Australia beat West Indies by 9 wickets in the first Test

[Neferpitou]

It's reversing now, Taylor needs to keep pushing it up. Don't wanna waste this opportunity.

 

[Neferpitou]

Fielding.

 

[Neferpitou]

Fantastic fantastic bowling from Bishoo! Smith gone. Big big wicket!

 

[Convict]

Will Watson succeed under pressure

 

[Pantani]

Now we have a game on our hands! G'waan West Indies

 

[Pantani]

Sharp keeping by Ramdin with that stumping.

 

[Neferpitou]

Lmao what a start by Watto.

 

[Pantani]

Watson and those coming in after him need to play their shots and put pressure back on West Indies. Voges can be the anchor they play around. Australia have to get to 280-300, somehow, because batting last on this wicket is going to be extremely difficult.

 

[Neferpitou]

Watson gone.

 

[Convict]

Will Watson succeed under pressure

No

 

[majiz]

Bishoo ripping through them

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Watto gone as well.

 

[MRSN]

Great bowling by Bishu. Ordinary stuff from Smith and Watson. This is test cricket not IPL tamasha league. Needs to show more respect.

 

[Pantani]

5 down now! Will Australia get to 200?

 

[Boi]

wow Aussies really do suck against any half decent spinner in turning conditions.

 

[MRSN]

I am really loving this pitch.

 

[MRSN]

wow Aussies really do suck against any half decent spinner in turning conditions.

That's why I have claimed Misbah is given too much credit for whitewashing Eng and Aus when anyone leading the team with decent spinners could have it done.

 

[Robert]

Come on Windies! Pace like fiyah!

 

[MRSN]

How many more balls will Haddin survive here?

 

[MRSN]

Come on Windies! Pace like fiyah!

Haha still remeber that. Sunny going mad over Ishant.

 

[Neferpitou]

Lets go!

 

[Convict]

Well not much Haddin could do about that ball.

 

[Smbhayi]

wow yeah Aussies Talk Nah

 

[Pantani]

Another toothpick.

 

[zabalestmsm]

This is an impressive line and length from S Gabriel with the ball reversing!

 

[zabalestmsm]

A Voges looks well set!

 

[Justcrazy]

133 / 6

 

[Pantani]

West Indies ought to try spin at both ends, bring Samuels on.

 

[Pantani]

Partnership crawls into double figures. 11 from six overs.

 

[Neferpitou]

Need Holder to sneak one here before Bishoo comes back.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Legspin is on the rise. . .

 

[honeybadger]

Legspin is on the rise. . .

You must be proud of your PP handle.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Surely,

 

[Pantani]

Australia in front.

Bring Bishoo back.

 

[Justcrazy]

152 . 6

 

[Neferpitou]

Bichoo needs to strike and he'll get a fifer. The rest of Aus's lineup are walking wickets against spin.

Excellent bowling from Bishoo. One away from his 2nd fifer, could end up with career best figures.

 

[honeybadger]

Good thing Windies finally decided to stop giving Sulieman Benn any more chances.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bishoo has been excellent in this inns, just goes to show the Aussies continue to struggle against decent spinners on surfaces which provide turn, maybe england should take note for the ashes.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Australia in front.

Bring Bishoo back.

I think if the Aussies get a lead of 75-100 here it will be a match winning one, scoring runs on this surface is going to get harder and Aussies wont want to chase to many runs on this surface batting last.

 

[Pantani]

Bishoo has been excellent in this inns, just goes to show the Aussies continue to struggle against decent spinners on surfaces which provide turn, maybe england should take note for the ashes.

That would be really interesting. On one hand, Lyon is a better spinner than Mooen. On the other hand, England's batsmen are better than Australia's against spin. So it would be a really close battle on turning wickets.

 

[the Great Khan]

That would be really interesting. On one hand, Lyon is a better spinner than Mooen. On the other hand, England's batsmen are better than Australia's against spin. So it would be a really close battle on turning wickets.

