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

Holy **** that was McGrathesque. The manner of dismissals, the bounce, the bristle, he's so similar it's ridiculous.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Somewhat odd that Roach was ahead of Taylor in the lineup and somewhat odd that Chandrika was ahead of Roach in the lineup.

 

[Tangles]

I think MJ still starts the 1st Ashes test but if he's not back to his best Starc will come in pretty quickly.

 

[Gob]

need to get on the gravey train

 

[nevermind]

Holder, so good. Not just as a cricketer (hes gun). Seems to play with so much passion for his country, really impressive fella

 

[Tangles]

Better start from Roach.

 

[Spark]

well i was giving that

edit: ah swung more than i thought

 

[indiaholic]

Hahahaha

 

[weldone]

Overbowling the laft arm spinner against the lefties imo

 

[Tangles]

They need a wicket quickly.

 

[Tangles]

How many downhill runs does Darsh need to displace Voges? Hopefully the selectors know better.

 

[Top_Cat]

Everyone knows what's coming, right? Darsh scores a soft ton against a moribund WI bowling attack, Rogers' bell stops ringing in time for Lords Cardiff, Voges loses his spot to keep Darsh in the 6 because Anderson hates bowling to lefties. #swampyprivilege

That shot from Warner is such class.

 

[Furball]

He was a total workhorse his entire career before the 13/14 summer, same pace all day. Pretty significant admission from him in terms of where he sees his body being at. It concerned me to hear it. Once you adjust your training and playing loads, you're putting your body through something different, so the result will be different. I worry that ageism claims a lot of players before their time with this sort of thing.

In fairness, he's what, 33, 34?

 

[Tangles]

Thing about MJ throttling back to get through more overs is that exposes Watsons place. He is there to help the bowling load so MJ can go full throttle. If that isn't happening then one or both of their positions become questionable.

 

[Spark]

Ramdin really is an awe-inspiringly stupid captain.

 

[Spark]

Ooh, that's loose. Did all the hard work too...

Still, he'll be better for the hit (which frankly is all this is)

 

[Tangles]

Bye Darsh. Was waiting for the brain fade and you didn't disappoint.

"That was very, very interesting captaincy, Michael. Save your hamstring." Gunner Gould to @MClarke23. Unsure of the context, sadly. #WIvAUS

quality sledge

 

[Tangles]

62 Overs then Holder gets his 9th. Part time offi has more. Oh Ramdin.
