Domingo: ‘Very disappointing’ to see Bangladesh make ‘basic errors’
After the second day of play ended, coach Russell Domingo’s voice was not without a hint of sadness. West Indies had a 106-run lead after reaching 340 at stumps, but it was a long cry from being reduced to 132 for four just before lunch because the visitors were upbeat following their unexpected batting collapse, which had left them down by four runs.
In the span of 12 deliveries, the home team lost four wickets for 32 runs, with three of those going for just one run. However, a dominant 116-run fifth-wicket partnership by Kyle Mayers and Jermaine Blackwood put an end to Bangladesh’s chances for the last two sessions.
While putting on another 92 runs for the sixth wicket without being broken with Joshua Da Silva, Mayers scored his second Test century.
He continued, saying that the hitters of Bangladesh should take notes from those of the West Indies, notably Mayers, who has already scored two centuries in as many series, especially when his side was in serious danger.
Many players are looking for their form and their runs. It is only possible to get past it by continuously batting. Many 30s and 40s, with the occasional 50. Nobody is acting in the manner that Kyle Mayers is.
