Bemusing to see cricket stuck in the dark ages and not allow the use the lights later to ensure they do get the overs bowled...
uh, red ball? Need a horrible pink/white to be able to see the damn thing

Yeah but I think the idea is to "supplement" the light, not actually play in the dark. Should be plenty of light at 7PM, we are only a couple of weeks from the summer solstice.

ah crap, missed that entirely. They can't use the lights AT ALL? if so, I couldn't agree more with OP - that's stuck in the dark ages.
edit: @gunner sorry fella, didn't understand your comment

@nzzp this is what I meant, not to play into the night.

You'd be tearing you hair out if you were the Windies bowling coach. It's just dross bowling. Wasted the new ball, wasted the opening session on bowling that was either short and straight or full and wide.
Yep, as @Snowy said when the pitch is green you need to make hay in the first session or it can quickly turn into a long day, and you end up putting yourself way behind the game given you will have to bat last.

@No-Quarter Doull thinks the wicket will stay the same for all of Day Two so there is still plenty of time for them to get their shit together.
Really disappointing effort to date though. They don't seem to have learned anything from wasting a similar opportunity at the Basin three years ago.

So 99-1 at a delayed tea break after 35 overs Latham 45 although he nicked it on 43 but only Bravo (behind the stumps) appealed and it was turned down Kane 39
Windies not patient enough and not consistently bowling the right length. Have been a couple of jaffas that probably deserved a wicket but very few of them and BC's have prospered. Not thge score you want if you've inserted

Haha. How did I know you were going to say something like that. Probably because I was going to, but you were quicker (and better).

One of the Spark coms (maybe Rigor?) reckoned the grass would dry out (along with the pitch getting a bit harder and it would be easier on day two. It doesn't appear to be a minefied anyway and I'm not sure the WI are using it well.

Curtley Ambrose would take 9-2 on that deck

Anyone got a radio internet link that can be used overseas?
Dunno if you can use this - Magic Talk covering it in NZ.

Ambrose could do that on most decks. It actually isn't doing as much as it looks like it should and I have been watching since start of play. I do think the bowling has been pretty shit though.

Just the guys running in get smacked. Too many variables to compare.So in other words a bunch of blokes discussing sport ?
