*Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

[Darwin Award]

Good to have an away warm up clean sweep ahead of the home summer clean sweep of England.

Not if Joe Root has anything to say about it.. LOL!

Burgey may point out he has to answer some questions first before having a say in anything else.

Yeah, he's so often stood defiantly between Australia and a home Ashes win.

 

[Gnske]

What a great way to sign off a horrible test series by having a snooze fest of a T20 series against the Cricketing version of the Holy Roman Empire.

 

[Burgey]

NGL, I didn't have Shamar Joseph in the role of Charlemagne, but here we are.

 

[Daemon]

Tim David made 30 while batting at 5 before being dismissed in over 4.4. He should just open.

 

[Spark]

I don't know why they are playing like this. Did the same in the ODIs v Pakistan last summer and got bowled a couple times in like 30 something overs. Irresponsible tactics

It's a set strategy, right? They want to encourage the batsmen to always play like this to remove the fear of being dismissed if they hole out.

 

[CricAddict]

It's boozeball, an advanced version of bazball to t20.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

At this point, we are simply just masochists.

I don't think the West Indies have ever been blanked 8-0 in a series at home before if they lose again here.

India beat them 7-0 some years back when they won the test series 2-0,T20 series 3-0 and then the ODI series 2-0 (1 washout) to blank them.

Lost all the tosses in this series too

 

[Beamer]

Lost all the tosses in this series too

We are experts at losing in multiple categories. Matches, tosses and also match fees for slow over rates. Not the best tour to watch if you're West Indian.

Australia looks cheap, Kiwis ridiculous

Wow!

I knew they got hammered 5-0 in the tests under Lara but I never realised it was THAT bad in the ODI's.

The most I ever saw was South Africa in a 7 match ODI series against Sri Lanka from memory being up 6-0 and chasing in the 7th ODI and being in a commanding position midway through the game only to donate a win against Sri Lanka when they threw away their last 7 or so wickets with not that many to chase I think.

I'm guessing that has to be the only 6-0 drubbing to date??

West Indies record in Oz for ODIs has been dreadful for a long time. Even though people assume theyre going to be more competitive in ODIs than Tests, it's actually a fair but worse.

Haven't beaten Oz in an ODI match in Oz since 1996/97; Oz have won 20 in a row or thereabouts.
