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

[The_CricketUmpire]

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

Not good. Just a stats padding exercise for the Aussie batters and bowlers. Meaningless series.

 

[Starfighter]

Will they make it to tea?

 

[Gnske]

I don't blame Cummins for wanting to bat only once, but its not like the follow on would have been particularly tiring.

Give Haze a rest since the man is the most glass-boned and blood Morris in Brisbane at this rate.

 

[Gnske]

Debut Larry Neil-Smith as well, the man is the embodiment of fast bowling.

 

[Gnske]

I see Greaves was coached in his youth by Ian Bell

 

[Qlder]

Australia's bowling attack is now the most successful foursome in history

They're currently in their 27th Test together for 434 wkts which overtakes England's 433 wkts in 34 Tests by Anderson, Broad, Stokes and Ali

Cummins - 121 wkts @ 21.46
Starc - 110 wkts @ 28.37
Hazlewood - 102 wkts @ 24.04
Lyon - 101 wkts @ 34.25

 

[Athlai]

The previous best ever bowling attack had Ali in it? Truly a prestigious honorific.

 

[Prince EWS]

JDS really shouldn't be batting lower than 5 in this lineup. Hard ask to get him to bat higher than that and still keep but he's wasted at 7 in such a poor side, especially without Holder to bat with and keep the lower order together.

Sorry about the Day 4 tickets Spark, doesn't look like this will get there..

 

[Spark]

Sorry about the Day 4 tickets Spark, doesn't look like this will get there..

Yeah I've all but written that off

 

[Athlai]

Australia might bat 210 overs tbf. Out of malice

 

[Prince EWS]

Sorry about the Day 4 tickets Spark, doesn't look like this will get there..

Maybe Smith and Marnus will bat for three days.

You have to question why Windies get tests in Australia regularly when Bangladesh and Zim have not played there since 2004.

I know why, I just don't think it's fair. You can't tell me CA make more off this series than they would against Bangladesh given how many Banglas live here.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Feel sorry for SA cricket fans that they got the West Indies in consecutive seasons; especially when they have an excellent Test attendance history.

Also good question why they're getting ODIs still when they can't even qualify for the WC.

Especially since the West Indies were here last year already.

They would've sent much closer to full strength teams too.

 

[Spark]

Feel sorry for SA cricket fans that they got the West Indies in consecutive seasons; especially when they have an excellent Test attendance history.

And yet still manage to out-attend Perth with only a fraction of the deranged mouth-frothing that accompanies that particular discussion.

 

[Burgey]

If Green was really that good in the gully he’d have snaffled that
