91.7mph from Lee, really pumped here
 
Good stuff, Lee is really sledging them, bowling at around 90mph, great test cricket :D
 
Oh my God - watch that

91.9mph

KILLS XAVIER, KILLS HIS HELMET!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW
 
What a vicious delivery by Lee ! ANd he crancks it up to 93.3 !
 
I dunno why people watch 20/20 and not tests, this stuff is gladiatorial !
 
Clarke bowls another tedious delivery

to be fair, he's keeping a decent line and length for about 2/3 of his deliveries, but he's bowling them at an infant's pace
 
Guys, just look at Lee's speed

Note to mr phaaaaast bowler who needs bodybuilding to bowl fast...

hear hear!
 
what a shot for FOUR by Xavier
 
Text book cover drive by Xavier !
 
By God what a shot by Sarawan, uppercut went for 6 !
 
Decimated Lee, really shot him to death with that shot, fantastic by sarwan
 
Lee bowling within himself - no doubt.

HAs antra 3-4 mph in him
 
Cozier mentioning Shahid Afridi!
 
Are Cozier / Bishop taking the 'P' out of Pak players ages???
 
Really boring over between Clark and Sarwan, terrible test cricket :(
 
HAHA, Tony Cozier making fun of Pakistani U19 players. :))

lol Adams was in stitches in the background
 
great delivery by lee, thick edge
 
Score's been stuck on 45 for ages!

As i type they take a single! :27: :27:
 
Mitch into the attack and immediately bowls a pie dispatched for 4.
 
another good catch at gully. Sarwan out ct Hussey off Clark
WL 64-3 after 11.1 overs @ 5.73
 
I get the feeling Windies are over-doing it a lil bit..whats needed is a calm partnership.Gayle just threw it away.Commentators aren't able to stop themselves from hyping the contest.
 
Johnson continues his spell. Has given 12, 4 and 9 runs in his 3 overs. But he is keeping pressure and showing intent

WI 79-3 after 15 overs @ 5.26

Johnson's struggles continue, unsure of what to bowl when he's not getting assistance from the deck. - cricinfo

The other pacers looked okay. How much help does he need. Even the clouds came and there was a light drizzle. But sunny now

Johnson's a hack. He needs to go back to domestic or county cricket to get his form and rhythm back. Surely someone else deserves an opportunity.
 
It would be very difficult for the Aussies to win this test with two bowlers probably three will Michael Clarke. Unless the Windies go collapso.

Yep, when Chanderpaul is scoring at over four an over, you know there's something wrong...
 
Lee hits Marshall on head. He looks okay. tried to hook it but missed
WI 44-3

after some attention Marshall gets another snorter

25.1 Symonds to Marshall, OUT, and Symonds makes the breakthrough! Right on line and forcing Marshall to play, he tries to work it through the leg side but clips it straight to Casson at midwicket.
XM Marshall c Casson b Symonds 39 (61b 6x4 0x6) SR: 63.93

I think they're just excited to see a pitch with pace and bounce. I know I am.
 
Here we have it. Beau Casson to bowl for the first time at international level. Left-arm wrist spinner. Sets his field with Ponting. What a moment for Casson.

Wii 130-4 after 33 overs

Why can't we get Chanderpaul out?
Click to expand...
Going by numbers it seems like no one is able to get him out these days.
 
How has that Casson guy bowled so far? His figures don't look impressive.
 
Geez MJ going for 7rpo!

Though as I speak he gets rid of Bravo. WI 5 down for 168
 
This inability to dismiss Chanders is a concern.
 
2nd over after tea and Bravo out

44.3 Johnson to Bravo, OUT, and Johnson gets a much-needed wicket! It's a leg-side catch behind, Johnson gave Bravo one on his hips and an attempted glance ran through to Haddin. Mark Benson raises the finger for this one, more confident that it had hit the bat than for a similar one when Symonds was batting yesterday
DJ Bravo c Haddin b Johnson 29 (86m 57b 4x4 1x6) SR: 50.87

WI 168-5
 
Chanderpaul 50 :109:

not much spin for Casson and he is going for runs. 3 fours and six by Chanders this over and races to 66. Casson 7 overs for 43 runs

Casson getting pwned at the moment

What a super over from Chanderpaul, really knocks Casson's confidence down a peg
45.6 Casson to Chanderpaul, FOUR, and a cracking cover-drive to finish the over, Casson bowls it a touch too wide and full and it races away for four
45.5 Casson to Chanderpaul, SIX, there's something you don't see in every Chanderpaul innings, he's just planted the front foot down the pitch and slogged Casson straight back over his head for six
45.4 Casson to Chanderpaul, no run, cuts straight to Johnson at backward point
45.3 Casson to Chanderpaul, no run, defended this time
45.2 Casson to Chanderpaul, FOUR, good shot from Chanderpaul, clips it through midwicket for four
45.1 Casson to Chanderpaul, FOUR, and that's a comedy of errors that brings Chanderpaul his fifty. Casson got some extra bounce, an uppishly played cut flew behind backward point where Johnson was totally wrong-footed, then he chased and between them, Johnson and Katich on the boundary managed to fumble it over the rope
 
Ramdin out

48.1 Johnson to Ramdin, OUT, magnificent catch! Johnson angles it across Ramdin, who tries to guide it down between slips and gully. The ball bounced a bit more than Ramdin expected and ha battled to keep it down, Clarke at gully dived forward and to his left to snare a super catch
D Ramdin c Clarke b Johnson 1 (12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 8.33

WI 188-6 after 48.1 overs - trail by 63
 
Taylor gets hit in chest by Johnson
Next ball Taylor dropped by Katich at first slip. regulation catch
 
48.3 Johnson to Taylor, no run, and that's dropped! Great bowling from Johnson, follows the bouncer with one angled across Taylor, who edges a straightforward chance to Katich at first slip. Not the first one he's put down in that spot this series

Johnson gets encouragement by Lee and Ponting
188-6 after 49 overs - trail by 63
overs left today 37

almost a runout of Taylor

49.5 Clarke to Taylor, no run, flatter ball this time, Taylor works it behind point and what's this? He took off for a run and basically strolled back to the striker's end, the throw was helped onto the stumps from Haddin and the third umpire is called for. Taylor just back, but that was a touch lazy

and next ball taylor is ct off Clarke
WI 189-7
 
Benn dropped by Katich of Johnson. another regulation simple catch
WI 190-7
 
LOL, Katich drops two catches !
 
Yep, I'm a convert to OZGOD's cause now...OZGOD was right about this guy all along!
