    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    You can only bowl to the opposition you're given - but he consistently put it in the right places, and looked to have some real direction today. Against a better team his stats might not have looked as good, but it would still be regarded as a fantastic spell of aggressive fast bowling. Didn't...

    I've got the volume down - what did he say? I guess on a superficial level you could say that they both have what have been judged to be "overly" laid-back attitudes and a very high level of potential not quite fulfilled....

    Maybe seeing Bracken and Lee bowl such good spells here will help his confidence. Or maybe not. :) Hopefully Lee can keep this up through the series, 'cause I do think that he's bowled intelligently today. He's definitely capable of it.

    I'm really enjoying it too. I hope he can nail down the third pacer spot.

    Very nice ball from Bracken to knock over Edwards. Shocker to get first up for a tailender.

    Well, I guess Ponting was far less likely to run out of time than Ganguly was (unless rain played a significant part), but IMO, this has become something of a complex for the Australians - both in terms of enforcing the follow-on, and in terms of setting 500+ totals. Vaughan shows far more...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    LOL, that's actually along the lines of what I was thinking. You always tend to look a little more friendly and less arrogant when you're being beaten. This is not a direct criticism of the Aussies in particular, just a general statement.

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Well, my bloody hard-drive got fried, and I haven't been around for a couple of days. A few observations: a) Ponting sometimes captains like he has a team of losers. He operates like he has no faith in his bowlers to knock over a a team cheaply that they just dismissed 200 runs behind, and...

    Boycott's bombshell

    I don't think I'll call England the best side in the world ever. I just don't think I'll have to - if things should go pear-shaped, there will always be some straw to clutch.

    And it'll be Deano. :p

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Ha, I did! And I'm always thinking I'm unlucky... You mean there've been others besides the odd casual mention?

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Oh for chrissakes, a story on Bill Lawry's pigeons. I always knew this day would come. Incidentally, did anybody notice Tony Greig's announcement yesterday, that they wouldn't be hawking memorabilia products during the Channel Nine coverage anymore? He made a mumbling reference to the store...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Given how things are going, it's not that surprising, although I wonder how much Craddock actually knows? The whole 80%/20% thing seems deliberately vague, as if he pulled it out of thin air. If it had been 75%/25%, you might surmise that it meant that one of the selectors was against dropping...

    I think he might have messed up a stumping chance off Warne quite late in the day.

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    I think Clarke has shown he has the talent and ability to stamp himself on a match at international level. And he's amazing to watch in full flight. His flaws are noted, but I still think they're mainly psychological, and as he's quite young, I think he can overcome them. Some players show...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    LOL, were you at the game today, mate? I had a feeling that when we saw you you'd be bagging Clarke. I have to say though that at this stage, it's hard not to acknowledge the fact that there are some problems. If he doesn't do something impressive this series, it'll be interesting to see just...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Yeah, I can't see it either. From the scoreboard, it's looking like either Warne's doing really well or the WI bowlers are letting this slip. If Australia can somehow get to 400 or above, the West Indians would have to be pretty disappointed. 7/340 at stumps.

    Boycott's bombshell

    I think he meant which player - I'd assumed he was talking about Mahendra Dhoni.
