1st Test - Australia v West Indies - Match Thread

Brett Lee

After all these years he's still just straight up and down.

Lucky he's from NSW.

Reakon it's too early in Clarke's career to be at number four.

Never been a huge rap for Katich and his plodding footwork.

With Langer's return, maybe Hussey will drop down the order.

Unlikely but it's still an option.

I like the idea of Hussey at 6, katish out when langer comes back

I think the best way to sum up this match is that next years' Ashes series will have a huge build up to it.

Sounds Katich out for Hussey to bat down the order. I actually think that will give us more stability in the middle order.

great win!!!!!!!!!!

You know the old saying - it's harder to get OUT of the Australian side than IN it.

Mark Waugh, Mark Taylor and Brett Lee can testify to that.

(Come to think of it, I see a common theme developing. Hmmm...)

I think Katich is safe for the next test.

A fit Langer to return at Hussey's expense.

But Clarke and Katich must be on notice, surely.
