***Official*** West Indies tour of Australia, Jan–Feb 2024

[Spark]

Fox isn’t perfect even at the best of times but having Julian, Lee and Haddin instead of Gilchrist, Hussey and Howard is having a noted effect on the quality of the team.

Brendon Julian is so bad. His call of the Smith wicket was terrible, he seemed to not really know what was going on for five seconds then massively overcompensated.

This is why I think Howard is underrated. An actual professional commentator has a natural grasp of the moment.

Cummins should have come instead of Starc.

 

[Chubb]

This may be a moronic opinion but I predict that Head will ton up and Windies will be five or six down at the close and 20-30 runs behind. Happy if I’m proven wrong.

The last time we had Australia in this position was probably 20 years ago in that series...or even in the 90s

I think 2009 tour you guys did great despite the results.

Seems likely tbh

Cummins should have come instead of Starc.

Why? Starc has been the designated #8 over Cummins for years now

Why? Starc has been the designated #8 over Cummins for years now

Because Starc has been poor with the bat since last 2 years.

Yeah, would be surprised if WI passed their 1st innings score.

Cummins hasn't been better

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

They're gonna double their score now

 

[TheJediBrah]

Even though they're into the tail I don't like that Head is getting a single nearly every time he hits the ball because the field is so spread. It's too easy. These singles add up in a low scoring game

 

[Starfighter]

Really not sure why they're persisting with the quicks around the wicket to Head. It's hardly a secret he's less comfortable to bowling over the wicket. And no third man is dire - there goes another boundary through there.

 

[Spark]

Yeah they've lost the plot a bit here.

 

[TheJediBrah]

It's almost like they're doing the whole waiting for the new ball thing but it's still 15 overs away

 

[Starfighter]

That's just a junk ball. It's like they're wiling him on to his century now.

 

[Starfighter]

Clearly Kraiggggggggg needs to put himself on, having dismissed Head for 99 last series.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Windies definitely dropped off intensity in past 30 minutes; Head/Starc were just milking them and now Head is now in full aggression mode.

 

[Nintendo]

Shame that the windies have lost the plot a bit here. If JDS had kept better they'de be RIGHT in this game.

 

[Silver Silva]

Alzarri Joseph is a disappointing test bowler , he should be much better with his natural abilities
