Australia tour of West Indies

[TC Ink]

I reckon it would be worth a try for Bollinger, even if he hasnt had OD form, I mean he surely he will do better than the man he replaces...

But remember theres Clark ahead of Bollinger as well, we will go in with 3 main quicks, Lee and Bracken are certainties while Johnson or Clark fills up the other spot. Perhaps if we wrap up the series early there will be some experimenting in the latter games. (Not getting cocky and saying we will win easy, I think it could go down to the wire).

people say you cant tell if someone is good in T20, but in E11 deffinantly you can take nothing out of this

 

[aussie1st]

Our problem is with the squad, I don't think they will fly anyone else over before the series end unless injury strikes. So we are left with White as the main spinner and Johnson/Clark to fill in the 3rd spot. We needed to try something different before the Champions trophy because I suspect our bowler will be exposed yet again come crunch time.

We are in big trouble. White as our main spinner just underlines this.

Blessings to the WIndies winning the 20-20, I hope Devon Smith was home looking on how a man opening should go about it X, has marked his spot, big up dread, great win and greater boost for us, frankly I would give this team an ODI as is, minus Ramdin.
But guys, Gilly..., aussie1st and others, relax, this is just a 20-20played @ 11 overs, the rest and best is yet to come, the ODIs, I do pray to Jah that Ponting keep Johnson going and Lee looked drained today, lest hope they remain the same, no offense, no hard feelings brothers, one love. Blessings all the time!!

Why isn't Casson here? He has an average of 28.

He cant get a spot in the NSW OD side, whats his economy?

Cant believe i missed this game. I thought it was over...no match when the rain was on. But good job to the Aussies for posting a massive target. Nice batting by Marshall who is a gift out of nowhere for us.

 

[aussie1st]

If we wanted a spinner I would have tried, Dothery, had a decent season and did well in the FRC final. Our other form spinner would have been McGain, not much after him. Should have at least got one of those two on tour as we all know White is a part timer.

 

[Howsie]

I see Johnson got smashed around again, will he get into the ODI team still.

I wouldn't say that. People have been saying that he is one of the better young players in the Caribbean, he had great batting potential and he was good in the field its just that he had behavior issues.
I don't want to sound like know it all but I have been saying that he (along with a couple of other batsman) should replace Marlon Samuels even before Samuels was suspended. He has a good assortment of shots and as you can see he is not afraid to take on some of the best bowlers in the world. During the 2nd test in his second innings he got a really good delivery from Clark but its his batting against spin that he has to improve, he hasn't really looked comfortable against the spinners but I am sure that he will improve on that.

As for Roach I have never seen him play before today and he surprised me with the pace that he generates from such a short run up. His run up and delivery sort of looks like that of Maharoof but he generates far more pace and he is only 19 years old. I could see him as the 3rd pace option behind Taylor and Edwards and that would give the West Indies a good pace attack, unless someone new comes out and ends up performing really good in domestic cricket Roach is the future.

How fast does he bowl?

 

[Dare]

How fast does he bowl?

the quickest i saw him bowl today was 89.2 mph which for a guy his age and from the run up that he uses is not bad at all.

 

[Howsie]

Good to see the West Indies playing well, I know it was only 11 overs but it still should give them abit of confindence. I'm also pleased to see Xavier Marshall playing well in the test matches and now the 11/11. I hope he can reach his potential and become a real foce. And I saw KA Pollard on the batting list, that was the kid in the under 19 world cup right? He really impressed me from the games I saw, he looked like a young Chris Gayle.
