*Official* West Indies In Australia

[Uppercut]

God I hate watching Australia bat on a flat pitch when they're at home.

It's one of those pitches that's only flat when the Aussies are batting. You can just see the West Indian collapse coming.

 

[NZ Guy]

Great counter-attacking batting. This is how you demoralise the opposition.

Haha, what? Plenty of bounce and already some turn on day two.

 

[Johnners]

What was the record for highest team score without a ton again? Haddin to get out on 94/96 trying to bring up the ton in one hit.

 

[Nate]

Roach gets one. Lol @ Australian batsmen.

Jonners?

Indeed.

 

[NZTailender]

lol'n so hard at these starts. Going for highest score without a century record IMO.

 

[Howsie]

What was that about Roach Haddin?

 

[Simon]

Mitch the next to go for 50+, Punter to come back add 27 more and get out.

 

[Athlai]

 

[Burgey]

One more wicket and it should be Dougy time.

Dougy to ton up.

Dougeh.

 

[Ausage]

Nervous for Haddin.

EDIT: ****!!

 

[Xuhaib]

all therse bastards aussies saving their hundreds for Pakistan.

yup.

 

[NUFAN]

Nah Clint McKay will bat ahead of Dougeh, McKay is great with the bat. Dougeh.

EDIT 524 is the highest score without a century.

 

[Burgey]

What just happened to Drew Morphett on ABC? Made some comment (loudly) about someone getting hit, then he was off the air. And it seems no one was hit at all.

Could be an on-air cerebral event?

That was a clip of when Roach hit Ponting yesterday. I'd say someone stuffed up in the studio

Was going to say the other comms handled it very professionally

 

[Johnners]

Ponting clearly didn't want to hold the record

Yeah was thinking the same. There was some bounce and seam movement and now it's starting to turn a bit. I'd say an attack of Edwards, Taylor, Roach, Benn and Bravo would've had some fun. I think some people seem to fall into the trap of calling the wicket 'flat' whenever a team scores some runs. Not sure why, but it seems like some are desperate to call Aussie wickets flat for some reason or another.


Haddin did well to keep the trend going and I'm really looking forward to seeing McKay bowl, have never seen him before.
