All the good work from McKenzie undone with a mental swipe across the line at a straight one.

Ffs it was a really hard catch but would have been nice if he could have just left it

Green has been all over Athanaze in this spell. Really unlucky.

Good from Junior on comms. Really obvious on the replay that Smith was standing way too close to first slip

Athanaze looks like a classy operator but he needs to work on his patience because he's playing at way too many good length balls outside off.

It would've been tough for Usman, but I think if Smith didn't go for it he would've hade a good shot of catching it.
Pretty balanced session. Probably a slight edge to the WIndies maybe? Australia mostly bowled pretty well but it's a flat deck and West Indies had a bit of luck. Needed to bowl a bit better with the new ball but it wouldn't have mattered if Smith had hung on.

At least 3. Plenty of misfields too. I think the conditions aren't helping but the basics which Australia typically do so well just aren't seen here.
With the way he's batted I'm worried that Smith might be legit done. Not saying drop him, but if he fails in New Zealand he absolutely has to go down the order at least.

Agree, esp as WI scored at a fairly decent clip.
In hindsight, Oz needed to get 2 wickets, probably 3, in that night session last night.

We would have had two last night if Smith didn't drop kraigg. Issue was more starc wasting the newish ball this morning, IMO. All game it's been piss easy to bat once the ball gets soft, feeding the windies a bunch of half volleys to drive early on was terrible.

Green is the best gully fielder in the world, and probably up there with the best ever. I don’t think I’ve seen him drop more than 2-3 catches in his career so far, and considering he pulls off stunners every other innings it’s a pretty good rate.

He’s played 25 tests. How many does the best fielder in a given position have to drop in that short a span for the hype to die down a bit?
