riiighhtt thenIt's become a bit like Garcia's with some cricket thrown in between
getting back to cricket
2 early wickets for the windies today
good 'period' of play for them then
I said this was gonna be a draw but the Windies are looking well placed here.
Aussies in all sorts of trouble here, 329-9 and the Windies have a 120 lead.
The problem is it's day 4, they need to score quickly and get a lead of around 250/300 and try to bowl them out tomorrow.
Wow how the hell did that happen, Aussies are 406-9 dec. And Windies 4-2.....
4/3 now. Hilfenhaus with 3 wickets from 2 runs. Incredible.Wow how the hell did that happen, Aussies are 406-9 dec. And Windies 4-2.....
Yeah just saw, if this is how they stand up to pressure then they are gonna be smashed in England with the way our bowling attack is.
No prisoners, no let up. A superb bowling attack.
Hopefully Australia can keep up a decent run of form in tests and we'll be able to give you a run for your money in the next ashes.
Yeah I would like a competitive Ashes series for once....Hopefully Australia can keep up a decent run of form in tests and we'll be able to give you a run for your money in the next ashes
Kidding, let's hope so!
Harris, Hilfenhaus & Lyon - 9, 10 & 11 - scored 132 runs! Windies now lead by 114 runs with just 5 wickets remaining.Wow how the hell did that happen, Aussies are 406-9 dec. And Windies 4-2.....The aussies will roll them out quickly tomorrow no problem, and take a 1-0 lead.
Bang goes my prediction of a West Indian series win.
No thank you! I had twenty years of seeing total aussie domination in the Ashes, so i'd be perfectly happy to see Australia struggle for a wee bit longer yet, ideally, say about 10/15 years longer!Hopefully Australia can keep up a decent run of form in tests and we'll be able to give you a run for your money in the next ashes
Wow what a remarkable **** up from the West Indies.
I reckon from here the Aussies will win, but if they can put up some resistance and sneak to 200+ they may well be able to save this and even win.
How is the pitch playing? Many cracks? I imagine it would be due to the amount of wickets.
The wicket is quite slow, and is starting to go up and down, but i can't see the Windies getting into a position to win this now. This afternoon they should've been looking at a lead of at least 150 and trying to set the aussies about 280-330 to win on the last day. I can't see them putting on enough runs, say a lead of 220-250, with the wickets they've got left, to really trouble Australia. A shame as they'd played some decent stuff this match.
The batters are going to get smashed in England if this is anything to go by then.
I concur..though we got our asses handed to us by them not long ago..well, they'll have to come to India at some point in time anywayNo thank you!

Windies:fp:
So looks like the West indies have dug deep and scrounged a drawing position out of a winning position.
I do not fear this 3 match series coming up next month.

australia to chase 192

On the evidence of this loss, they are going to show up to be destroyed.
if the pitches are even sligthly lively they will be
Interesting.
I have only just realised the IPL is 20/20 (thought it was 50 over as well).
Not sure how this is going to help acclimatize to the subcontinent conditions due to the hit out or get out format of 20/20.

Probably because it's on ITV3 all day, I thought it was 50 overs too until I flicked onto it and realisedInteresting.

I'm actually shocked that you'd freely confess to this facepalm moment!!Interesting.

Like I said, the IPL gets next to no coverage here apart from what they show on ITV3. Not many people here actually care that it exists really.a
he isn't the only one apparently
is that not a popular channel?
I don't know why it's a facepalm moment, I have said numerous times I only follow International cricket.
I don't find county cricket or IPL the least bit appealing.
So have never bothered finding out, only what I have been told.
