The second test is interestingly poised. My prediction (which historically has seldom turned out to be correct!) is that Pak will win this test. Here are some of my reasons:
- The Pak team has a rare killer instinct.
- A target of around 300 in the last innings is always hard.
- West Indies has played very consistently this test series. This is a pretty inconsistent phenomenon in itself! In other words, a complete failure from the WI is long over due.
- Lara, whose batting forms the backbone, has scored consistently and its about time he fails.
Pran, although my gut tells me you’ll end up being right I want so much for the Windies to win. Not because of any Anti-Pak feelings, but because I want cricket in the west indies to come back in popularity. I think it’ll be great if Chanders can win a test series. It’ll also be a boost for the coach King. Also, the bowlers will realize that unless they deliver, the team can never be in a position to win. The last innings is always a mental game. If Gayle and Smith can give a good start I have a feeling that Sarwan, Lara and Chanders will pull them through. I also think sending Wavell Hinds at 6 is a good strategy. Go WI!!!- Brotherman
