The Indian assistant coach of the men's cricket team, Ryan ten Douchate, feels that declaring to follow-on on day 3 of the second Test match against the West Indies can be a bit tricky, given that the pitch is unlikely to favor the Indian spinners. Notably, West Indies was all out for 248 after batting in the first innings. And India, thereafter chose to follow on. Before Day 3 stumps. West Indies was two down, scoring 173. Both the batters John Campbell (87 off 145) and Shai Hope (66 off 103) have completed their half centuries. Coming to the press-conference after the day's play, Douchate said that the pitch will be deteriorating on Day 4. And the spinners will find it tough to work on it. "We thought the wicket was going to keep deteriorating and by close of play it would be at its worst. It just seems to have slowed down even more. It’s quite challenging to get any pace up," Ten Doeschate was quoted as saying at the end of the day’s play." The Indian spin all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who picked 3 wickets in the first innings, had earlier said that the shoulder will come in use. And Douchate echoes the same feeling. However, it will have a dual effect. More the speed, the lesser the turn is what the Dutchman is suspecting. Trying to give the reference to the fact, he recalled Washington's spell where he was getting the turn with a lower speed. He said, "Like I said, you have to really fire the ball in. Of course, when you fire the ball in, it’s got less chance of spinning. So, we have had a tricky afternoon." Douchate further added, "Obviously, monitoring speed is probably the one thing you can play with. You saw every time Washy (Washington) bowled a little bit slower, you got a little bit more turn. Obviously, the batter has a bit more time. So, it’s striking the batter and using the changes in pace to get a mistake out of the batter." Further explaining the possibilities for India, Doucette praised Campbell for his patient innings. He said, "It’s just got to be super patient. Obviously, Campbell has swept very well. So, it’s another thing tactically we can look at. Sometimes we expect a lot from our bowlers and sometimes the wickets are a bit unresponsive."
