*Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

I know it was rumoured, but I really didn't think we'd actually drop Lyon to play four seamers.

While I can see Boland being our best bowler on these decks, nobody would care if we “rested” Haze as he doesn’t play every test these days anyway

For the T20 series, Bartlett's coming in to replace Johnson, who's injured (of course). But they're also bringing in Fraser-McGurk. Why? What's their obsession with him?

uuuuuunf that was ***y from Seales

 

[Burgey]

Can’t see this going more than about three and a bit days either

If West Indies bowl very well here they'll have to bat under lights which will end.. poorly

Green is a very talented player

Not a 3, needs to work on playing with softer hands & knocking the ball around for singles but he’s levels above some of the others on ability alone

I'm impressed that he's fought his way back into the series like this after his horror start, shows a lot of mental strength. Fair enough dismissal too, not a huge amount you can do about a nut like that

[slowfinger]

that 46 enough to save Green's bacon for now?

Drop the strike rate Jayden

lol at the turn

Was going to say before he got Green that it's a travesty he hasn't been rewarded with at least 2 wickets. Extremely unlucky.

Certainly an interesting deck to drop Lyon on. Decent part of it would be they know Webster bowls offies, but by the same token it looks the sort of pitch which his seamers will be handy on

Smith still looks orders of magnitude better than anyone else on decks which do a lot. I maintain a large part of that is he bats like an old school player and doesn’t plonk on the front foot as early as nearly everyone else these days.

Smudge test average 56.56 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Smudge]

Pretty soon they're going to have to cover up everything in the stadium with black cloth just to keep Smith happy. Tedious ****.

Head the ideal bloke to have out here in this situation. You'd think they'd be tempted to just get to 250 asap and have a bowl.

Peak self-loathing.

**** what a shot. Carey just bopping Greaves over long off for six.

Backs it up with another four. Aus not here to **** spiders in the night session. Looks like they're going hard with a view to getting bowled out tonight and having a bowl.

Yeah the way Smith played post break makes it pretty clear what the plan is
