*Official* West Indies In Australia

[Pothas]

Oh Shiv....do not expect that of him.

 

[Uppercut]

Haha but a lot of people had already done much the same with his performances in England, saying "conditions were perfect for him there" so the fact that he was Australia's best player on a tour where the attack went to pieces doesn't count for anything. It's as though as soon as he returns to the country where he's played cricket for his entire life the ability to consistently hold an excellent line and length with outswing at 85-90mph will suddenly become redundant.

Slats giving heaps to Gayle. Ouch.

@ Gayle putting his bat between his legs, pointing it at the camera and Heals saying "That's massive."

 

[aussie]

Aussie in 12 months time to go on a 'drop Hilf' campaign and cite this Test as being against a crap batting line-up so doesn't count.

Lame, gotta come better than that yo..

BTW unlike some of your australian's who for some odd reason has been questioning Hilfy's place & ability since the SA tour concluded. I haven't, so if anyone is going to go off on such ludicrous a rant in 12 months time, it probably will be you since you thought of it first.

 

[morgieb]

Barath batting well here, it seems.

 

[Nate]

I'll put my hand up saying Hilf isn't in my starting XI.

 

[Uppercut]

Personally I don't see what any Australian bowler has done to warrant being selected ahead of him. Other than Johnson, who has been horribly out of sorts for about six months, Hilfy's outperformed every other candidate in his short test career.

Is this his being crap in ODIs counting against him?

TBH, that's not really a problem, there are other bowlers in with a decent shout. It's people belittling Hilf's performances when given the opportunity that grates.

Yeah, this. People decide long in advance that they'd prefer Bollinger or Clark or whoever in the team, and when Hilfenhaus puts the rest of the team to shame in the most important series there is, or when he takes three wickets in his opening spell, they come up with some excuse for why it doesn't count.

 

[Oscillatingmind]

come on bowl hauritz allready, i was in the ****ter when he got his wickets.

 

[aussie]

Chappell very wrong about Ganga being good enough to hold a place in the current WI team as batsman here.

 

[roseboy64]

That's it me lad. Maiden 50.

He can bat at 8 and replace Benn.

Though really there isn't much of a difference between him and Nash, both limited and Nash has a good start to test cricket thanks to some nice flat wickets.

 

[NUFAN]

If Sarwan is fit for the next Test, who will get dropped now that the two younger guys Barath and Dowlin have done quite well.

Will Bravo just take on the extra bowling workload instead of Taylor?

1 Barath 2 Gayle 3 Sarwan 4 Dowlin 5 Chanderpaul 6 Nash 7 Bravo 8 Ramdin 9 Benn 10 Roach 11 Rampaul/Tonge. .

Fairly weak bowling, the team above could draw a match in Aus, not so certain it would win a match.

Ganga had his share of flat wickets.

Dowlin's 32. Nice try anyway.

Reckon Dowlin will get the axe, as Barath's virtually carrying the innings.

Not as flat as the wickets seen when England last toured the Caribbean, even Ramdin was getting 150+ scores.

Younger as in least experienced.

Their probably aint much to separate Ganga & Nash indeed. But Ganga wasted alot of his chances others guys deserve a go now before he can ever be considered again TBF.

Ganga to me would be WIs version of Mike Brearley.

Pretty sure Ganga's batted at the ARG more than once.

Anyway, Ganga won't be getting another chance anytime soon.