England need to play Rashid on turners. They'll deal with Lyon but not sure aussies can deal with a decent legspinner..but can Rashid be the man??

 

[Convict]

If they really want to go down that road it would be Rashid vs Ahmed

 

[Pantani]

England need to play Rashid on turners. They'll deal with Lyon but not sure aussies can deal with a decent legspinner..but can Rashid be the man??

That would be super interesting. Lyon and Fawad v Rashid and Moeen. Equally balanced. Fawad/Moeen the run leakers who pick up a wicket or two, Lyon and Rashid the attacking options.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I thin rashid needs to be given a go in the ashes series to test the Aussies out instead of moeen,

 

[shaz619]

I thin rashid needs to be given a go in the ashes series to test the Aussies out instead of moeen,

Definitely, Moeen is deadweight at the moment. They should either play a specialist spinner in that position or a batsman depending on the pitch conditions/team balance. With the wickets likely to be alot dryer then usual I'd prefer Rashid, if they choose to play a bat I'd give Taylor a debut

 

[Abdullah719]

If they really want to go down that road it would be Rashid vs Ahmed

Sounds like a good Ashes match-up.

 

[Convict]

I generally expect 50s from Voges at the moment

 

[Neferpitou]

Take off Samuels. Leaking too many runs.

 

[honeybadger]

5/64 Bishoo.

 

[Bilal7]

West Indies always raise their game against Australia. I really want to see a strong West Indian team again, after Pakistan manage to win their first test series in the Caribbean.

 

[Bilal7]

5/64 Bishoo.

LOL. Did no one notice how idiotic that statement from Wasim sounded? He's basically saying that the only people who want to buy that tablet are folks that never go outside their homes.

 

[Neferpitou]

hahahaha

 

[MarkCooper]

Voges better start going for it now, he is running out of partners!

 

[honeybadger]

Make it 6. Bish on fire.

 

[majiz]

WI need to restrict the lead to ~50, then just try and post some sort of score

 

[UpInTheAir]

Is there no Aussie commentator?

 

[#GreenRoars]

one hell of a bowling by Bishoo

 

[Neferpitou]

Bichoo needs to strike and he'll get a fifer. The rest of Aus's lineup are walking wickets against spin.

Said this yesterday. Pat on the back.

 

[honeybadger]

Waz should've known better. What is he doing sponsoring Dany tabs?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

40 run lead for OZ.

 

[Justcrazy]

Special innings by Voges here

 

[Justcrazy]

Need to get these two wickets quickly here.

 

[Justcrazy]

This lead will hurt WI

 

[Justcrazy]

Bishoo back on , can he get these two ?

 

[Smbhayi]

unlike Warner heroics in 4th innings Aussie will lose this match..

 

[Convict]

Gazza doing well here

 

[Justcrazy]

200 up

 

[Neferpitou]

unlike Warner heroics in 4th innings Aussie will lose this match..

Australia is slightly ahead. It'll be hard to get 250 for Windies on this pitch. There is no clear winner right now.

 

[Pantani]

Voges is playing a gem.

 

[honeybadger]

Hope Voges gets a ton here and Bishoo gets 8.

 

[Neferpitou]

This is poor captaincy from Ramdin. He should've took off Samuels long time ago. He's leaked too many runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

lead 60 runs now

 

[Neferpitou]

Voges has saved Australia from embarrassment.

 

[Convict]

Voges has been in ridiculous form since becoming Captain of Western Australia

 

[Convict]

Shot Gazza

 

[Neferpitou]

Brought him on too late. Samuels has leaked way too many runs.

 

[Sachin136]

Lyon gone now... They need one more 50 run partnership to have a good chance of winning by an innings.

 

[Pantani]

Brought him on too late. Samuels has leaked way too many runs.

Bishoo couldn't bowl because he went off the field for a few overs.

 

[Neferpitou]

Bishoo couldn't bowl because he went off the field for a few overs.

Should've brought on two pacers then. Even before that, he should've taken off Samuels after Starc was gone.

 

[Pantani]

The Australian tail has made the difference, once again.
