**Official** Australia in West Indies

I assume that post was in jest, Aus are firm favourites IMO.

If Chanderpaul gives you a chance to get him out, you have to take it.

That was disgraceful catching by Katich. He should give himself 80 million uppercuts.

Dire drop from the Kat man, really missing Haydos here.

The pressure can get to anyone, mate. It got to both Kat and Chanders there. Poor drop to be sure but he was feeling for that one.

Again, this match is different to his knocks in England; those, WI were never going to win. Here, the pressure of a win being possible makes it different.

Oh yeah, I agree, terrible effort, but considering that once you get Bravo out (who is still a good player), you can get the rest of the order out for potentially in under 60 runs.

The Windies are still in the drivers seat for as long Chanderpaul is out there. We've given him a chance, that's probably all he needs to think it's his day. I will be remarkably surprised if he doesn't score a century.

You've just seen him get dropped - and I don't think that Chanderpaul 100-odd*, WIndies lose by 70-80 runs is OOTQ.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Well, he's only on 9 ATM, though he is in amazing nick. I don't see why any of your lot shouldn't be able to get him out in all honesty.

Driving seat? You're having a laugh. They are in deep trouble and barely holding on. They have a far, far, better chance than they would if he wasn't out there, yes, but make no mistake, Aus are the one's driving this at this juncture.

 

[sideshowtim]

Bravo gone, top stuff Fraz.

 

[pasag]

Clark! Making a late dash for MOTM.

Agreed.

Lovely captaincy by Ponting. Bravo's balance meant he was struggling on the drive and well bowled by Clark, nice and full.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Good job Bravo. It's not like the fielder was there was any particular reason. It's okay. It wasn't your fault at all. Learning lessons all the time. (y)

 

[Top_Cat]

One thing to know what's required, another to execute it. Clark standing up like I'm sure we all thought he would. Outstanding spell. Surely one of his best.

 

[Nate]

Leeeeeeee.

It's been fun West Indies.

 

[sideshowtim]

Bing gets his man! What a remarkable bowling performance this morning.

 

[pasag]

Yes! Looks like they won't make lunch.

Whoever the Aussie commentator is just said "their gun batsman is on his way"...

Blewett.

Lee around the wicket to Chanders after drawing the edge from over the wicket last over; why?

That answer your question?

 

[Top_Cat]

That answer your question?

Just because it worked, doesn't mean it was the right thing to do!
