*Official* West Indies In Australia

[Athlai]

Love the Chanderpaul war paint.

Reckon this next session will decide the match.

Nah, session two tommorow tbh

If the Windies do pull this off, it will be a great accomplishment considering the talent that's not playing at the moment.

Jeez this West Indies team is an embarrassment......

Need to bowl some under arm to Deodorant.

I don't mind if we lose this test if it makes writers like Ben Dorries realise they're ****ing idiots who have no idea what they're on about. Unfortunately though I think his hide would be too thick.

Post first match fall out

Nothing like a Windies series to wash away post-Ashes blues.

This Series is precisely what Test cricket did not need at this particular time.

Next to England, we're probably the Country that most supports Test cricket, and this Series gives journalists a golden opportunity to write negative articles about the longer form of the game. This negativity was encapsulated in a piece in the Courier Mail on Friday, by none other than boofhead journalist himself Ben Dorries, highlighting the poor attendance. He neglected to mention that last year's first day of the Gabba Test drew even less fans.

Anyway, I maintain that if England, South Africa or India had have fronted at the Gabba last week, we would have seen very healthy crowds. In Australia anyway, Tests are not in trouble if the opposition is strong.

west indies need to be banned from test cricket just like zimbabwe.

Also a few classy Dougeh posts early on.

Is it time to make some predictions?

Aust by 63 runs

 

[Pratters]

West Indies will win this one IMO.

Are you watching Pratters?

 

[Son Of Coco]

If Dougeh gets Diamondtime's wicket here he could find himself in front of the judiciary too...I'm predicting the mother of all celebrations.

 

[Pratters]

Are you watching Pratters?

Yeah.

 

[Jono]

Wonder when Ponting will use a review. Deonarine was already out earlier and he didn't use it.

Edit: He's using it here.

 

[Pratters]

Wasn't out IMO. Hit outside the line of off stump.

 

[Jono]

Poor stuff Ponting. Use it when they're leaving the ball off Hauritz.

Watson crying about the result of the review.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Wow, big challenge. Love how Ponting was shouting to Watson 'Are you sure?'
Makes it a big call for the bowler.

Gee Deonarine is playing some good shots.

 

[Jono]

Aussies seriously struggling here.

Perth just isn't good for them anymore it seems.

 

[Manee]

This is surreal stuff.

 

[Pratters]

Watson's reactions when he gets a wicket or some thing goes against him are so exaggerated. Looks pretty stupid.

 

[Jono]

Ball starting to reverse.

This is a massive spell from Mitch. Absolutely huge.

 

[Pratters]

Such interesting cricket. Windies not scoring runs as Chappell is pointing out.. Australia not being able to get balls which produce chances either. It is a question of who will blink first.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Yeah, the Windies have ground to a halt the last few overs. Mitch needs to be on the money.
