He's probably been the most consistent of the WI pacemen, actually.

Hmmm, you are right Adharcric.
I went back and had a look at his figures and he is taking wickets at a regular basis. His avg. (30+ I think) is a bit high, but that would go for all the WI bowlers considering the Australian batting in the first 2 tests. In that case, Marshall, Ambrose, Holding, Garner it is!

I think that would make a WI victory more likely, so I'm not complaining!

Whatever it takes!!!
I put in a vote for big Joel too.Great all-around bowling from the Windies, but poor Lillee, what an effort from the champion bowler. Key innings was another crucial partnership between Sobers and Lara which allowed the bowlers a comfortable margin to bowl the Aussies out. Also, kudos to Slifer and Adharcric for pushing for Garners inclusion, really paid off in the second innings.
Edit/ Thanks again for running this Adharcric. I am really enjoying this!

LOL, Warney's injured every time he gets walloped... Another thing that never changes.

On a lively pitch, Hayden would get totally owned by the WI quick men.

Hayden for Simpson is the only option with this tour squad.

On a sunny morning at the Kensington Oval, the captains are out in the middle. The Aussies will look to attack the opposition and clinch the series here. Here we go ...
Bradman has won the toss and chosen to bat!
For the Aussies: Hayden, Warne out. Simpson, Davidson in. The home side has dropped Roberts for an extra batsman in Weekes.

In English conditions, I'd back England. In Asia, I'd back India. Elsewhere, its a close call between Australia and the West Indies.

Oh well, well done to the Aussies, and to Punter and DG.
The WI batting has really been a sore point, no-one apart from Hunte, and Lara, and Sobers have really put their hands up - and it is costing their side dear.
I believe WI won 3 - 1 in Aus? Therefore WI need to win the next one, to take the contest overall...
