Australia tour of West Indies

[aditya123]

West Indies living by the sword and dying by it here.
All the batsmen have got out playing their strokes. They`ve got tied down in the last few minutes here.

Casson looks undernourished. Someone feed him some supplements !

Its amazing what a night sleep can do for a man, Benson was blinded and deaf yesterday when Symonds was batting, but today he is fresh and alert. Fortunate for the Aussies.

Wow Johnson bowls a maiden, what a ting.

 

[Dare]

yea and he gets Ramdin too, I really like Ramdin as a keeper I think he is one of the better ones around but his batting is just horrendous. Bravo also needs to start making his good starts into big 50s.

lol Casson and Johnson (it even rhythms too), we cannot help but love them, these guys are like Timex, they take their licking and they keep on ticking, well in this case bowling.

In relations to Ramdin, you mean better ones in the West Indies!!! Short of that he seems to be ranked the same way we (West Indies) are in test as compare to his counterparts around the world. His batting and glove work can be, at times to erratic, I mean this is just the second day, play defence when need be and score when you can. Some guys on both sides plays like they are still in the IPL, sadly Ramdin was never there at all.

I mean his glove work is good and can be ranked along some other WK currently playing tests but his batting is really weak. maybe we need to try Browne in Tests or someone younger from the Under 19 team perhaps.

How did Casson make the Australian team? Seriously. His domestic record is pretty poor. I havn't seen him bowl, but there must be someone better somewhere.

 

[Dare]

its sucks that once you get by Bravo it takes about 40 balls to take out the other 5 batsman. The least experienced player on the team (marshall) is the one that stayed at the crease the longest after Chanders. WI will have to look at making some changes to the batting order in the 2nd innings. Maybe move Chanders up the order, Gayle down to #6 and open with Chattergoon and Marshall.

The only guy better than him is McGain who is 35. Other than that we have jack all. He had a good back end to domestic season, finishing with a similar average to McGain of 35ish.

i didnt think id see the day when australias biggest problem was having a lack of decent spinners!

Hey maybe here in the Caribbean Ramdin glove work is best: But step out there and you have Sangakkara, Mc Cullum, Boucher, Dhoni, Akmal our boy eh there yet, and trust me this is hard for me to say, but from watching him and the others its the truth, compounding that is his poor batting and shot selection. I sometimes believe that our players are rather flatering at times to the opposition, "pitch it short I bet I can hook you", and too often they get caught, doing it, today was a day to play rather defensive, and wait to punish Johnson and Casson, because we knew they would eventually come on and instead guys went 20-20 style from over 1 and got out and Ramdin is as guilty as the others, excluding Chanders.

Akmal is nowhere near the keeper that Ramdin is, Akmal might be a better batsman but his work behind the stumps over the last 2 years has been some of the worst in test cricket.
And you cant fault Marshall, he played his innings better than all of the more experienced player in the squad.

His recent form has been phenominal.

They didn't pick this kid over his career in first class cricket, but of recent form seems we are in a drought of good spinners.

chanderpaul not out for a third time ina row but i think he should have taken more chances while batting with the tail,he exposed the tail far too much.

 

[TC Ink]

NOOO!!! How could you give Johnson 4 wickets :crying

I switched off after his first 3 overs thinking, Yay this is the end of his test career. I wake up to 4 wickets! Still, only one of them was key, and Bing and Clark did all the hard work up the order.

Chanderpauls amazing, through all that he stays not out again
