When do the Windies next play a series against a neutral country, so I can post in that thread about how they'll be **** against Australia?
Like i said lets stay on topic please as i'm not in the mood to get banned of trivial things like this!! 8-) ,

And Aus lose another wicket!!.. LOL my word these batting orders are pure comedy today!!.. :laugh: .

Ponting was pushed down to 4 because Shaun Marsh did something at 3 that Ricky Ponting hadn't done in a long time
Yeah sure mate..... but when Ponting was Marsh' age he was already a world beater and when he was batting at 3 if nothing else he certainly made sure that the middle order didn't get exposed too early.

EDIT: Btw Ponting and Clarke's demotion in the batting order has everything to do with their inability to deal with the new cherry in recent times and had Marsh scored that century or not the slide down the order was more or less inevitable.

No if Marsh had made a pair in his debut match he would have been dropped and Usman would have stayed at 6.
So how do you explain Uzi batting at 3 in South Africa....?

Edit: Cowan' failure is disappointing because he comes across as a nice hardworking bloke, but its somewhat on the expected lines.

Marsh being injured, perhaps?

Cowan would have scored two 200s by now if Khan wasn't playing. Like Cook. Don't see any other Indian bowler troubling him at all.

How do you explain Usman batting at 6 in the first test at SL? When Marsh got injured they decided to do a straight swap ala Ponting-Usman at the SCG & Ponting-Marsh in SL. Marsh got a ton. The 3 spot was his. If Marsh had failed it would have been a straight swap again, with Ponting at 3 and Marsh out
