I wouldn't quite go that far. I watched a very competitive Windies team playing at the then being renovated Adelaide oval last tour. Seems an age ago but my main memories were Gayles making 150 on the Monday, the members being on the other side of the ground for renovations and Doug the Flog getting fined for questioning an umpire or being a c@cksmoker or something.

Certainly the first real heart and grit that we have seen on this tour.

Hey ease up on Marlon, he excited the G so quickly yesterday he has now qualified for the West Indies Olympic 4 x 100 squad.

As for Bravo, he has given me close to a days value on my top scorer bet and taken the lead just in the nick of time. Bravo indeed :)

Hilarious wicket celebration. Looked more like surprise than joy. Well done to Braithwaite, he has had a real dip this test with bat and ball.

Yep love seeing enjoyment like that, was enjoying his own success with the celebration rather than giving the batsmen a gob full

Wholeheartedly agree. Nothing wrong with running around with your mates enjoying the moment. Leave the batsman to walk off. Despite the slide at the end he didn't snub his team mates or feel the need to make the celebration just about himself. There have been some shockers for that, it's one of the reasons I find it hard to watch soccer. It peeves me that a few bowlers have let it creep into cricket.

To be fair while Bravo did bat well in the end, there was a long time that he batted very selfishly. Looked a heck of a lot like he was batting to boost the average until he seemed to think he might ton up, then the shots came along. 2 runs in an hour is not the way a test batsman should be going about it.

But yeah, Nicholas the worst by miles.
