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

[Spark]

Lyon turned it a fair bit from his first over. SOK doesn't really turn them at all anyway. Not much for the quicks though.

So slow though. Look how Bravo was able to just camp on the back foot to everything.

 

[Loose Cannon]

I've been enjoying these Press Room discussions on ABC through the series.

Mike Coward was on today. **** I wish he'd just disappear. What a ****.

 

[TheJediBrah]

The windies have had a decent couple of days after a horrendous start. One wonders wether the aussies not giving them a decent chance to acclamatise, might be why they were so bad in the beginning

*facepalm*

happens every tour . . .

 

[Burgey]

Mike Coward is a turd. Did he spend the discussion with his nose up the bcci and tendulkar's arse? Such a sycophant to a nation which has given cricket nothing but rampant match fixing.

 

[TheJediBrah]

The last two. Australia is awful away from home ATM because the batting isn't what it was, which is understandable because from about 93 until 08 they had a ridiculously strong line up.

this is undoubtedly true, especially in a couple places in particular. But just to put things in perspective:

Away records for the last five years

Australia won 10 lost 14
NZ 7 15
England 6 13
India 4 16
SA 7 4

Australia don't look so bad all of a sudden in comparison, especially when you take into account that a higher proportion of Aus overseas tests are against the better home-sides (eg. Ind, Eng) and never Bang or Zim

After the shambles that was their performance in the first test, at least we can say the West Indies have improved test-by-test (even if they have been moving from the very bottom). The platform they've built here with Brathwaite and Bravo could be a solid foundation to their best performance of the series.

 

[Gnske]

Patto's haircut really is dire

Pity Bravo has to go instead of Badweight

 

[TheJediBrah]

ah Bravo.

Ed Cowan never would have played that silly shot

They'll be all out 193 here.

God that was soft by Bravo. So disappointing after doing all the hard work.

Is it that horrible 90s boy band undercut redux that's doing the rounds ATM? Nearly as bad as the "mullet of the new millennium", aka the hipster look.

No, he just spent the time complaining about reality passing him by and shaking his fist at the youth.

 

[Tangles]

I'll just leave this here...

So the muppets are hired and encouraged by other muppets. But seriously which hallucinogenic was taken before those comments?

Its like he told the Barber to give him the reverse-Patrick Stewart cut really, the business on top leaking everywhere.

 

[Tangles]

Double figures might be an achievement for Samuels here.

Tried to outdo Ambrose but failed.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez Lyon is bowling well here. The difference in this bloke now he's established as the number one spinner is insane. Be interested to hear if McNamara has noticed anything different technically in his bowling. One thing to me is he seems to be pivoting more and bowling slightly taller than he was before. Might just be the angle I'm watching from though.

 

[Gnske]

Not nearly enough men around the bat for Samuels

 

[Tangles]

This whole team really should look for singles more than they do.

 

[Spark]

Marlon.

 

[Gnske]

Hahahahaha

What the **** was that, worst innings i've seen in awhile
