Its a conspiracy by the aussies to make him look good and get him in the Test side and make their job getting 20 wickets that much easierAmazing. Baugh 103*. Literally done NOTHING for Jamaica for the last couple of seasons, and then suddenly he remembers how to bat when the Aussies are about.
283-8. Wallace on 21.
Because Sarwan just won a Man of the Series against Sri Lanka batting there, scoring 80, 72, 57, 102. He's scored 9 of his 10 centuries at three and 17 of his 29 half-centuries. A bit ironically, the only century that he has not scored at three is his only one against Australia. That was in the 418 run chase.Maybe I'm a bit out of the loop on WI batting but why would Chanders not bat at 3?
DWTA.Good to see MacGill in the wickets.
Who gives a toss about his age, when it comes to Australian selection you give your best player the spot in the team, just because a player is 50 or 60 shouldn't change that. Not the old man's fault the younger spin bowlers can't bowl.DWTA.
Never liked MacGill, would have liked to see a young aussie get given the chance. How many years does MacGill have left in him do you reckon? 1/2?
Haha. Tait was 'retired' when the team was picked.Reckon Australia would be better off with Tait TBH. Yet if a spinning pitch is there, against a team like the WI you'd expect the tour would be perfect to blood a few younger guys. Concerning the age factor I just don't like MacGill, if it was an older guy I liked I'd feel the same as you mostly (besides the point that this tour of WI could be perfect for delevoping younger blokes).
Wouldn't be out of the question for MacGill to get 'injured' and Tait to be flown in as 'backup' would it?Haha. Tait was 'retired' when the team was picked.
Wouldn't be too concerned about the bowling figures - Johnson, MacGill and Clark haven't bowled competitively in months and th emost Lee's done is a two over spell in the IPL.scoreboard is up

both teams going at a good rate
Johnson very expensive for his two wickets
Lee quite expensive too...even Clark by his standards was a bit expensive
Katich 13 overs 2/51...... probably taking turn and not much for the quicks... a sign for the pitches that will be played on in the tests perhaps
so Katich will definitely play now... with him being an option with the ball..and his batting style suited to these sort of pitches
