The rain played a spoilsport in the final session of Day 3. Only 46 overs could be bowled before the umpires called it a day at the Sabina Park owing to bad light, later in the day.
Going by the weather predictions, we are set to lose more overs in the remaining two days. A tropical storm system is forming over the Caribbean sea, named Earl, which is expected to be nasty.
“We did not have any discussion about the rain,” Ajinkya Rahane said. “We can’t control the rain. On the islands, it rains but also clears quickly also. You can’t be thinking about the weather and playing.”
“The important thing was how much of a lead we could get and how quickly we can get it,” he added. “Anyway, there was plenty of time left in the Test match.”
This is the kind of luck West Indies would have been hoping for when India declared their innings. They are reeling pretty badly in the game, after been bowled out on the first day itself.
On the other hand, the Indian team would be wanting clear skies to seal the series in Jamaica only.
“Instead of thinking about the weather, it’s better we focus on what we can control,” Rahane insisted. “That will be better for us. The weather is good sometimes and bad sometimes. We don’t spend too much time discussing that.”
