*Official* West Indies In Australia

[NUFAN]

Yeah might as well chuck in Khawaja and Henriques too.

Actually think Khawaja will become a very good test player down the track.

Cricinfo saying that McKay was the only one to receieve a baggy green this morning so Hauritz is set to play.

 

[Julian87]

Should have sent Aaron O'Brien over as cover tbh.

 

[pasag]

Do us proud Clint.

Nah, he's burnt his NSW, and therefore Aussie bridges.

 

[Dark Hunter]

Clint, WAG. Pity that Ricky's decided to hand over the baggy green instead of former players, reckon it would have been a great moment for him if Lillee had been handing it over.

Tonge gets his first cap and Deonarine his first Test in about 4 years.

 

[Julian87]

Wow.

What a weak Windies batting order.

They did have to drop Sammy though.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Congratulations to the C-Bass.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

What a weak Windies batting order.

In fairness, Deonarine has been about as good as any West Indian with the bat of late. Yet to see if it translates to Test runs, but certainly good ability there.

 

[Burgey]

This looks a belter tbh.

[Howsie]

Well that should of been taken.

 

[Uppercut]

Roach has looked a lot less effective against the lefties when I've seen him here. Anyone else notice that or is it just me?

 

[chalky]

Taking wickets is gonna be difficult enough without dropping sitters, a life for Watson

 

[Top_Cat]

Good Lord, get Watson out of the opening spot before he does something really silly like a cross-bat swipe across the.....

Never mind.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Regulation slip chance, two hands to it, in and out, and it's the keeper's miss?

Been something that I've heard the ABC radio team mention a few times. Doesn't seem to have that same wobble when he's pushing the ball across the leftie.

 

[Burgey]

Can't understand why 1st slip should ever have to go low left when the keeper's back tbh.

Adam Gilchrist explained it though. Anyway, there's no way that the blame should be on Ramdin there. It's not like he left Gayle with a difficult chance. It was straightforward and he got both hands around it.

When Mark Nicholas started telling a story about David Lloyd, my only thought was, "please, Mark, don't do the accent."

He did the accent.
