Benn to miss two ODIs. Johnson and Haddin receive fines.

Feel sorry for Benn. 25% for Haddin, who initiated the clash & 10% for Johnson, who got physical and pushed Benn away is a bit of a sham. I feel disappointed with this. But there is a thing called karma, which takes care of stuff.

There is also a thing called whinging, which annoys everyone else.

Benn definitely came down the pitch for the sole purpose of physical intimidation. I would have thought that Johnson was guilty of a L2 by the Code for pushing him away, but perhaps they were only looking at it in terms of provocation. In any case, a 2 point suspension is the maximum penalty for L2; it could probably been avoided by offering a guilty plea.

Bollinger Its a miracle, Johnson economy is under 6

Good batting so far by Nash, he certainly has come along nicely for WI and looks to have the goods to stay at the level for a while.

Hmm. Like you said, Mitch could(imo, should) have been booked under L2 for pushing Benn away. Like people had said before, this is not a physical sport and anyone trying to turn it into one should be dealt with harshly. Benn must have thought of physical intimidation, Johnson got physical. Huge difference! But well, Broad's the boss. Benn would've certainly apologized had he been blatantly and single-handedly responsible for this. But like Chris Gayle said, people on telly saw that Benn didn't initiate anything.

A wonderful match turned sour by some stupid incidents :doh

Bollinger continues to impress, he's bowled really well in the last two games.

 

[aussie1st]

There is the true leader of the pack.

Oh no Pup drops another one.

WI just shouldn't take breaks. Keep losing too many wickets after they take lunch/tea.

Ramdin better score some runs, other then the 50 in the 1st test he hasn't done much.

Good batting so far by Nash, he certainly has come along nicely for WI and looks to have the goods to stay at the level for a while.

A big difference from some of the batsman that played from the turn of the century. He has a fighting spirit about him and doesn't mind being defensive to give his team a better chance.

Of course as I say that he gets out. Will the Aussies enforce the follow on or will they go for some quick runs.

 

[aussie1st]

Hauritz has bowled really well to Nash, and Clarke takes the ripper.

Blast, was really hoping Nash gets the big one here, hopefully he can in the 2nd innings. Bloody impressive how he has managed to suceed after such a dramatic shift to the Windies. It can't have been easy for him when he was working up the domestic ladder in Jamaica.

 

[CricketPunk]

Dougie is on fire here, almost had another catch and lbw.

 

[aussie1st]

Lol Ponting you should have listened to Doug! Great ball and according to technology it would have been given.

 

[McLOVIN]

i just checked the score 2 min ago, downloaded 2 songs, posted 2 posts. went back to crapinfo, and they lost 2 more.

how much more do they have to score to avoid the follow-on?
