***Official*** Australia in the West Indies 2015

[Dan]

Doesn't outweigh the extra batting practice, though.

Eh, they'll live. I'm a little uneasy about Test match cricket becoming 'batting practice' but I certainly take your point.

I don't really think it does, but obviously a lot of people do care about that. Plus 8 overs was perfect for the short spells Clarke's loves.

Yeah, whether or not it's true, it's the view Clarke has and I can see a logic to it. Right or wrong, there's a logic outside of "let's be funky and declare early". And certainly not the 'disrespect' thing floated by LT earlier.

the **** has already taken more five wicket hauls for Australia than he did in 7 seasons at NSW

(also me saying 7 seasons is me playing loose with the facts)

Does this mean we'll pick Tim Paine next and he'll start making ton after ton after ton?

 

[Spark]

Good old out twice.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Sweet ball

 

[Gob]

Awesome

 

[Dan]

Does anybody actually think the West Indies have any realistic chance of chasing down 390 in the fourth innings, on this deck, against this bowling attack?

If they do it, good on Jason Holder.

 

[Tangles]

Nice from Starc. This bowling is just a level above what these young batsman are used to or can handle.

 

[Gob]

Nice job mitchell

 

[Tangles]

Is there a lack of left arm fast in domestic cricket? Some of these blokes seem as lost by the angle as much as the late movement.

Pace more than anything I suspect.

 

[Spikey]

MJ refusing to let Starc take another wicket

 

[Tangles]

Dowrich beaten for pace and foot movement. The 2 openers last night were both chasing wide ones.

 

[Antihippy]

Darren Bravo has been seriously whiffing it the entire series.

 

[Swingpanzee]

bummer bravo gone after a great catch by Darsh. Sad to see Darren not do well, he used to look like a great talent but he simply doesn't run too many singles/doubles at is terribly out of form

 

[3703]

That was a terrific delivery from Hazlewood too.

His bowling average is 19.34 now.

 

[Tangles]

Holder really needs to come in next.

 

[Gob]

Should have declared earlier.

 

[Daemon]

h4ze is just being a philander atm

 

[Tangles]

Should have declared earlier.

Why? Just to win faster which is good because?

 

[Swingpanzee]

oh dear Blackwood goes for a duck too.

Haze WAG

 

[Spark]

Somewhat unfair atm
