How good is this? Frothing here.

Why did Gayle opening up the bowling? Anyone?

Benn coming on very early too ..hmm

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Why did Gayle opening up the bowling? Anyone?

Because there's more for spinners than seamers, from the early looks of it.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That's what happens when you take an offstump guard.

 

[Laurrz]

Watto gone

1/75

not a bad time for Ponting to come out....

Bravo once again gets a breakthrough

 

[duffer]

Woah, just tuned in and a nice crowd I see. Cricket in the Windies is so awesome when there's a decent crowd.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Yesss Puddle (fantastic nickname, btw)!

Great start to his career!

 

[pasag]

Beautiful stuff from Marsh, 50 on debut.

What's the news on Marshall? Looks like potentially a series ending injury.

 

[Laurrz]

Taylor to Ponting, dangerous for Punter here.... he will target the stumps

 

[duffer]

JT y'all. Nice call by Laurrz there.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That's a really really really loose shot. Shame Ponting. Shame.

 

[Laurrz]

*sigh

Ponting looked so edgy

slower ball doing the trick on this wicket hmm

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Surely Darren Sammy has to bowl at some point. No point in picking him otherwise.

Michael Clarke looked pretty poor in his stay too. This pitch looks a tricky one, due to lack of pace.

 

[Laurrz]

calm down boys far out... its no pitch to blast runs on..

 

[ret]

Marsh going strongly on debut .... continuing the good work from IPL

 

[roseboy64]

Good work to rein them in.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

And Marsh goes.

Jinxed by ret IMO. Only took about 4 overs...

 

[Laurrz]

bit loose there

will be happy with anything over 200 though
