West Indies tour of Australia, November-December 2009

I was just thinking the same, bring on Roach and Bravo for these 2 and see if they can do anything.

Well, here he is! Never seen him bowl so looking forward to it.

That is a pretty impressive shot from a bowler, some batsmen wouldn't mind a shot like that.

Edit: And hes out now.

Good change by Gayle, Roach gets him a wickets in his 1st over back. I would have also brought back Bravo, Benny seems to be tired and that injury to his knee seems to be bothering him.

Well, here he is! Never seen him bowl so looking forward to it.

so what do you think?

Edit: Well proved me wrong, congrats to Benn on his 1st 5.

 

[Howsie]

5fer for Big Ben, good stuff. He's bowled really well today.

 

[aussie1st]

Well deserved for Benn, hes got WI back into the match.

 

[Ollie_H]

Pretty Impressed with Roach, his run up looks un complicated and it looks as if there shouldn't be as much stress on his body. Seems to generate most of his pace through a strong delivery stride. His run up reminds me of Simon Jones, doesn't boom in, almost jogs in and generates pace in the delivery stride and a strong pull through of the leading arm. Good find.

 

[Dare]

Dont like that he is coming round the wicket to the lefties. Needs to come over the wicket and get the angle across the lefties. And his bowling actions takes him to the middles of the pitch.

 

[aussie1st]

Haddin is giving Bollinger a workout here, two 2s. Bollinger did play a decent slog sweep against Benn.

 

[Howsie]

Is it really that hard to get Haddin of strike

 

[aussie1st]

That was a waste, could have had some more fun with Haddin's batting and its always good seeing a bunny in action.

Hmm, a little disappointing, but the West Indies probably bowled more consistently than Australia did. Considering the run rates today, I don't think I'd have been keen on getting a 100 run lead after lunch tomorrow; a slight deficit and a chance to get an early wicket on day 3 is not such a bad thing.

 

[Howsie]

Or a quick 20 odd from Gayle

So what would the Windies be looking at tommorow, 280-300 run lead if possible? Benn should be a handfull on a 5th day track.

 

[Ollie_H]

West Indies for a 50 run lead come the close?

 

[CG123]

Come on the West Indies, great effort by Nash and Bravo with the bat, as well as Benn and Roach with the ball.

 

[Harishan]

Very good bowling from the Windies to restrict Australia from getting a lead though the match is still in even balance. The pressure is now on the Windies to bat well here and score a good total. I'm hoping to see some good batting from Chris Gayle this innings as he did look very promising in the first innings but was unable to keep on going and when gets going he is very dangerous and is electrifying to watch.
