I want West Indies to do well, but if they have someone like Andre Fletcher who cannot prove himself at the relatively low level of West Indian domestic cricket - what hope does he have to succeed against Australia. West Indies need to create academies for players to spend entire winters if they are unwilling to trust domestic statistics enough to give talents more than 5 games before selecting them.

On a more cheerful note, more ODI wickets for Bracken - he may go down as one of the all time great ODI bowlers if he continues such form for just two or three more years.

Full credit to Australia for sticking with it even when things weren't going well and coming back so strongly, but jeez the WI were woeful after such a good start. Bravo and Gayle were both unlucky granted, but this is just a really poor team effort after putting in the hard yards early on.

Haha, check out his sig for a start. If you're not still not satisfied, search his posts for "Bracken".

He's not being sarcastic at all - he's just a huge fan.

In ODI cricket, presuming the last three years have not just been good form, I'd have to agree, despite sensing a slight tone of sarcasm.
Well, the stats have my back. Not that I dare think about the day, but when Bracken's ODI Career ends, it will most likely to have been after a decline of some sort. His record after this decline will be interesting indeed. If he retired today though, well, that's another story. :)

Really looking forward to seeing Marsh and Watson here.

It was interesting how Ponting held Lee and Bracken saved till the end
turned out to work pretty well

Neither Hopes/Watson completed their 10... didnt go near completeing actually

I'm surprised - he's ok i guess

Didn't expect him to have a role in tv..dunno why just didn't..like talk about cricket like this
I quite like him as the Aussie voice on Sky, he's pretty balanced. Stuart Law who we've had sometimes is >>>>>> more annoying.

They didn't even get through ten combined!

Given the fact that he's batting #8, Hopes really should be expected to bowl more than three overs. Richard argued that his recent figures justify his selection as a specialist bowler which is fair enough I suppose, but his usage by the captain does no such thing.

I was quite surprised not to see Hopes bowl more today.

Sad to say but Shaun Marsh looks about as good as his fc average would tend to indicate - not very
