2nd Test: Discussion Was There On Batting Again, Wicket Has Slowed Down Even More, Says Ten Doeschate
But surprisingly, India enforced the follow-on and, after taking the first two wickets quickly, struggled to get more breakthroughs, thanks to a spirited fightback from John Campbell and Shai Hope, making 87 and 66 respectively. Though the West Indies need 97 more runs to make India bat again, questions will be raised over whether the hosts could have batted again.
Ryan ten Doeschate, India’s assistant coach, admitted that there was a discussion on batting again in the game, which they decided against doing so due to the 270-run lead in hand. But with the surface slowing down even more, as ten Doeschate observed, it made breakthroughs harder to come by for the Indian bowling line-up, as Campbell and Hope combined for an unbroken 138-run stand.
