***Official*** Australia in the West Indies 2012

[NasserFan207]

Yesssss

Suck it Aussies

 

[Jarquis]

Good bumper and a good decision.

 

[Howe_zat]

Samuels 3-0-5-2

Hang your heads in shame, Aussies.

Looks bad, but 225 or so should be fine.

 

[NasserFan207]

I'm still trying to work out Narine's action. It looks for all the world that he's going to bowl the dibbliest dobblies of all time. Then he bowls and weird things happen

He's similar to Mendis except he actually turns it

 

[howardj]

Is that Tim Paine in the comm box?

 

[Howe_zat]

So why is Bailey playing?

 

[Debris]

26 (64). Forrest looked pretty clueless against the slow stuff.

It was a bit hidden behind the size of his scores but he did the same thing in Australia. He doesn't seem to realise that strikerate is as important as runs. He might surprise but does not look suited to playing ODIs at all.

 

[Howe_zat]

141/4 after 40. This ODI coming fresh from 1983.

 

[Debris]

Australia have been losing a few ODIs recently from lack of ambition. They seem to set themselves a low target and bat to reach it.

 

[Jarquis]

200 still looking a little way off. Should get there though.

 

[Jarquis]

Haha, golden for Wade. I take it back. Less confident about them getting 200.

 

[NasserFan207]

Narine is going to really enjoy himself during this series

 

[Howe_zat]

Narine to Wade, OUT, Wade hasn't survived his first ball. Narine pitched the offbreak on a good length on middle and off stump, drawing the batsmen forward. He then spun it across the left-hander, inducing the outside edge as Wade tried to defend. Bravo took a low catch at first slip

Hard to believe this is the 44th over of an ODI.

 

[TT Boy]

All well and good but I just looked at the Windies side, how they expected to score the runs? They have 9 guys who can "bat" but one of those guys who apparently is a frontline batsman averages 19 in FC cricket. Couldn't make it up. Proper ****.

 

[TT Boy]

So why is Bailey playing?

Looks like a top innings all things considered now.

 

[Howe_zat]

**** decision to bring back Bravo. He'd bowled pies all day and gone for twice the rate of Sammy, who has two overs left.

 

[Howe_zat]

Looks like a top innings all things considered now.

Yeah, fair play to him. Just seems a weird selection, especially considering they're playing an extra batsman today.

 

[Ausfanintoronto]

Should have carried an extra spinner....but looking at this mickey mouse wicket ...203 could very well be sufficient

 

[NasserFan207]

Average score. If Shiv was playing I'd give WI the edge, as it is things are relatively even.

 

[Furball]

Always ****s me off that Sky have that tit Colin Croft in the studio for West Indies series.
