Jeebus, a spanking by the Windies. Predictable perhaps with that quartet of bowlers on a WACA wicket, but jeez the Aussies crumpled in the 4th innings. Chappell got a pair and Hayden did little to justify the dumping of Morris. Whither the Aussies now one wonders... Can we call up Bobby Simpson to open with Trumper?

Hopefully the Melbourne and Sydney pitches might be more enjoyable for Warne (our one real comparative advantage).
The openers are a concern. I thought Morris was dropped too soon, and I'd be tempted to bring him back to partner Trumper.
Having just annointed Chappell as the clear 2nd behind Bradman in terms of Australian batsmen in the other thread, can we now turn around and dump him? I'd think we'd best give him one more shot at redemption before swinging the axe.

I cant say im surprised at the result in the Perth test given the history between the 2 sides at that ground. That being said i do expect Australia to come roaring back in the next few tests. Would go with the same WI lineup (i dont believe in changing a winning combo) as for the Aussies well definitely for the Sydney test i would bring in an extra spinner and possibly find a spot for one of Border or S Waugh

Don will come good.
Re: Miller. He's been a disappointing with the bat, with 51 runs at 12.75. But he's taken 8 wickets at 20.3 so far - we need the extra fire power, and especially if we want to play O'Reilly at the SCG, we'll need him at the third seamer...

Agreed, he's bowled superbly and I'm sure will score runs when it matters at least once this series.
And the Don is due a couple of big scores now - wouldn't be surprised if he dominated the rest of the Series.
Australia's 4th innings batting is a real worry though, as is the Windies ability to turn around a 1st innings deficit so comfortably.

Must say Im surprised by the lack of centuries by the Don ( although i do expect him to get a few b4 the series is done). One has to remember however, that unlike his actual career the Don is facing an all time/worldclass bowling attack (the likes of which he hasnt ever faced b4). Also the first 2 wickets favored the Wi attack to a great degree (esp Perth). If i were Australia i wood definitely drop one of the pacemen and bring in a Grimmet or an O'reilley.
BTW are we going to have a return series in the Wi?

I'd probably have Gibbs in for the Sydney test ( Im kinda wary of changing a winning combo). Would definitely make room for the great Steven Waugh (given his experience against the WI's attacks). I would replace Lindwall with O'reiley. Not sure if i wood do it for the MCG test but definitely at Sydney. An Attack of Miller, Mcgrath, lillee, warne and O'reilley on a turning Sydney track may be too much for the WI.
