wonder if they aren’t going to moer us as well.

I don't think the Windies batsmen would handle the likes of Nortje, Rabada & Jansen as effectively. I suspect we're going to have them easily covered.

Define better. They got thrashed in both tests. I would say it was pretty equal in terms of terrible test performances.

They had a centurion and scored more than 300 runs. Showed more fight and application with the bat.

Zim has just recruited Gary Ballance. Last test was playing for Eng against SA in 2017.

I am looking forward to seeing the batsmen looking bewildered on a pitch expected to turn from ball one.

There's accusations going around that India are cooking up pitches with more rough for the lefties.

Oh. That is deviously clever considering how many left handers aus have. India only have jadeja as a lh batsmen.
