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

[Spikey]

A lot of people in media seem extremely keen on the Cowan/Warner partnership regardless of what actually happens because they compliment each other's games, and while true it amounts to nowt if they're not both actually scoring runs. While Cowan doesn't deserve to be dropped yet, you can't just keep picking him forevermore based on how his partnership with Warner warms your heart and balances your Chi.

yeah the over-whelming love for the whole odd coupletook me by surprise.


of course, if watson does seal his spot at 3 they'll give cowan more time. but they won't waste time moving watson back to opening if he doesn't shine and cowan doesn't really either.

this is all ponting's fault ftr

I think if we got rid of sutherland the run outs would stop

Got on at $12.

Good betting. How much and when?

$40, right after Harris edged that first boundary of his. I was thinking about betting a bit earlier but cbf ringing in, but the price was dropping like a stone so I thought I better hurry up if I was going to. I've since laid off.

EDIT: Right after Australia passed the follow on; better way to put it.

I have no love for Ed. To me, he's always screamed 'journeyman'. Much in the same vein as Forest. That doesn't mean they won't be able to chisel out serviceable performances, but I question their ability to survive or value-add longterm.

So learned people, what's the story today?
What's chaseable? I'm thinking the Aussies really wouldn't want to chase more than say 200, with 2 sessions to go...thoughts?
In a strange way it may even be the Windies best chance of a win, what with our renowned 4th innings collapse bound to happen at some stage.

With the scoring rate as it is, they'd only manage 60 per session, however with Sammy coming in we can pretty safely assume a jump at some point. I think 200 would be the goal for the Australians - take 5/90 in the first session and chase it down.

I highly doubt we would be bowled out in 2 sessions, regardless of how bad a collapse we may suffer. One of Clarke and Hussey can stick it out, and Siddle, Harris and Lyon seem to be a hard-to-dislodge tail.

Big first session. Could be another enthralling ending to a previously-dead match.

I hope we need 200 in a session, go for it, and get it

that'd be ****in gun, warner bettering his WACA ton

 

[Spikey]

Sammy takes 7 and it ends a tie

 

[Spikey]

only one of those things will happen

 

[uvelocity]

other than saying when WI bats its flat but after it's up and down, I love listening to a rhino interview

 

[uvelocity]
