West Indies Tour of Australia 2010

[drainpipe32]

Apart from in the WT20, is this the most successive T20Is a country has played?

 

[drainpipe32]

Opening with a spinner. He'll either take two wickets, or get mauled.

 

[aussie1st]

Clarke wins the toss, Marsh not playing. I like this tactic by Gayle opening with Deonarine.
Would have loved to have seen Christian in the side to add some power hitting down the order and bowling.

 

[drainpipe32]

At the expense of Birt, or one of the quicks?

 

[aussie1st]

Birt, way too crazy going into a match with Christian and Smith as front line bowlers. Not to mention I hate having 2 specialist bowlers.

 

[Iridium]

Spin from both ends. Interesting.

Where is Marsh anyway? I heard he was injured? Is he still?

 

[drainpipe32]

I told AJ the same thing

Gosh, Warner is uber talented. He just taps them and they fly through gaps.

Gazza added 0 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

Where is Marsh anyway? I heard he was injured? Is he still?

Yeah, he's injured. Not really part of the T20 make up any more anyway.

 

[SciD]

2 overs from spinners are enough for surprise. Now its time to pay for it.

 

[aussie1st]

Warner makes it look easy then smacks the ball out of the ground
These spinners will want to be accurate else its going.

 

[drainpipe32]

Ah, what a talent.

Gazza added 2 Minutes and 26 Seconds later...

Punter's on commentary

Gazza added 0 Minutes and 26 Seconds later...

That one got fliped.

 

[aussie1st]

Geez what a destructive partnership these two are forming. Watson matching Warner with the big hits!

aussie1st added 3 Minutes and 54 Seconds later...

Dam Watson again out after a cracking start, wish he would go on to make a biggie but still more than did the job. This is the big test for Clarke, will he stall our momentum or can he rotate the strike.

 

[drainpipe32]

Watson and Gayle opening partnership. Win

 

[Iridium]

Oh dear it's all gone pear shaped for WI. Watson going bonkers. Great start. Here's to a huge total.

 

[drainpipe32]

This is the big test for Clarke, will he stall our momentum or can he rotate the strike.

Was thinking about that the ball before the wicket. It'd be better if we sent White or Hussey in at 3, after a good start.

Gazza added 1 Minutes and 43 Seconds later...

And the whole world groans!

Dang it, he was looking lethal!

Expect a sluggish 5 overs now.

 

[aussie1st]

Dam Warner was looking so good too, was picking the right balls to hit but was too fancy with that last one.

David Hussey sent in, the fun should continue once he gets set.
