1st Test | West Indies v Australia | Bridgetown

[Statsman]

I think its a really positive move on their behalf maybe they can get a couple of early wickets and get on top of this match

True. But my theory says get as many runs as possible against the Aussies. You'll never know when you need them. A few attacking shots and 20-30 runs in the next 4-5 overs may have turned out to be crucial in the end.

Chanderpaul's most attacking shot is a legside glance for two, he was never going to smash it around.

Bishoo could have. Yeah, but I get the point.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pace!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Weird shot.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Playing pace well here

 

[Statsman]

and Marlon Sameuls?

Whom would you play him ahead of?

 

[Saurav]

Whom would you play him ahead of?

Deonarine?

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

nice shot

 

[Bullet Drive]

146 kph

 

[Bullet Drive]

WOW, consitently 90mph +

 

[Statsman]

Deonarine?

Yeah. Why's he playing?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Another 145kph

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yeah. Why's he playing?

In great form.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Roach should go around the wicket too

 

[Statsman]

In great form.

Ya, wow.

Lets see if he can replicate that out here.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

I think they should introduce Bishoo in the last 5 overs or so, Have the Aussies faced him before?

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

wonderful cover drive

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

They seem to be swinging and messing quite a lot for my liking, aggression is good but not mindless slogging

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

The night watchmen showing the defensive mindset of the Aussies, although quite a formidable batting lneup

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

another , good controlled aggression

 

[Saurav]

The night watchmen showing the defensive mindset of the Aussies, although quite a formidable batting lneup

yeah I hate nightwatchmen,dunno why teams do that

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

James, my man, any betsies on ths match?

 

[James]

Yeah go on then, for fun. West Indies to win. 1 donut.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

another :foue, Warner getting into his flow

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Hmm I reckon the same result, anything else we can bet on?

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Yep, here comes Bishoo, interesting...

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Well Ive changed my mind, my donut's on the Aussies

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

I think the RR will be the main difference between the two sides

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

ooo lukcy, almost dragged back on

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Light accepted, good game of cricket ahead, nice relaxing to see after all the IPL madness, Warner has however raced to 27 if they things continue in a similar fashion they could almost reach the target by tomorrow and post a decent total the day after, however I feel that Bishoo an Sammy could be the key figures tomorrow

 

[OZGOD]

Not a bad ending to the day. Bright enough to make the Windies go to bed a bit nervous tonight.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Warner picks off where he stopped

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

oops

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

I tild you sammy and bushoo would be key, in comes watson

 

[wrongun]

That might keep Sammies doubters quiet for an innings or so.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Huge appeal..... Watson survives

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Watto looking shhaky and very lucky, iif only they had reffered

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Twice lucky

 

[wrongun]

Windies cannot afford to be so unlucky here. This batting lineup can turn that into a huge total.

Windies need something more to show for their dominance this morning.

 

[shan]

Watto could have been huge wicket wo WI. Cant see

 

[Bullet Drive]

Amazing stuff. Another wicket

 

[Bullet Drive]

Massive massive wicket

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

The dangerous looking Warner gone, Sammy on a roll. Australia in a bit of a pickle now

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 wickets for Sammy now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sammy with a bowling average of 29 in the purest form of cricket.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good catch from Bravo, I remember him being a poor fielder.

 

[Bullet Drive]

In comes Ponting, this should be interesting now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great nagging line and length from Sammy. He keeps bowling there. Amazing stuff.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ponting in now. 41 test centuries. 53.44 average. WOW!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Need to get Ponting early here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Watson is much better when he's attacking. He needs to be positive.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely stroke, no runs for Ponting.

 

[Bullet Drive]

That's the over too, great over.

 

[wrongun]

Roach has troubled Ponting alot in the past, this could get interesting...

 

[Bullet Drive]

Amazing shot.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

perfect cover drive, shot of the day so far, effortless

 

[Bullet Drive]

Roach to Ponting now.

 

[wrongun]

4 bouncers was stupid. Ponting is susceptible to LBW early. He had pushed him back, it was time for the full one.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

nice hook shot by Ponting to get him going

 

[Bullet Drive]

Poor over from Roach. Bowl Fidel.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Should bowl gone for a full straight one. LBW is the way

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nice from Edwards.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Beautifully played.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Such a lovely batsmen to watch is Watson.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Should've been 3 down now, captains still don't know when they use the reviews and Watto punishes them with another . Wonder how much this will cost them. As I'm typing this another by Watto, he's really getting going

 

[Bullet Drive]

Huge blow. Poor from Watson.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Now Ponting gone, Australia in trouble now. Thats why I love to watch WI after Pak,, so much passion unpredictability

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

And Bishoo hast even boled yet...

 

[wrongun]

Oh boy. In trouble but still have Watson, Clarke, Hussey, Wade & the tail to go.

Great batting could still make 450.

Average batting 300.

Poor batting 200-250.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Maybe Lee could do a Sammy

 

[wrongun]

Maybe Lee could do a Sammy

Lee?

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Miss hit for , seeing the current trend a wicket s around he corner, boundary, boundary, wicket. One thing's for sure Australia is going to go out all gun blazing

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Lee?

Yeah when Lee hit quite a few sixes during the ODI's and Sammy upped the tempo yesterday with a quickfire 41.

 

[Strike!]

Just saw the replay of that run out. Wow.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Feels like he Aussies are playing as if they're beng forced to play, no concentration, no will, no plan, just going through the motions

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Edwards almost got Watto there, WI looking quite ivvely while the Aussie shoulders continue to droop

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

, so now 2 six's, time for a wicket

 

[wrongun]

I disagree about the Aussie body language.

I have seen this a hundred times. They just try to knuckle down and survive this tough period, don't care if it is ugly. Then as the other teams get frustrated they begin to push the pressure back.

They will try to soak it up for another hour or so into the next session & then press.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Awww, my prediction almost came true, well maybe next couple of balls
