West Indies v Australia | 2nd Test | Antigua | 30/5/08 to 03/6/08

[OZGOD]

And that's stumps - 4/255, Shiv on 55 and Bravo 29.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

auss still have the advantage.....a lead of 100 min...might be able to force a result

 

[Oxy]

MacGill always looked a bit on the chubby side to me...

 

[Oxy]

Meanwhile, in Trinidad a full house watch a friendly football match!

T&T 0 3 England

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Solid performance from WI! Shiv is their new lara

yes so far so good, would like to see both get hundreds, as well as ramdin getting 50 minimum

 

[MalikBrother]

Let's hope people may show interest on this series and stream this series. I couldn't watch this series live inspite of not watching IPL. Sadly, i couldn't find the links or perhap no one was interested in this series. So had to wait for highlight to watch. It's not enjoyable to watch Test matches in Highlight
Screw IPL fans for making me miserable

Just Kidding !

 

[Random Aussie]

Draw looks likely unless the Windies collapse

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I want WI to storm back in the game and some how score a famous victory

Hardly likely with this KILL THE BOWLERS PITCH
This dead pitch really is sickening. cant see y people go ahead and prepare those types of pitches....ideal for odis.

Maybe they should have another sporting one for test cricket.

they should fine the ground staff and officals world wide for producing these types of pitches

 

[OZGOD]

This is looking like a draw for sure. There won't be any time for either side to bowl the other out again.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Yes, links are back to normal after the IPL finishing. Can watch some proper stuff now.

Symonds and Clarke bowling tight.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Lee reversing it a bit, ball is over 90 overs old.

 

[cars112]

Bravo gone

 

[TruSachFan]

bravo gone

only 5 more wkts for aussies stil around 68 ovs in the day
aussie win still possible

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Hit the thigh pad. Even i could tell that!

 

[TruSachFan]

damn lee on a hattrick

 

[cars112]

Ramdin gone

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Is this umpire an Australian or what?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

95.5 Lee to Ramdin, OUT, big inswinger, comes in late, as it pitches outside off and hits him low on the front shin, bringing the bat down late. He was struck outside the off stump there as he was playing a shot
D Ramdin lbw b Lee 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
95.4 Lee to Bravo, OUT, got him! Lee has broken through with the old ball! A straight one, a touch short, and the batsman is keen to tuck it off the legs with a would-be fine glance, but the umpire rules he's brushed either glove or bat on it and Haddin pouches the catch. There's some doubt about whether that came off his thigh pad and certainly Bravo was very disappointed

Both decisions were wrong!

 

[cars112]

Sammy gone

 

[TruSachFan]

lee on fire

bloody RUSSEL THIEFING STRIKES AGAIN......he should be fined

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

This is a great spell of bowling from Lee - but has not done anything to deserve the 3 wickets.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

lee on fire
another inswingerr

correction Vampire RUSSEL Thiefing is on fire...bowling an excellent line and length

 

[OZGOD]

This is a great spell of bowling from Lee - but has not done anything to deserve the 3 wickets.

The way I would look at it - he's probably bowled well enough to deserve three wickets, but they probably shouldn't have been given if you use the benefit of the doubt rule.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

I always wonder how come the VAMPIRES ALWAYS ERR IN australias favour?

 

[cars112]

The way I would look at it - he's probably bowled well enough to deserve three wickets, but they probably shouldn't have been given if you use the benefit of the doubt rule.

Plenty of bowlers bowl well enough to deserve bags of wickets, that doesn't mean they should get wickets given when batsmen aren't out.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

This isn't right!!

Lee to Sammy, OUT, a huge shout from Lee and he knows he's struck, the reverse swing doing the damage again as Lee pitches that one outside off and the batsman comes forward, the ball hitting him just outside as he was playing a shot

 

[TruSachFan]

that over had everything
bad decisions
mean bouncer
reverse swing and inswingers over 90 mph

thanxx for the entertainment LEE

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

The way I would look at it - he's probably bowled well enough to deserve three wickets, but they probably shouldn't have been given if you use the benefit of the doubt rule.

Yup, no doubt he has bowled well in matches where he didnt get the wickets. So it most likely evens out.


Still, crap decisions!!

And it changes the context of the game now - Aus could grab a win if the remaining wickets fall quickly.

 

[OZGOD]

Plenty of bowlers bowl well enough to deserve bags of wickets, that doesn't mean they should get wickets given when batsmen aren't out.

That's why I said it shouldn't have been given.

 

[TruSachFan]

how many games has this umpire been in? This is the first time I heard his name in this series.

 

[the Great Khan]

has Lee got a bottle cap in his pocket by any chance??

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

its not behefit of the doubt...ITS BLATANT CHEATING

 

[cars112]

has Lee got a bottle cap in his pocket by any chance??

No way mate! Let's not ever question anyone other than Pakistani of such a thing, I mean who else is capable of it?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

how many games has this umpire been in? This is the first time I heard his name in this series.

He use to be a regular.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Regardless,

How good is Test cricket! Only watched about half-an hour so far and lots of talking points already!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]
