***Official*** West Indies in Australia

[Mister Wright]

Well... he averages 12 overs a game in FC cricket, which is 6 an innings... pretty much part-timer fare. I don't think you could class him as an all-rounder in the longer form, though he is in List-A/ODI cricket.

Considering how many matches he has played and hasn't always played as an 'all-rounder' that's not surprising. As he has developed the bowling side of his game over the last 4 or 5 years he has bowled more often. He has been first change in both of Qld's Pura Cup games this season for at least one innings. He is also bowling 6-10 overs a game in their ING games and also in ODIs. He is definitely an allrounder now, a batting allrounder.

Reminds me of MacGills comments everytime it's touch and go whether or not he'll be selected. He always says something like "I know I'll make the difference" or "the selectors should be playing 2 spinners". I always think of the quick he is vying for a spot with probably thinking "Shut the f**k up Stuart and let the selectors make their own mind up"

If I was the other guy I'd be goading Stuie into saying more because it doesn't seem to be working and, in fact, may well be working against him.

He should have been dropped for his comments on 'no-one deserves this more than me'. Confidence is one thing, being an idiot is another.

Over-confidence isn't great but in reality, who deserves to make his debut more in Aussie cricket right now? It's not a statement without merit.

Warne getting tonked about here. Should give around the wicket a try maybe he has had lots of succes v left handers that way

Even still, it is a silly thing to say. Not only are you making yourself look like a turd, but you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself, just think if he gets a golden pair, he's given the papers plenty of amunition for headlines, like 'Hodge's fairytail debut - The story of the Golden Duck.'

Time since last boundary - 2mins. 3 balls.

Last time I felt like wrapping a bat around his head 2.1 seconds :P

Thank god for Aunty

 

[ClownSymonds]

Oh dear. Clown had Gayle, but it was JUST a no ball. Sad.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

WI fight back well and truely over

 

[age_master]

Go Macgilla

WI fight back? What are you talking about?

Anyway, Gayle made to look stupid against a McGrath slower ball. Probably not a good decision, but he's gone. Looks like another Australian run through a poor batting lineup.

 

[Mister Wright]

That was a bad decision. IMO he was hit outside leg stump.

I don't know about that, but it looked to be missing leg, anyway.

 

[Slats4ever]

I don't know about being hit outside leg. but it was definately going down leg

 

[ClownSymonds]

Amazing - 28 singles by the Windies in something like 55 overs. That on a good batting pitch after electing to bat, and facing 10 overs from Clown, too.

 

[Blaze]

What a crap match. Sport is so much more appealing when the game resembles something of a contest.

 

[Right arm fast]

first ball!!!!!!

 

[SquidAU]

BIG inside edge. Surprised the ump didn't give him LBW...

Oh, thats right, it's not Bucknor!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

MacGill dominating the West Indies here.

If it's not MacGill, it's Lee, McGrath, Warne.....

What a let down of a contest after last night.....

 

[ClownSymonds]

Haha, I love it. Fortress Australia is still absolutely impenetrable. Ramdin's wicket was enjoyable. He was left layed out on the ground contemplating his embarassment.
