"Some of the deliveries that got some of these guys out, it looked a little bit kindergartenish at times." That's how Vivian Richards summed up the West Indies batting display in a rain-hit Day 4 at Sabina Park on Tuesday.
The second Test could have easily ended on Day 4. But bad weather gave West Indies a lifeline.
Starting the second innings with a deficit of 304 runs, the home team collapsed to 48 for four. Only 15.5 overs were bowled before lunch after a late start caused by intermittent drizzle, and heavy rain throughout the afternoon prevented further play.
With a forecast for mainly fine weather on Wednesday, the Windies will need a miracle to survive three full sessions without losing six wickets. The crushing defeat in the first match in Antigua meant the hosts had lost seven out of eight tests, drawing the other game.
The failure of four top West Indian batsmen - Darren Bravo and Marlon Samuels included - is yet again a reflection of the death of Test cricket in the Caribbean.
