***Official*** Australia in the West Indies 2015

Seriously though, Haze is so good at being McGrath that I'm half-expecting him to step on a cricket ball during the ashes.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Hazlewood is definitely the best McGrath since Stuart Clark.

 

[Tangles]

Wrong thread I know but I can't see England preparing bowling pitches. Haze is showing here that he will still just hammer line and length anyway.

 

[Beamer]

Oh dear. Top bowling here I must say, a difficult start to the post shiv era! Having said that the ball is already keeping low, spinning and the outfield has cost us a good 20/30 runs already. I'll scale back my ambitions and just hope we can somehow scramble 225/250. I reckon that might give us an outside chance of being competitive given the conditions.

Hazelwood is so good, this is metronomic.

 

[Tangles]

Good nut the one that went over Holders off stump.

 

[Spark]

Thought for sure it must have bowled him.

Anything over 180 might be a bonus. A lack of runs will get Warner going. He loves to bat with no scoreboard pressure.

definitely going to watch one of these series in the carribean one year. what a place to get tanked, might take riggins with me

 

[Top_Cat]

Really feeling like the Aussies are going to struggle only slightly less than the WI bats on this deck.

 

[Gob]

Matter of time before we see a dragon

 

[Antihippy]

Really though, watson instead of lyon?

 

[Spark]

Oh dear that's a bad sign

edit: okay just horribly played

 

[Beamer]

The ball is keeping low, so get forward!! It's not rocket science. Poor stuff from the captain.

This really is a horrible pitch for the first day. Looking at that replay the ball definitely kept very low, you'd expect that on the 4th day not half way through the first. I think we might bowl quite well on this pitch too but 121/7 is not good enough no matter how we bowl.

 

[Daemon]

Starc still doesn't look like a Test bowler imo

 

[Gob]

What am I not good at?

 

[Tangles]

This the same standard of pitch they produce for FC?

 

[Beamer]

This the same standard of pitch they produce for FC?

Yep. Disgraceful stuff, how are our young batsmen meant to learn when they play on surfaces like this? It needs sorting ASAP.

 

[Spark]

Going around the wicket to the RHers has worked a dream thus far.

 

[Gob]

much better from starc

 

[Zinzan]

Dear oh dear, that scorecard for the Windies.
