West Indies tour of Australia, November-December 2009

[Dare]

disappointing that the tailenders couldn't stick around with Dowlin. Or the fact that only Ramdin and Benn offered some support, Ramdin was playing good but in a situation like this should have stuck around.

Impressed with Dowlins resistance of the Aussies. He started of a bit shaky but turned it around and has a good 50 to his name against a quality Aussie attack.
Not sure who gets dropped if Sarwan is fit for the next match.

Hauritz you beauty, took out the whole lower order, although it wasn't hard, meh
Follow on coming up, probably

Finally hauritz gets the settled bastman, WI all out on 228...lets see if Ponting enforces follow-on..

 

[aussie1st]

Nicely done by Hauritz, that will decrease the pressure on his position.

I can't believe he has enforced the follow on, if they get bowled out with a lead of 150 they are a chance since we have an awful record of chasing low totals. Should have batted until lunch tomorrow and scored a quick 300 odd and leave them the impossible task of a 500 + chase or surviving a day and a half and the Windies don't have the temperment for that.

It will probably pay off but I still don't like it.

I can't believe he has enforced the follow on.

why not?

West Indies will need to make 500+ to even stand a chance of wining the test. We both now that has little chance of happening. Worst case scenario for the Aussies is chasing something like 150+ with 2 days to go.

Ponting finally grew so balls and used the follow-on.

yea but that was against India in India, on wickets that spin and Harbhajan having the time of his life.
And the other was against South Africa with Donald and de Villiers.

WI best bowler is down and out and I cant see the rest bundling the Aussies out as much as I would like them to.

 

[nikhil_99]

Aus might even win by an inngs...

 

[MaD]

Haus is swinging really well

 

[angryangy]

Oh dear.

 

[aussie1st]

OMFG, Gayle is reviewing again. Didn't even offer a shot, so I don't know why he would do that. Onya Hilfy!

 

[MaD]

Yes! I knew he'd get him! Beautiful line, nice speed and swing, direct LB :hpraise

 

[aussie1st]

Hes definitely getting some nice shape now, perfect line and length.
