West Indies vs Proteas 1st test preview

Tomorrow is the start of the 1st test between West Indies and Proteas at Gros Islet St Lucia Daren Sammy National cricket stadium. Both teams are starting a new era to their cricket history as both have new captains.

There will be a few test caps handed out on both sides ahead of the first test. Conditions have been said to be in favour of seamers so could see both teams go in with 4 seamers.

West Indies could give a debut to Jayden Seals who has played just 1 first-class match and the main reason for his debut is an injury to Gabriel. Also, there will be a return for Shai Hope and Kieran Powell to the team.

West Indies Probable XI: 1. Kraig Brathwaite(C), 2. Kieran Powell, 3 Shai Hope, 4. Kyle Mayers, 5. Jermaine Blackwood, 6. Jason Holder, 7. Joshua da Silva, 8. Rakeem Cornwall, 9. Alzarri Joseph, 10. Kemar Roach, 11, Jayden Seales

Proteas will have Keegan Petersen making his Debut in the middle order and he will take the place left vacant by Faf Du Plessis. With Bavuma struggling with a hip injury Kyle Verreynne could be the second debutant for the Proteas tomorrow. the bowling attack is most likely to be the same 4 seamers and a spinner unless conditions permitting.

Proteas Probable XI: 1. Dean Elgar (C), 2. Aiden Markram, 3. Rassie van der Dussen, 4. Keegan Peterson, 5. Kyle Verreynne, 6. Quinton de Kock, 7. Wiaan Mulder, 8. Keshav Maharaj, 9. Kagiso Rabada, 10. Anrich Nortje, 11. Lungie Ngidi/Tabraiz Shamsi

These were my predictions of how the starting XI could look for tomorrows game. Do share your thoughts in the comment section.

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

The second test match between Proteas and India kicked off on a high note with the hosts putting up a horrendous batting performance on day 1. The Proteas team won the toss and elected to bat first, but they failed to make the most of the opportunity as the Indian bowlers wreaked havoc on the home team's batting line-up bowling them out for 55. Mohammed Siraj was the chief destroyer with 6 wickets for 15 runs in 9 overs. He was equally supported by Mukesh and Bumrah both taking 2 wickets each. The Indian team lost their first wicket early on, with Jaiswal departing for a duck. The rest of the top-order batsmen struggled to get going as well, and the team was bowled out for 153. However, a brilliant counter-attacking innings from Markram helped the home team to 62-3 at stumps to steady the ship. It was an excellent day for bowlers on both sides as 23 wickets fell for 270 runs. The Proteas bowlers, led by Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, were impressive after t...

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 3 review

The third day of the third Test match between Australia and Pakistan was exciting, with both teams battling it out on the field. Australia resumed on 116-2 with Labuschange and Smith continuing to score steadily and take Australia closer to Pakistan's first innings score of 313. Labuschange and Smith added 71 runs before both Smith and Labuschange lost their wickets one after the other. Australia then managed a few small partnerships to take their score to 289 before collapsing to 299 all out giving Pakistan a first-innings lead of 14 runs. Pakistan began their 2nd innings in the worst way possible by losing 2 quick wickets in opener Abdulla Shafiq and Captain Shan Masood both for ducks. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam then gave Pakistan some hope with a partnership of 57 before Pakistan's batting collapsed from 58-2 to 68-7 to end the day staring at defeat and missing another chance to win their 1st test in 28 years. Pakistan last won a test match in Australia in 1995...
