Not that I've been following cricket at all lately, or even using this section of CW, with the series starting tomorrow, I've ventured back. And from what I heard at school he is.
How's everyone planning on following these games. I'm taking my old phone to school with me, so I can use the radio on that, and use the battery, while keeping my other, newer phone, for, err, being a phone.

I'll watch as much as possible. Gratingly I've got school on the weekdays, so I'll probably only catch the final session then
(notwithstanding some lunchtime scorecard updates in camera, with the assistance of Cricinfo).
I also have requiste extra-curricular commitments on Sunday, which unfortunately means being deprived of watching the first session.
Hoping for a decent contest.

Yes, he is, and he went straight from the plane to practice in the nets....
However, in the last practice session, Sarwan may just have hurt his back.
Let's hope he's better, and won't have to be replaced by either Dowlin or Deonarine. To me, losing Sarwan is a bigger blow than losing Gayle....

Reckon the decision will be vindicated.

Atleast he has a touch of hair these days.
First time I ever watched Bollinger bowl for NSW I swore I was watching a long time Sydney grade cricket pro who had been called up for a couple of games late in his career (thinking he was 34-35 years of age), Bollinger was 23.

Don't know whether to hope, for the sake of a contest, that the Windies bat or bowl. If they bowl, maybe Gayle has a chance to get rid of the worst of his jet lag before he has to bat, but normally batting first gives teams the best chance at the Gabba.
If Mitch's radar's working, and Gayle is jet-lagged, it could get very interesting for him.

Looking forward to this series myself, even booked a couple of days off so I can record it and watch the full days play.
Hoping the WI turn up, and while I don't believe they can win the series, I do think there will be sessions of play where they will be competitive, more so if Ramnaresh Sarwan passes his fitness test, as he is obviously a big player for WI. Having looked at the WI probable XI they do look a batsman short, so there is even more importance on Sarwan's availability.
With their attack, Jerome Taylor is clearly the main threat, but the pace of Kemar Roach makes him an exciting player to watch, his control will naturally be crucial.
For Australia, will be good to see if Siddle can continue to enhance his reputation, and whether Watson can go on and make a big score at the top of the order. If he doesn't, Roogers, Jaques and Hughes may well be preparing themselves for another shot.
