The West Indies have won the toss and have decided to bowl first in this the second and final Test at the Windsor Park in Roseau.

The West Indies team remains unchanged from the first Test in Barbados.

Zimbabwe cricketer Brendan Taylor said “If we had won the toss, we would have batted.”

He also stated that history has shown that the pitch favours spin.

Meanwhile Windies captain, Darren Sammy, said his team wants to put pressure on the visitors early. “We want to put them under pressure very early and so our aim is to restrict them for a low total and win this game big,” he said.

The day started with rain and gray clouds but this has lifted and now the sky is clear and the sun is out.

    I am looking at the cricket all the way in England,very proud indded.Then the camera pans round the ground and the commentator comments on the absence of government officials in the VIP stand.I am not trying to turn this into a political issue but should we not be setting an example and be representing and supportingth cricket when it comes to our shores?I must say I felt a bit embarrassed by such no show.We need to take every opportunity and put our best foot forward when opportunity comes knocking and we need to market our country to the outside world.Come on politicians,wake up from your slumber.
