WI rout is on

IT WAS ANOTHER ONE of those disappointing days for West Indies yesterday.

The regional side conceded a mammoth first innings advantage and were forced to follow on during the third day of the first Test against India at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua.

Responding to India’s 566 for eight declared, West Indies were swept aside for 243. Batting a second time with a deficit of 323, they closed the day on 21 for one.

West Indies’ problems started when nightwatchman Devendra Bishoo (left) was dismissed in the morning session to the delight of the Indians. (Picture courtesy WICB Media/ Johnny Jno Baptiste.)
