*Official* Australia vs West Indies - Frank Worrell Trophy 2022

[Beamer]

Genuinely, a lineup of
1.Tage
2.Kraigg
3.Bonner
4.Blackwood
5.King
6.Mayers/desilva/holder
7.desilva/holder/Mayer's
8.Holder/Mayer's/desilva
9.Motie/rakheem
10.Roach
11.Seales

Sounds lethal in the Carribbean.

I think we'll continue to be competitive in the Caribbean as you said. Especially with a more solid opening partnership.

What this series had outlined though, is that we will remain a low to middling test side until we get a much higher quality number 3 and 4 and get more express pace. Until this series Joseph had looked to be improving so I'd persist with him.

We have to find a way of being more competitive with the kookaburra though, it's not acceptable to be this bad with it.

Ok so yeah I agree wi bowling is bad (outside the WI) but let's be fair. Only an great attack ala India or RSA would do anything to this Australian lineup in Australia.

True, huge credit to this excellent Australian side. But for us to struggle this badly with the ball when we're so good with the dukes and reasonable with the SG suggests we have a big problem with the kooka. Especially when you consider we struggle almost as badly in NZ.

Why are they sending in a nightwatchman at four down? To protect Holder? Stupid.

Roston "first change bowl and no. 9 bat" Chase

 

[mr_mister]

This is bait, right?

To quote the great PEWS: mayhaps

But actually no I think he's taking him up the spot of a better number 6 (Maxwell)

Shai Hope's twin test tons in that awesome victory in England was such a false dawn. He should have become Lara after that or at least Sarwan

If he had been Carl Hooper I'd have been happy with even that. WI have zero batsmen who average over 35, much less 40.

 

[Shady Slim]

@OverratedSanity klaxon for a runout on a quick single with a nightwatchman at the other side

 

[TT Boy]

Missed that wicket. My go to site for sporting streams has been seized by the Department of Homeland Security.

 

[Coronis]

Really smart play from Anderson Phillip.

 

[morgieb]

Will Australia enforce the follow-on here or nah?

 

[TT Boy]

Aus might as well bat again but declare as soon as it gets dark…tomorrow.

 

[Beamer]

Seriously Anderson? Thanks a lot. That is the most crushing start to a days play possible.

 

[Shady Slim]

fielders making a big deal about jds french cut as if marnus doesn't get through like twenty of those every dig lmao

 

[Burgey]

Pretty great first couple of overs for Starc there.

Want JdS todo well here. Like the cut of his jib and seems a good keeper with it. That catch up to the stumps yesterday was quality

Seriously, let's be honest with ourselves, how can anyone take this Australia vs West Indies test series seriously? The West Indies are a rabble and have been for years. This series is simply a stats galore feast for the Aussie batsman and bowlers.

i think the bolded is true but the rest is not necessarily.

the windies are really formidable with the duke at home and they're formidable with the duke at home not due to mickey mouse pitches but rather because of their excellent (full strength) attack, even if their batting lineup has been lacking. discovering tage, as nintendo, silfer, and beamer all have pointed out, really starches that batting lineup if he can kick on. in saying that, their batting is generally brittle, their attack can't bowl with the kooka on our pitches (seemingly afflicting every country other than modern india and seth effrika), and they are injury beset at the moment.

 

[Starfighter]

Holder's blob is perfect comeuppance for his cowardice in not coming in last night.

 

[ashley bach]

Jeezus this is boring watching Gary Lyon plod away, why wouldn't Boland bowl first, no point feeling sorry for the Windies.

 

[Shady Slim]

haha marnus get ****ed yesssss
