West Indies in Australia

Should be swing which would help Bracken. Variable bounce should help Lee and McGrath. And Warne goes well on the Gabba.

The most prominent pitch effect is the ball hitting the seam, particularly Collymore. It's really quite large and somewhat disturbing for a day 1 pitch.

Whatever he can do McGrath will double

Plum on, Bracken is a very similar bowler to Collymore so WI better hope all that seam movement was a one of, which is highly unlikely.

If the Aussie batsmen hold out till lunch I am sure Australia will be over 400 runs.

I've got a feeling that McGrath will get a lot of wickets in this match.

Collymore is a very similar bowler to McGrath not Bracken so McGrath is the danger man. If there is no swing I feel Bracken will be useless. Having said that I think Australia should give the new ball to Bracken as Gayle has a weakness against left arm bowlers. Zaheer Khan and Chaminda Vaas have really troubled Gayle in the past.

Bracken is similar to McGrath but he can swing it. Bracken is tall and accurate. He was touted as the next McGrath a few years ago.

We will just have to wait and see.

 

[aussie1st]

You maybe waiting for sometime. Reports are that Brisbane is pouring down with rain.

 

[jdbais]

Just checked the radar and it looks absolutely fine at the moment.

 

[aussie1st]

Coverage is on, very overcast. Still damp pitch.

 

[ajay2k5]

I just checked the weather forecast and satelite pictures

Brisbane is suppose to have storms and rain until Thursday, so I don't think this Test will finish. GOD I hate rain, it really pisses me off.

OMG, I just found out Warne averages 37 with the bat at the Gabba in Test Match Cricket. Nearly better than Clarke and Katich.

 

[aussie1st]

Who needs an all rounder part 3. Bracken looking quite good now.

Yeah, swinging and hoping does the trick.

 

[aussie1st]

The lower order is doing as well if not better than Watson. Watson is a middle order batsmen. If he ain't going to be used there no point for him.

Stop being so Hypercritical and give Watson a bit more of a chance, he has only just entered into Test Cricket.

OMG, see that, a slightly mistimed shot lobbed up over in field, landed 15 yards inside rope and the windies all starred at each other, they ran 4. lol
