Simulating a match. Thirty seconds. Entering a new player. Two minutes. Formatting the results to be directly visible in my post rather than as an attachment. One hour. People getting so anxious about simulated tests between fantasy all-time sides. Priceless.

Brilliant stuff by Bradman Lara and Sobers in the first innings.
Unfortunatly for the Windies Lillee and Mcgrath ripped the middle out of their top order in the second innings and from then on there was no way back.

Booyah. Awesome stuff from the Aussies there - great stuff from the bowlers in the second innings after the Don got us going.

5-0 still looking good.

No changes going forward.

How many overs were left in the day adharcric? Can't do a simple thing like draw the match. What kinda crap was that? Both teams pretty even and then a last innings collapse. Man.......

Man, wtf Windies?!

Now faced with a task only Australia under Bradman has done before, that is coming back to win a 5 test series from being 2-0 down (36/37 iirc).

I kind of agree with your selection Adharcric. Headley needs to be dropped, and maybe the batting needs to be shored up with Walcott over Dujon.

However, more important to me, the bowling seems to have lost some of its teeth.
Marshall should be given another go, unless perhaps the WI selectors think of playing 5 bowlers?
Therefore, moving Sobers up to 5, Walcott at 6, and 5 bowlers (2 of whom, ideally, should be able to wield a willow).
Perhaps room for Gibbs or even Hall?

What does everyone think?
