now is the time for gayle to really step up with a captain's

[Baddaz]

inning... this 503 is massive... it can be done if all our big bats apply themselves to the task... that would be perhaps the greatest win for the west indies in history...

should west indies play for the win or the draw...

[Islandman]

Try and bat out the day without losing any wickets and re-evaluate the situation tomorrow.

[Gamma]

yup...evaluate it session by session.

if gayle can get the team to pull it off it would be the greatest second innings victory target, surpassing the current one which is also held by windies.....was it in antigua or b'dos?

totally agree... devon smith is due a big inning... now is his opportunity on a pitch that favors the batting...

[Jangle]

[Gamma]

but i will tell you this..i enjoyed the win the other day FAR more than you did or could have! it was "toe curling"

[Me]

rain have to save us.

[Baddaz]

only rain can save us... let us pray...

[Me]

well it supposed to rain all day tomorrow in Antigua, so we will see.

[Peter R]

Antigua I believe.

I am reading this after the days play but my answer would have been...that we should play for the draw today and then re-evaluate at day's end. Now if that were the plan and at days end we are 143/3 that leaves us 360 to score in a day...while possible hardly likely with our personnell. Once Sarwan or Chanderpaul go that's it, game set match. Punto final. No one except for Taylor has made any significan runs so we corner dark. Pray for rain!
