Gudakesh Motie took 7/37 & 6/42.

13 wickets in his third Test.

Before anyone jumps all over this, saying it was only Bangladesh, Alzarri Joseph took 1/29 & 1/23 in his 27th. Test. The even more experienced Jason Holder took 3/34 for the Test.

The Windies won by an innings and 4 runs.

Well, Zimbabwe, who are even worse than Bangladesh...

But the draw was big favourite going in. In hindsight dunno why. But Ballance didn't play. Injury? That helped WI.

Well, they're not spinners. Don't wanna compare Cummins and Kuhnemann in Delhi, right?

But, yes, well done to Motie. He said the pitch was like his home pitch. Don't think pitches in WI spin so much.

Ruled out with migraine.

Sheesh... Must've been a #(*&@ big migraine.

----------------------------------------------------

"From his debut in Sydney amid the wreckage of the 2013-14 Ashes, through to the West Indies tour the following winter, Ballance was a pillar of strength at No. 3 in the order. It took him just ten Tests, and 17 innings, to reach 1000 Test runs - behind only Herbert Sutcliffe and Len Hutton as the fastest for England. At that point, he averaged 67.93, with four hundreds and five fifties.

But the flame quickly guttered. Ballance's next 13 Tests yielded just two half-centuries and by the time he was dropped for the third time in mid-2017, his Test average sat at 37.45.
...

Despite growing up on a tobacco farm in Harare, Ballance does have British roots through his grandparents, one of whom flew for the RAF during World War II. "
