**Official** Australia in West Indies

OMG this game is so in the balance. West Indies require another 290 runs with 7 wickets remaining and there is all of tomorrow to bat. And with Chanderpaul at the crease, who knows what will happen.............

I think Bravo might try to free up the arms and have a go here. Lofted Casson for six and scored a positive single next ball, carn Australia!

Not in the balance at all IMO. Only Ramdin to come for West Indies, and he's been a walking wicket. Australia still on top.

i agree, REAL REAL poor declaration.. when i heard they were chasing 470..i thought wow windies bowled really well to do that

farken hell should've declared with a lead of 520... for once get chanders out early!
altho this pitch is flat as a tack now

Nah, if Marshall was still there maybe, but if Chatergoon isn't batting, WI are like 5 out all out.

RR is at 4 :blink:

really need an extra close in fielder when Casson bowls... doesnt seem like thers any pressure at all

Haha yeah its crazy. Still think if Aussies nab one of these its game over, but I hope I'm wrong.

I can't believe, with all the money at the disposal of Australian cricket, that our fielding coach does not travel full-time with the team. Apparently, he only arrived over there yesterday...and it shows. I can't recall a series where we have fielded so poorly and grassed so many catches.

I know we had bad slip catching last series against India.

That Bravo decision looked terrible live. Some may say he's due some luck, but at the end of the day, it may just be another bad decision.

Bravo needs to pack away the pull shot. And you get the impression Brett Lee doesn't mind these noballs. Because he's definitely unsettled Bravo.

That's more like it. Nice solid defensive shot. Time and scoring rate are not the issues. Just bat, Bravo.

And as I type this he plays another expansive drive. Not liking this...

flat track, Chanderpaul freaking still there, and Bravo is definitely a good batsman..these two bat well together

maybe in Aussies favour a bit with C'Goon missing, but cancelled out because the pitch is hell flat... Lee is getting burnt out :(

I disagree mate.

We're still easily a 90% chance of victory.

If there were Chanderpauls batting at each end though....

The guy has been simply amazing this series.

Anyway, surely this will be Johnson's last Test match for a while.
