    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Awkward drop there from Whoopi - would have been a very big wicket, too. He got there comfortably in the end, in spite of Warne getting in the way a bit - it just fell straight out of his hands on the way down.

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Fidel finally nails Watson. It really seemed like he gave himself a big chance against him, looking at this little spell. Quite fiery.

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Yeah, Edwards looked really pumped the previous over, and was absolutely charging in. Unfortunately for him it ended up being fairly expensive, but there were some good deliveries in there, and he trapped Watson close to in front. Gets a fair bit of skid off the pitch, too.

    Boycott's bombshell

    Drivel. Sri Lanka were the number 2 ODI outfit up to a very short time ago - it seems like he's gotten himself mixed up between test cricket and one-dayers. At least he didn't mention his dear, departed mother. While he's entertaining (so is Bill Lawry, in his own special way), I don't...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    So what do people think the West Indians will be chasing in their first innings? With Churchy gone, they'd have to be an excellent chance to knock over Australia for under 350 now.

    Very good call from Rudi there on Gilchrist's LBW dismissal. From Gilly's reaction, I wonder if he thought he'd been given out caught behind...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Yeah, I know, but it's 4/215 now, and while 2/364 back then made it obviously a poor call, 5 or 6 for 364 would still have been a very poor result when you've sent the opposition in. I don't think things have looked that tough out there, really. Collymore just bowled an excellent spell. Apart...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Good to see that cricinfo have got their obligatory "[insert player here] ROCKS [insert country here]" headline running. 8-) Pretty fair ton to Ponting here, and Gilly's looking extremely threatening. Even though the West Indians had Australia 4/111, I still would rather have seen the West...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Healy and Chappell are having a conversation about the West Indians' over-rate - which is pretty egregiously slow, at 12 overs behind what it should be. And between overs, they are literally, ambling around. Healy seems convinced that, unless there's a dramatic improvement over the course of...

    What is the most difficult sport to play at a high standard?

    My knees are wobbling... Actually though, many guys go through all this on a friday night at pubs or clubs on a regular basis, when looking for a companion for the night. :)

    Very true - it has indeed been interesting to see how they've performed so far though. :)

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Haha, that was just me demonstrating some good old Aussie hubris. :p Great spell from Colleymore at the moment. Edwards doesn't look half as dangerous, but he's not bowling too poorly either, although he needs to make the batsmen play more. Suddenly I'm paying a lot more attention...

    Whoa, Katich gone too - now this match is starting to look interesting...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    The funny thing was that nobody was interested in saying "yeah he could" or "I doubt it", which is a measure of just how often Hayden can look safe and very promising before getting out in the 30's. As I write this, Collymore has just claimed Clarke caught behind - one of the most interesting...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Holy crap, Shiv dropped that one - I thought it fell short. Had Hayden hook, line and sinker, too. If you're gonna set a trap, you have to make sure you finish the job when the opportunity comes.

    What a scratchy first test innings from Hussey - one best forgotten ASAP...

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia

    Looked like he was a bit non-plussed at Richie's rambling there. I think Richie's hanging on too long personally - he should have retired after the English season.

    India Plays hard Ball with South Africa,,,

    LOL. And the orientation of this thread is all wrong. Indian authorities aren't dictating who can or can't enter the country. The South Africans are asking for assurances that Boje and Gibbs won't be arrested or questioned, and the Indian police won't do so. So the South Africans decide they...

    Who is the world's best Test bowler ever?

    Excellent points - you've convinced me completely on the issue of home vs away performances (I would still hold that there's some value in comparisons factoring in favourable/unfavourable conditions when it comes to cricketers who are hard to separate in terms of class/ability, as well as...

    People have a right to ask a cricket question

    Actually, you just touched on something here, mate. One of the things that used to really annoy me here was how, if you'd started a thread (or were participating in it) that was interesting, all it took was for some tool (and in many cases, a particular tool) to come post in it with their...
