A kicking, screaming short ball, too fast and too close to the batsman for a proper response. Was he cutting, punching, or defending? It seemed an awkward and only partially intentional combination of all three, and before he knew it Virat Kohli was gone, caught at first slip.Two genuine quicks sharing the new ball, another waiting to bowl. A fast, bouncy pitch, and a picturesque backdrop, in this case the Beausejour Hills with a manually operated scoreboard in front of it, saying 19 for 2. This, belatedly, was an echo of the West Indies that cricket fans have known and loved.Miguel Cummins had been in the squad since the first Test, but had only been part of their attack since the second. Alzarri Joseph had been in the squad since the second Test, but was only now making his debut, and was only now getting to bounce out Indias captain and best batsman. On the final day of the Sabina Park Test, West Indies had glimpsed a middle order with the potential to serve them for a long time. Now they were seeing, possibly, a pace attack take shape.Shannon Gabriel had struck first getting Shikhar Dhawan caught down the leg side, experiencing the stroke of luck his bowling has deserved all series. At the other end, Joseph gave the world a first glimpse - at senior level - of the effortless pace his lanky, loose-limbed frame could generate. He greeted Kohli with a bouncer that left him on his backside, foreshadowing the dismissal that was to come.Later, Cummins would come on and bowl just as quick, almost none of his pace coming from his shuffling run-up and almost all of it generated by the final thrust of shoulder and arm, and attack the throats of KL Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane. They popped three balls in the general direction of short leg. There was no fielder in place the first time, and the ball eluded him narrowly the next two times. India, playing with only five batsmen for the third time in the series - and on this occasion shuffling two of them out of position - were being seriously tested for the first time, from both ends, with little respite.It wasnt all short and brutal. In the second session, West Indies seamers came out with an entirely different plan, and tested Indias patience in the corridor. Jason Holder, who has done this all series, was expected to bowl this way, but perhaps not Joseph in his first Test. He bowled eleven straight dot balls to Rohit Sharma after lunch, the bulk of them outside off stump, on a good length or just short of it, and bat came feeling for ball against the 12th ball, which straightened just enough to take the edge.West Indies had three genuine fast bowlers and a medium-paced fourth seamer, and all of them were doing their bit. They were bowling on the quickest surface of the series. Yet, by the end of the day, their busiest bowler was their offspinner, Roston Chase. At stumps, his figures read 23-8-38-2.Shortly before lunch, Chase had dismissed Rahul against the run of play. His best work, however, came between lunch and tea, when he sent down an eight-over spell that only cost his side nine runs and built enough frustration to pry out Indias last specialist batsman, Rahane.In that spell, Chase bowled quickish offbreaks on a stump-to-stump line, with the leg side heavily guarded. The six leg-side fielders were, typically, a short leg, a mid-on who would occasionally drop back to long-on, two midwickets - one straighter and close to the bat, the other squarer and slightly deeper - square leg and short fine leg. The only fielders on the off side were mid-off, extra cover and slip.Given the situation they were in, and Chases line, India couldnt risk the sweep, particularly on a bouncy pitch with short fine leg waiting for the top edge. This allowed West Indies to suffocate India further with square leg saving the single rather than stationed on the boundary. Of the 39 balls Chase bowled to Rahane and R Ashwin between lunch and tea, the batsmen played 20 into the leg side, for five runs, and 18 into the off side - 15 of them either towards mid-off or cover - for four runs. Chase hardly overpitched, and almost never dropped short enough to cut through the vacant region stretching from point to third man, or to pull over square leg.Something had to give and it was Rahanes patience. Over the course of Chases spell, he had gone from 32 off 96 balls to 35 off 132. Out came the sweep, against a slow, loopy delivery that was a full toss if he hit it and a yorker if he missed. It was either the wrong ball for the sweep - its steep downward trajectory minimising the horizontal bats margin for error - or just poor execution. The ball dipped, eluded Rahanes bat, and bowled him. India were 126 for 5.On a first-day pitch with little help for his offspin, Chase had done far more than anyone may have expected. He gave nothing away, bowled more overs than anyone else, and allowed the quicks to bowl shorter, sharper spells.West Indies may have found a group of promising fast bowlers, though no one at this stage would be silly enough to compare any of them to the greats of the 1980s. But they may just have unearthed a tall, restrictive offspinner not unlike Roger Harper. In the West Indies side he played for, Harper only needed to bowl around 15 overs an innings, but performed that task admirably, ending up as his teams most economical bowler of the 80s while maintaining a sub-30 bowling average.On Tuesdays evidence, Chase could do a similar job with the ball while offering far more with the bat. If West Indies build on the promise of their fast bowlers, they might yet assemble a consistently dangerous Test-match attack. Marc Gasol Raptors Jersey .

After four long days of matches to decide who advances into the next round of the Overwatch Winter Premiere Open Play, the last five spots out of eight were finally confirmed. Kingdom eSports, Cloud9 and compLexity Gaming made it through the first three days of the open qualifiers by winning that days bracket while everyone else racked up points instead. Four teams would be seeded through by winning all of their games and the last four spots would be awarded to the four teams that had the most points by the end of the open qualifier round.NRG Esports makes their first appearance in the top four of these open qualifiers, facing off against Fnatic, a team looking for redemption for some sloppy games on Day 2. Meanwhile, NRG were likely looking to prove that the roster swap they made during OGN APEX was worth making, as that roster swap was a big reason as to why they were knocked out. However, finding team synergy even a month after the roster change seemed to yield disappointing results as they were swept 0-2 by Fnatic in almost record time.Meeting Fnatic in the finals were Immortals,, a team that wiped the floor with Luminosity for their spot in the finals.dddddddddddd Fnatic exhibited solid teamwork, but their their fate was sealed by Brady Agilities Girardi, the most standout player in their matches against Luminosity. In many of the maps played, Agilities played both D.Va and Roadhog and both heroes allowed him to secure victory by taking out key members with excellent flanks and stellar positioning to get off multi-kill Self-Destructs, while also hooking in the DPS players with surgical precision on Roadhog.With Immortals securing their spot in the round of eight, the last four spots are awarded to the four teams with the highest point values for their scores over the last four days. These four teams advancing are Fnatic, Luminosity, Kungarna and Team Liquid. They will join Kingdom eSports, Cloud9, compLexity Gaming and Immortals in the Group Play Phase 1 on Jan. 3 for a round robin. By the end, two of these teams will be culled. ' ' '
