Australia v West Indies | 1st ODI | Perth | 1/2/13

[Gotham Cronie]

The tourists will get the first chance to bat after winning the toss.

 

[Inswinger]

Jason Holder will be making his debut. he looked like a great prospect at the U-19 level. Let's see what he can do on the big stage.

On a side note; Anyone know why Jerome Taylor is being kept out of the Windies side? WICB has had issues with Gayle, Sarwan, and Taylor. The first 2 are back but Taylor is still out. WICB keep dropping the axe on their own toes.

 

[Justcrazy]

Why is Ramdin dropped ?

 

[Justcrazy]

3 / 0 after 1 over

 

[Justcrazy]

Starc is right on money here.

 

[Square Drive]

Expect WI to fall under 200.

 

[Justcrazy]

maiden by starc.

Gayle gone

 

[Justcrazy]

19 / 2

WI likely to be out within 200

 

[cricketworm]

Starc just bowled Wasimasque's ball!

What a ripper!

 

[cricketworm]

I think I have just become a fan of Starc!

Sarwan

 

[Saqs]

Lol.

3/19 without my main man Marlon.

 

[Saqs]

3 wickets in 6 deliveries.

 

[MarkCooper]

Calapso cricket, mon!

 

[Convict]

Starc bowling well

[cricketworm]

brilliant bowling! We will be happy to win one test if Starc bowl like this.

 

[Justcrazy]

19 / 5

 

[Justcrazy]

Can WI get 100 ?

 

[Justcrazy]

This can be embarrassment for WI here. I think they should continue with Starc.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Can WI get 100 ?

They will not get to 50.

 

[Convict]

I was actually going to go to this match after work.

Not anymore I guess

We get them on Sunday again as well.

[Random Aussie]

We get them on Sunday again as well.

Better get up early then

 

[Random Aussie]

I rate Faulkner as a prospect, only 22, got some pace and has a bowling brain.

 

[Square Drive]

What did I say?

Even 75 looks difficult now.

[Convict]

Johnson to come...

 

[Justcrazy]

WI team selection is poor.

 

[Justcrazy]

WI have too many same kind of all rounders, lack of variation.

 

[Justcrazy]

7 down now.

 

[Random Aussie]

Faulkner gets another. What's the WI lowest ODI score?

 

[Justcrazy]

Kumaran: "Not long ago Aussies were 9/40 and eventually all out for 74 then almost won the match against SL."

Cricinfo

 

[Gotham Cronie]

James Faulkner, welcome to international cricket! Figures of 2-6 after 1.5 overs on his ODI debut! WI 39/7 now.

 

[MarkCooper]

54 is WI lowest ever score

 

[Justcrazy]

Sammy can score some runs here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sammy has to take most of the strikes here.

 

[Justcrazy]

42 / 7

15 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

This will not be competitive score even for a 20 20

 

[Aman]

This is what happens when you play sloggers instead of batsmen.

 

[Random Aussie]

At the risk of making the Gillybot come into this thread and flame me, CA have to cop some blame for this.

Why you would schedule a touring team first game on the WACA wicket is beyond me. The pace and bounce are so exaggerated compared to other grounds.

One sided game this one.

Especially after a warm up in Canberra...

Perth's the other side of the continent from the rest of Australia.

26 runs partnership.

WI need to look out bat out max overs here

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[Justcrazy]

68 / 8

 

[Gotham Cronie]

The end is coming nearer and nearer for the West Indies' innings. 68/8 after 22 overs. 17 of those 68 are from extras. #AUSvWI

 

[Justcrazy]

68 / 9

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor performance , should have got at least 230 here. People who paid for tickets would be disappointed.

 

[Justcrazy]

71 is the target

 

[Justcrazy]

Starc 5 for 20

this lad has a great potential with both bat and ball.

 

[Convict]

I expect Australia to win by 4-6 wickets.

 

[battler]

Seriously what has batsmanship come to these days?on any wicket that has bounce or something in it for pacers,the batsmen collapse like a pack of cards.can't bat to save their lives these batsmen!

All the batsmen were batting too far in their crease for Perth.

Expect Australia to struggle as well provided the Windies don't give up. Don't rate New South Welshmen in Perth.

 

[Aman]

Lol open with Maxwell idiots... Khawaja needs some sort of international exposure he might get some proper exposure by the time hes 30.

I wasn't speaking specifically of today's game but in general like aus capitulation in Sydney,sl making it look hard to get 75, New Zealand's shocker against the staffers and up until recent England's troubles against spin and not to forget india's famous collapses against seam and swing
I mean the bowlers these days are nowhere near the class of bowlers of the 80's or 90's but these guys just make them look like legends!!

 

[Convict]

He'll get plenty in the tests.

 

[bigdaddymiandad]

Starc is the real deal to me this kid has serious talent and also has some mongrel in him his problem at the moment is inconsistency but when he's having a good day he can be devastating with good pace, good yorkers and that lethal inswing he gets to the righthanded batsman. Pattinson is another gun cant wait to see him back and bowling in tandem with Starc these two are the fast bowling future for Aus. Patto is better in test cricket atm and Starc is a better limited overs bowler Cummins is overrated imo he might be another Shane Bond who takes a break from injuries to play cricket.

 

[Aman]

I doubt it the selectors will play Maxwell, Henrequies or Smith over him just watch.

Then destroys teams? Whats the difference between the aussie pace attack and Bond? They both have breaks every 2 games any way so there's no real difference...

No they won't

Just checked the score. DAMN!!!

I mean no disrespect to Shane Bond he was a fabulous bowler when he was fit and on song all iam doing is comparing Pat Cummins fitness to Bond's and you cant deny that Bond simply struggled to be fit which was a shame considering the talent he had.

Pathetic from the Windies. After the T20 WC I had hope for them, but they remain an embarrassment to their legacy.

OMG... just checked the score card ...This WI team is very much similar to Pakistan team...pretty much unpredictable...anyways well done to starc

Btw, why is a year old commentary thread still active?

 

[iHammad]

Good cricket from Aus, showing why they are the #3 side in ODI cricket

 

[bigdaddymiandad]

Mitch Starc ripped through the Windies batting just like Kulasekara carved open the Aussie batsmen in Brisbane a few weeks earlier when the Aussies were on the recieving end. Brilliance from Starc shades of dare i say it Wasim in that spell and some ridiculous unorthodox batting from Maxwell.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

No idea what you're talking about

 

[MenInG]

If this was Aus v Pakistan then we would have a few fixing threads in progress here!

 

[mastermind_quad]

what a thumping win for Aussies I saw the Starc spell he was awesome much like Juniad's 1st spell in India...
