***Official*** West Indies in Australia

[steds]

Madness whoever it was tho.

I agree

 

[Pratters]

Aren't they just? Hodge has been superb.

Yeah good defense and technique along with ability to play shots to make runs off balls which are slightly off line.

 

[Pratters]

There has been a bit for the Windies bowlers but generally it has been very poor batting from Australia today.

 

[parttimer]

Have they taken the new ball yet? Must take it now IMO

 

[Scaly piscine]

I'm sure someone has mentioned it already, but it's somewhat amusing the way the wickets have fallen:

MJ Clarke c sub (DR Smith) b Edwards 5
...
A Symonds run out (sub [DR Smith]) 1
+AC Gilchrist c sub (DR Smith) b Bravo 2

Is Ponting fit to explode or is there a genuine injury or both?

Thus the term Super sub

What a ball!

:Who says you have to bowl 150 kph to get wickets with swinging yorkers?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

So you're far behind in the test match. Your team looks for you for help as you're one of the senior players with a good average. Do you try and settle down for a long innings and try to save the game? HELL NO! you play it like a one day game and try to hit the best fast bowler in the world around the park...BRAINS!

It may have been a great ball but trying to hit it for 4 doesnt help matters :P

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Lee is bowling some serious pace with this wind. 154 km/h the last one.

It's pretty sad West Indies already lost another wicket. I jus hope they don't lose by an inning.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Hoping for a big Lara knock here.

 

[ir0n desi]

Smith falls too..and West Indies looking for another collapse

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Lee really is having a wonderful series. He's bowled one poor spell in each test so far, and quite a number of very good ones. Good signs for his future as a test bowler.

 

[age_master]

Chanderpaul gone too - its all up to Lara now

He should be fined.. He needs to learn how to appeal rather than running down the pitch and celebrating anything that hits the pads.

very intersting day so far, been up all morning. Great fight back from WI they really used wahtever help they were getting from the overcast conditions added to the good discipline lines & lengths that they all bowled.

Must say Hodge looked as organised as a test debutant as i've seen in a long time, it was like watching martyn bat . In light of that Clarke really must think he could loose his test place now, he is struggling for runs but he's young & he'll come back because he's the future for australia in the middle order...

Thats if he has the discipline to keep doing it.

But, it is good to see at least when he realises bowling very fast just ain't getting him wickets, that he adapts and changes to more of a line and length bowler.

And not so many bouncers!

After Matthew Hoggard's fine there must be a few Australians in danger of losing a few pennies in this match.

Hmmm what a disappionting Test match and series this going to be.

Talk about being one sided, has there been moments in this series apart from this morning when the West Indies can say they have had a period they been on top, and I'm talking about at least one or two sessions.
