Sharp catch that

WAC. What. A. CATCh.

 

[jaydesh]

It was healy not chappell iirc

Yeah correct. Healy really can be an idiot with his takes. Loved his keeping back in the day, but I feel like he has sour grapes against anyone who gives it back to Australia. Typical Aussie cheerleader like Mark Waugh. Chappelli is one of the many sensible voices.

 

[Stefan9]

without steve this aus batting looks very vulnerable.

 

[chris.hinton]

Its funny when old man Australia are struggling

 

[Sliferxxxx]

Call me a pessimist but we long ago already established that the WI bowling is decent to very good at home. The batting on the other hand. Well I have absolutely no confidence in them.

If Keacy Carty and Shai Hope can replicate their ODI form, Australia are in big trouble..

Reckon West indies should just go for it in their innings. They aren't going to block out hazlewood and cummins on this pitch

I really really Hope that Carty does well

This (the batting line up) has been true, since Lara (and later C'paul) retired.

Commentators were going to go with why is Greaves bowling after a break again (they wanted the main bowlers to continue). Greedy.

They didn’t even finish their sentence and Greaves bites the edge of Head

 

[Thala_0710]

Greaves looks like quite a decent 5th bowler to have

 

[jaydesh]

The key for now has to be cleaning up the tail. That's what India failed to do a couple of days back in Leeds. The last 4 batsmen can still hang around a bit and bring the total close to 200 or so. WI wouldn't want to put extra burden on their batting lineup, which is hit and miss at best. Conditions will deteriorate most likely later on, hence they'll need to factor that in too.

 

[Thala_0710]

They're getting run through here

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Another one goes. Jayden with his third.

Let’s clean up the tail

 

[chris.hinton]

@Burgey it’s a great watch mate

 

[jaydesh]

Still 2 wickets to go, but WI bowlers are showing the non-Bumrah Indian bowlers how to bowl consistently in the right areas.

 

[Nas207]

The odds of this going to day 4 have to be low

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nice (shot) Garry!

 

[jaydesh]

WI batters need to keep it simple on this pitch. They almost had South Africa last year, but fell short due to their collapse. OZ's bowling will post a big challenge.
