What a session by the WI.
Probably their best for the series, even better than the Bravo/Ramdin partnership and when Lara was going. Because this pitch is still a batsman's paradise, and yet they picked up 4 vital wickets and kept the run rate below 2 runs per over!!! Brilliant, just brilliant.
Bravo is going to be something

Great performance by Bravo but, let's face it, the Aussies have been woeful.
This is a flat batting wicket, the bowling is around 120 ks, and there's hardly any movement.
Hodge got a great ball but ....
Symonds hit about 20 half-volleys straight to fieldmen before missing a dead straight ball
Gilly tried to provide catching practice before hitting a near wide to cover
Warnie had an absolute shocker. Missed 2 medium-paced, straight balls before bunting a straight ball back.
Granted there were 2 great catches and far more accurate bowling than weve seen from WI this summer. However, were not talking about a mine-field.
The situation is better reflected by Hussey. He has played each ball on its merits and not looked in any trouble whatsoever
I sensed trouble when Ponting basically said at his press conference before the match that they should beat the Windies and were looking forward to the arrival of SA.
Guess they've forgotten all about the Ashes.

well what a 1st session performances form the men form the caribbean, i have never seen such a controlled bowling performances by the WI since Walsh & Ambrose retired. Bravo has we all will agree was superb, i saw him when he took 6 for at OT last year & this performance was very similar. Definately a player with a great future...

How awesome is Bravo. Ive never loved the fall of Gilchrist's wicket before, but I was all smiles. And then his catch, my god what an over!! And he seems like such a nice, normal guy too. Good on him.
Great opportunity for Hussey to make his mark, batting with the tail and a defecit like this, especially as hes an opener (I just want him to play in Perth next month!).
