***Official*** West Indies in Australia 2015/16

[TheJediBrah]

Aussie posters,

quick question please.

The draw is 4/1 with English bookies, what am I missing? Is their going to be tons of rain next test or Australia playing blind folded?

Cheers

dunno maybe because all Aus bowlers seem to be getting injured the bookies are playing it a bit safe with the draw

Thanks.

Yeah just seen that. You'd still expect Australia's second string bowlers to beat West Indies and they would only rest one of Haze and Pattinson (even though they should rest neither unless seriously worried about them medically)

If Boland plays, it might just be the most knee-jerk debut in recent times.

So many mediocre Victorians getting Tests in recent years, pretty depressing.

Checked the forecast, there does seem to be rain forecast for the first four days. Only showers but yeah there's likely to be lost play.

Hey, settle down.

Hastings and Quiney are world class

More like world ass.

Victoria have specialized solely in meme players in the last few years and you know it.

Yeah Boland playing Test cricket would be embarassing

 

[Dan]

Yeah, hoping for SoK to add to his collection of Test caps to keep Boland out of it. Love me some SoK too, so will be very happy if they go for the two spinners.

 

[Spikey]

boland would probably do fair ftr

 

[Compton]

Get Hilfenhaus back in for wicket #100

 

[ajdude]

boland actually looks like a character somebody would create on don bradman 14.

 

[Hurricane]

The West Indies should put in their best performance of the tour next match as they will be most acclimatised to Australian conditions.
They should make 350 in one inning.

An everyman.

Screw Boland though; if you want to appeal to the 'anyone can be a Test cricketer' dream, get Trent Lawford in there. Phlegm to agree.

 

[Midwinter]

If you want someone to bowl line and length and build pressure so the prima donnas can take the glory at the other end, Boland's your man.

How is Doug the rug looking these days in non t20 cricket?

Pretty good actually in this year's Shield.

 

[fishyguy]

Sadly I think Bangladesh would've put on a better show than this current WI side. It is beyond sad. As a lifelong WI fan it hurts every time.

Or they mentally check out early and fold hard and fast. Or they party the new year in style and have no energy left for cricket. #lowexpectations
