1st Test | West Indies v Australia | Bridgetown

[Bullet Drive]

Nathan Lyon is on now. 0-60.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lyon gone at 3.53 an over. Expensive.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Baugh might be gone here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Baugh looks run out here. Yes NO, poor cricket. Baugh goes unfortunately.

 

[wrongun]

22 off 37. This is where Baugh usually gives it away. Baugh must stay at the wicket now.

you killed him mate

 

[Bullet Drive]

Must say great throw. In comes Sammy. Big hitting time!

 

[Bullet Drive]

316-6. Sammy must stay at the crease and play with Chanderpaul. 400 is needed on this flat deck.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lyon overpitches, doesn't get it through.

 

[Bullet Drive]

That's a good shot. Boundary. 69*

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lets the last ball go. 320-6

 

[Bullet Drive]

1340 runs at Barbados for Chanderpaul. Amazing stuff. Average of 67.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Holding sarcastically saying Sarwan is too old to play for WI at 31 ) )

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sammy averaged 53.33 at a strike rate of 160 during the ODI series. WOW.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sammy off the mark, keeps the strike. Sammy vs spin.

 

[OZGOD]

May just be able to roll them for par score.

 

[wrongun]

Sammy. boom boom boom 3 boundaries.

Pressure on Lyon/Clarke now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sammy with an amazing over.

 

[Bullet Drive]

If I was AUS I wouldn't take the spin off. Keep bowling spin and keep flighting the ball to Sammy. He will get out eventually.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I would bowl Clarke to Sammy.

 

[Bullet Drive]

On comes Watson.

 

[cricketworm]

Need 100 more runs for WI. Foot prints are not enough for Bishoo yet.

 

[Bullet Drive]

I hope AUS don't take Lyon off for Sammy.

 

[Bullet Drive]

If Lyon stays on I'm sure he'll get Sammy out.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Now lets see what happens. Sammy 15(13)

He is continuing his great form.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Sammy throwing the kitchen sink at it here

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hussey comes on to Sammy

 

[Bullet Drive]

Now this will be interesting, Hussey to Sammy.

He may get him, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Almost bringing a wicket. 2 runs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

17(14)

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sensible from Sammy. 1 run.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Clarke really should have bowled him self in this situation.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Four byes.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Late inswing to the left hander.

 

[Bullet Drive]

342-6 now. Good total here. 400 needs to be scored and then some big hitting from Sammy can be done.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rest of the batsmen are batsmen who just nudge it around and are grafters.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Its drinks here, Sammy on strike.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Clarke should be brave now and bowl him self.

 

[wrongun]

I would have tempted Sammy for another over or two of spin with a long off back. He usually holes out or gets out prodding if he changes his game.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Clarke should have bowled him self. Bouncer on his head haha.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Peak

 

[Bullet Drive]

0.496 secs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

New helmet brought on.

 

[Bullet Drive]

WOW, what a shot.

 

[Bullet Drive]

An absolute beauty.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Now bowls a short ball. Watson with a look.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Chanderpaul on strike now.

 

[cricketworm]

Has anyone complained or whined about flat track yet? Oh wait! India isn't playing.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Clarke must bowl him self to Sammy. Clarke will get Sammy easily.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hilfenhaus is on now. He bowls a real good bouncer.

 

[Inswinger]

Anyone know why Sarwan is out of the Windies team? Gayle and Sarwan could really help the younger players develop.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Woman physio

 

[cricketworm]

Sammy's head is still buzzing. Vibration in vestibular system!

 

[wrongun]

Anyone know why Sarwan is out of the Windies team? Gayle and Sarwan could really help the younger players develop.

He averaged 9.5 over his last 6 test innings and then did nothing in the 1 dayers. Dropped on form, rightly so in my opinion.

 

[Amjid Javed]

W.I building well here, albeit slowly.

W.I 348/6 - 400 would be a par total on 1st inns on this surface i think.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nice ball there from Hilfenhaus.

 

[cricketworm]

50 more runs and WI is favorite for this test. (obvious post)

 

[cricketworm]

Boom Boom Sammy! Go Sammy Go Sammy

 

[wrongun]

Slammin Sammy!

 

[cricketworm]

Frustrated Twatto is one of the most beautiful sight in cricket.

 

[talha3]

Cmon Windies! A WI series win will see Pakistan go above Australia in the rankings.

 

[cricketworm]

Good come back by Watto.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sammy is a good old fashion W.I cowlasher! but hes proving his worth in the suide over recent times.

W.I 359/6

 

[cricketworm]

it hit the grill now. let's see how Sammy responds.

 

[cricketworm]

Threw it away a bit, but still very imp. runs those.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sammy gone, was fun while it lasted!

 

[Amjid Javed]

roach has ability to hang around so its down to shiv to get a 100 and get W.I past 400 mark here

 

[OZGOD]

This is a pretty decent score IMO. I was hoping we could roll them for 350 or so.

 

[James]

Scoring 400 first up is a near-guaranteed pathway to competing in a test match. Well done West Indies. They can certainly draw this test, and might even win if they bowl outstandingly.

Can Australia avoid the follow-on? I still think Aussie might come back and win, but their fielding has been disappointing so far.

 

[majiz]

why on earth no pattinson?

 

[12cavalry]

Wade does a Kami.

 

[Ruri]

Pattinson! Seriously, Hilfenhaus over Patto? Catching's been bad too.

 

[James]

Sammy is proving me wrong, he seems to be underrated!

Definitely rate Patto above Hilfy. Maybe James isn't fully fit or something. It seems a bizarre omission after the India series

 

[Saurav]

Hilfy also took truckload of wickets against us.but I agree Patto is better

 

[majiz]

ian harvey is a terrible pundit. what is he even saying?

 

[Ruri]

Hilfy also took truckload of wickets against us.but I agree Patto is better

Hilfy is a swing bowler, and one that generally isn't that tricky. He was always going to take wickets against a side that can't play early swing.

[Ruri]

Stocky blonde legspinner up now. Curious. When did Warnie make a comeback?

 

[Saurav]

<3 Finding ways to troll India in a West Indies-Aussie thread

dont worry we'll take revenge in November

 

[Ruri]

Cowan, Wade and Ponting. Get to bowling!

 

[Saurav]

Stocky blonde legspinner up now. Curious. When did Warnie make a comeback?

yeah his action is quite similar too)
