316-6. Sammy must stay at the crease and play with Chanderpaul. 400 is needed on this flat deck.
 
May just be able to roll them for par score.
 
Sammy. boom boom boom 3 boundaries.

Pressure on Lyon/Clarke now.
 
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.
 
Need 100 more runs for WI. Foot prints are not enough for Bishoo yet.
 
Now this will be interesting, Hussey to Sammy.

He may get him, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
 
342-6 now. Good total here. 400 needs to be scored and then some big hitting from Sammy can be done.
 
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.
 
Has anyone complained or whined about flat track yet? Oh wait! India isn't playing.
 
Anyone know why Sarwan is out of the Windies team? Gayle and Sarwan could really help the younger players develop.
 
Sammy's head is still buzzing. Vibration in vestibular system!

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.
 
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.
 
Frustrated Twatto is one of the most beautiful sight in cricket.
 
Cmon Windies! A WI series win will see Pakistan go above Australia in the rankings.
 
Sammy is a good old fashion W.I cowlasher! but hes proving his worth in the suide over recent times.

W.I 359/6
 
roach has ability to hang around so its down to shiv to get a 100 and get W.I past 400 mark here
 
This is a pretty decent score IMO. I was hoping we could roll them for 350 or so.
 
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? :p I still think Aussie might come back and win, but their fielding has been disappointing so far.
 
Pattinson! Seriously, Hilfenhaus over Patto? Catching's been bad too.
 
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

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.
 
<3 Finding ways to troll India in a West Indies-Aussie thread :))
 
Stocky blonde legspinner up now. Curious. When did Warnie make a comeback?
