Cricket Web - Features: Australia v West Indies Test series player ratings and summary
A trip down under with your side coming back after a players strike, very little cricket and without your premier fast bowler is not the most exciting prospect. Especially for a team that has not avoided defeat in Australia for almost a decade. Under these circumstances it was evident that West Indies were going to be easy push-overs for the Aussies. This series and the Pakistan series that is to follow were seen as little more than a pre-cursor to next summer's Ashes.
P.S: Can some one make this a sticky thread?
