We wrongly predicted a stunning West Indies fightback in the first Test against Pakistan. It turns out that they were just biding their time until the second Test.
At 212-2 and even 315-5, Pakistan looked well-set for one of their traditionally humungous first innings totals, as is their wont at home. Thanks to Jerome Taylor they collapsed to 357 all out. He finished with 5-91. We still haven't seen him live, but he's quick and he takes wickets, so we can't see any problems. We've previously included
a video of the hat-trick he took during the Champions' Trophy.
After that, the West Indian openers made the most of the momentum by reaching 151-0 at the close of play. You see:
Bowling's always the key.
We're making a conscious effort to not ignore the whole of the rest of the cricketing world while the Ashes are on. You're with us, right?
