***Official*** West Indies tour of Australia, Jan–Feb 2024

[Prince EWS]

Green's slip to Lyon

Makes sense, Lyon doesn't need a gully.

It's not even just that he takes everything that comes his way there including screamers noone else would - it almost seems like putting him there cosmically results in more chances going through that area.

Combination of skill and size enables him to get to chances that others can’t

Wouldn’t have been surprised if he caught the edge from Chanderpaul that Marsh didn’t even move for

His own catch was unbelievably good yet he made it look easy and I doubt that anyone else in the world would have taken it

So WI #3-6 have 3 Tests between them facing one the best Aussie attacks ever...hardly seems fair

That was a rank over from Mitch

 

[CricAddict]

This Aussie test side has both good batting and bowling depth. Head, Smith, Labu, Green and Marsh can all bowl while Starc and Cummins can bat.

But they’re battling on. Grind it baby

Bit of a stretch with Smith. He's bowled 3 overs in last 15 Tests

He does clearly want a new challenge. Might bat 9 and bowl bulk overs if opening doesn't work out.

 

[Starfighter]

Oof. Had no business leaving that.

 

[Son Of Coco]

That was a tight leave.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Good to see they got Hazlewood to pose for the camera like it's 1899.

 

[Spark]

Well that's the last time Mitch Marsh gets any input on whether to review.

 

[Isura]

It's tough to play in Australia with only 2 good batsmen.

 

[Kirkut]

Ireland, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan or Bangladesh would be more challenging opponents than this WI squad but we don't let any of them tour

I think this is their last chance and when they fail to make a spectacle we shouldn't ask them back

Hypothetically if we had the ability to time travel and let's say someone from the 80s read this...

 

[Gnske]

Can this man stop being so s*xy in the gully for just one ****ing minute

 

[Daemon]

He's already the GOAT gully fielder

 

[Spark]

That really is an appalling shot.

 

[Gnske]

PEWS or whoever said it before was right, this giant Nordic god we have in the gully is a magnet for the ball.

I swear a lot of his catches as well another gully and third slip combination would just end up out of reach or just looking at each other with no one going for it.

 

[Spark]

I mean, yeah, this just isn't looking at all like it'll be a contest.
