Day-4 stumps:

West Indies 301/5 chasing 455.

Brilliant resistance for the windies but can they do it? I'm sorry I don't think so... Chanderpaul and Ramdin are the last recognised batsmen: Test debutant Sammy has 25 first class average but only scored 1 in the first innings... Taylor could score some runs but his best is 23*... Edwards and Collymore averages are below 10... as Bearman wrote, two more wickets and it's over... so Chanderpaul and Ramdin should reach 400/420 before being (both) dismissed to have West Indies with some chance. I saw Ramdin batting against India in the last match of the Test series past july and he can bat, so he could be one to rely on... btw the highest successful run chase in Test cricket is 418 by West Indies themselves on Australia in 2003:

can they do it again? (and better!)
