WI opener M. Luis in his 3rd test as opener looks solid

Port of spain is slow track with reputation of Spinner wicket but WI captain not gave bowling to jumadin (specialist spinner)Brathwaite allows Zorzi to set well, he used Gudakesh Motie who remains wicket less for 103/0.

Indian spinner always gests success at port of spain koz our greats Bedi / prasana / venkat & chandra's Experience of Variation & they use the condition well.

Keshav Maharaj ( Typical Religious Brahmin with "Janoi" on his body, he was praying this morning but markram dropped a sitter of his bowling, time will tell how costly it will be( Captain Brathwaite on 7 than off 45 ball)

Not a single WI batsman not comfortable vs Keshav Maharaj who picked 3 for 45

Debutant Kacey carty scored 42, Luis 35 & Brathwaite 35 run out
