pretty obvious that the wicket firmly pushed the momentum in Aus' favour but hey whatever

How does 291/5 translate into "Harris wicket puts Australia on top"

Cricinfo are seriously clueless

This match looks headed towards draw territory with the bad weather. Depends how Australia bat.

Hard to know what a good score is on this. I'd say sub 350 would be a good return for Oz but the Windies' attack looks marginally less merde than the Indian one the tourists have been feasting on of late.

West Indies make 400 here and see how the Aussies cope with the bat when the other side has got runs on the board. May have been slow yesterday but it put the foundations in place for a good score. Aussies going back to the ashes attack and not picking Pattinson was a huge error.

nah disagree. WI much better than India, even with Rampull out. Can of course crumble, given Sammy's probably the only consistent one of the lot, and there's no-one near the level of Khan, but Bish00, Edwards and Roach are a far bit better than Ashw1n, Yadiv and whoever.

Yadav is better than Roach IMO.

that's what he said ****...

I'm telling you here bois, bish00 will take 5. Going to be hellish out of those f00tmarks.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not a lot in it to be honest, both look like they have the great/crap tendency with little inbetween.

 

[benchmark00]

Will be interesting to see if Steve and Mark's brother can stick around with Chanders here.

Was about to post this myself. Very strange.

Glad to see Deonarine back in the side, still don't think I rate him though.

Nathan Bracken is so dumb.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yea you'd rather be in West Indies' position, but their lower order is non-existent so if they make 400 from here I think you'd be happy from their perspective.

Really looking forward to seeing what happens when West Indies bowl.

 

[benchmark00]

Not sure if Bracken knows the difference between a hurricane and cyclone ftr.

Faz is such a gun. Sh00ts from the hip.

 

[Burgey]

Sobers still bossin' it

 

[NasserFan207]

Would like Shiv to be a bit more proactive now

Ha, quite. Full respect, "It was an unmitigated, unqualified disaster"

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not sure the wide and harmless/leg side half-volley attack plan is the MO for this pitch. Get the message to Sids and Hilf pronto.

 

[NasserFan207]

Baugh and his stupid dismissals.

Ah well, Sammy time.
