I'd be guessing Chanderpaul probably held the West Indian record for most balls faced in a match previously?

Braithwaite would have to be one of the most unconvincing semi successful opening batsman ever. Has no style at all and a technique you'd think wouldn't last 5 overs. Credit to him for showing such determination but is someone i cant stand to watch

Lara faced 582 balls in making an unbeaten 400 against England in 2004.

No, Brian Lara previously held the record for most balls faced in a test match, 582 vs England in 2004, when he made his 400*.

Whilst its crap cricket to watch I'm glad to see the Windies have a trio of batsmen in particular Braithwaite, Bonner and Da Silva who are willing to dig in and try and play a test innings. Its been a long time coming for the Windies and can only hold them in good sted as they move forward.

For the first time in 15 years there looks to be some light at the end of the tunnel.

All out for 204 at stumps, 89.4 overs.

[DoublebluTiger]

West Indies are eking out a 1st innings lead on day 2 of the 3rd test v England.

8/221 late in the day in response to England's 204. Every run is valuable it would appear.

Just a very average side. Think we have won 1 of our last 17 tests now. The batting is just bog average but once again not picking the big 2 with the ball when Robinson was clearly not fit, Archer out and wood Is always doubtful is just simply criminal.
