West Indies in Australia

[aussie1st]

Hinds experience will help out Devon.
As for Gayle its better to be safe than sorry. Hopefully this means he won't have the heart problem again.

 

[jdbais]

I can't see Hinds putting up much of a fight to be honest. He will be knocked over very early in both innings. I hope he proves me wrong though.

 

[aussie1st]

Last time Hinds came here he did very well. I haven't really followed him since but wasn't he pushed down the order?

 

[angryangy]

Yeah he went to no. 6/7, not sure if that's the best for him. I'd like to see him get more runs, he is more capable than his average, like most of the Windies lineup.

 

[aussie1st]

He is fresh and hasn't been scarred this tour compared to the others. So who knows he may do well. He definitely won't bat down the order. He surely will replace Gayle.

 

[ashu2411]

Hinds need to open. He is a good batsmen.

 

[aussie1st]

He will, who else would open for WI? No point in making a make shift opener when Hinds has tons of experience.

Lovin this interview with Langer. Hes come back to save Aus - from the terrible bus driving.
Now hes saying he wanted to push Hussey down the stairs :laugh

 

[Jarryd]

Brian Lara is going to score a century in this test match.

 

[aussie1st]

If Lee doesn't get him first. He is on fire right now. Not over straining in his run up but still getting 150km/h. He is looking more and more like the test bowler now.

 

[Sando]

Lara gets one back, trapped in front offering no shot to Symonds, Dar unmoved. Lara deserves his luck no question, but poor old Symonds just can't catch a break in the Test match arena.

 

[kodos]

sarwan gone. Pretty ordinary hook shot. Should of just ducked under it. Hope Lara makes a big innings and he needs some luck going his way.

 

[aussie1st]

Commentators are saying it was out, hawkeye says too high and Mark Nicholos saying it pitched 2/3 outside leg stump. Umpire said it was going down leg side.

Very ordinary stuff by Sarwan but this is what he has done all series long. Get a good start then gets out.

 

[ashu2411]

WI in trouble early on.

Holding and Chappell saying not out. It quite clearly pitched outside leg. Benefit of the doubt has to go to the batsman.
