**Official** Australia in West Indies

[Nate]

Gonna say this one is out.

EDIT: Patto > Tiffin.

 

[pasag]

Hmmmmmmmm

Edit: Looks better on replay.

 

[duffer]

That looked straighter than the others I guess.

 

[jammay123]

another gone

 

[Manee]

Ooo. The umpire got one right!

 

[Beleg]

Please, for heavens sake Chanders, farm the strike.

 

[James90]

Lee now taken 5/5. What a gun. Australia now paying $3 for the win, rather than $16 as they were about half an hour ago.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

How was Chanderpaul supposed to farm the strike when Powell was in?
It's fair enough that he would have let all of Bravo, Ramdin, Sammy and Taylor take strike. Because they can all handle the bat to a decent extent.

As for Tiffin, he finally got one right. Had enough practice, certainly. He's batting .250

 

[Nate]

Johnson on. Lame. Get out of my Test side.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The way he faffed at the wicket ball in itself is the mark of a guy who is a bit tentative and unsettled.

Faffed? It was down the legside and he went for the flick and missed it. It was hardly a 'faff'. It happens all the time even when batsmen are well set and in full flow. Not an extraordinary indication. Yes, he was unsettled, but still did not look like he would get out because of it. I agree to disagree though.

I don't think anybody said that?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I don't think anybody said that?

Well yours was an exclamation apparently in reaction to Powell's dismissal. It was a very logical presumption.

Nah, when I wrote it Edwards had already survived the deliveries.

 

[pasag]

Hussey opening, either want a quick score or Katich injured.

Fidel doesn't look great.

 

[oitoitoi]

Not really sure what Australia are doing here. I think because Hussey was struggling a bit to score freely they've sent him in to see off the new ball (or to get in better form). Then Ponting and Co. are going to give it the ole' bally-whoo.

 

[oitoitoi]

What are they doing just scratching around? What's the point in this? Surely AUS don't think they can't win it from here?

 

[pasag]

Yeah RR of 2.65 isn't good enough, bowling hasn't been bad, mind.

 

[pasag]

Hussey gone, didn't think there was anything on that personally.

 

[pasag]

50 at a strike rate of 45 on a flat deck with quick runs on the agenda. Great stuff.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Theoretically better than 40 at a strike rate of 43 though.
