***Official*** Australia in the West Indies 2012

Pollard's a bit **** isn't he?

I feel as though I may have come to this conclusion before.

 

[Jacknife]

Surely as soon as you leave your crease you lose that benefit?

The line belongs to the umpire, unless you have something clearly behind the line it's cheerio as far as I'm concerned.

How does that work, you get the benefit imo when it's not clear one way or the other, when it's too close to call, from what I could see it looked like there was maybe the tiniest bit behind the line.

Well that's that, what a abysmal chase that was.

 

[Howe_zat]

It's amazing how people will look at this team and say Sammy is still the problem.

Isn't he primarily a BOWLER first though? and yet again he's gone wicketless, in his place we could have had Shiv or someone else in the middle order to help steady the ship, but instead we've ended up with an unbalanced side and we've paid the price,

Andre Russell and Darren Bravo's dismissals were just so pathetic, i felt Andre should have been given the benefit of the doubt and Darren should NEVER have gone for that stupid run, and what can i say about Baugh? it's just getting embarrassing now!!!.. very bad luck on our part that Ramdin got injured,

All in all we bowled well and Narine was a class act as usual, and so was Roach and Samuels, must say i wasn't that impressed with the Aussies to be honest, but as long as the selectors continue to pick crap sides we're gonna get punished.

I don't think batsmen shojld be given the benefit if they've clearly left their crease. I'd give the batsman the benefit if he'd lost his balance and starts sliding his back foot forward, but not the other way round.

Agreed. He may be unfashionable but he seems to do ok.

I mean they were 3-93 today, then 9-110 or so. Abject. Can't blame him for that really.

 

[Sylvester]

The Wade roller coaster continues, been an up and down journey. Although in his defense he is being moved around a lot.

 

[uvelocity]

surpriseo that wadey batted low again. thought we sorted that out.

 

[Spikey]

so i guess WI's lol batting against spin was worse than Aus' lol batting against spin

 

[Spark]

Just saw the result. Mediocre total yet still a comfortable victory? Colour me surprised.

Pitch was very slow and turned/ seamed a heap tbh.

No excuse for the magnitude of the WI collapse though.

 

[roseboy64]

This is Kingston. In somewhere like Trinidad I'd expect Bishoo to play. Quite like this WI bowling attack, apart from no Rampaul. Nicely balanced.

**** batting though obviously. Won't chase anything over 250.

Seems even 150 is too much a stretch. This wasn't unexpected though.

This at 8:15am.

I gotta go to some cricket in the Windies some time in my life.

 

[Flem274*]

Is Charles a batting prodigy, or was it just a really random selection?

Comfy seats for the punters.

 

[Spikey]

at least they won't rise up when you stand up

 

[Spark]

****ing oath

 

[benchmark00]

Always enjoy the reminder on the SCG big screen that tells you that the seats will flip up when you stand up.

 

[Spikey]

where was the reminder 12 years ago?
