First test - Aus v West Indies

[locky801]

This young lad Barath is a gun, when he gets 3 more runs in this innings evidently he will be the 1st West Indian to score a hundred on debut against Australia, in Australia, for an 18 year old that is sensational

I thought Roy Fredericks did it

So did I (thought that is) at the WACA, but not according to the ABC commentators

[locky801]

Barath given out LBW but has appealed the decision and has been given out, Watson gets the lad out, what a magnificent innings, hope he repeats it in Adelaide

WI 6/154

[FlyingHigh]

Was a great knock to watch. Good, sensible shot-making, bit of flair, but watchful when required.

Felt he was a bit stiff to be given out - I wonder whether the umpire would have given it out if the referral system wasn't in place?

[locky801]

Taylor now gone, caught by the Hilf for a duck

WI 7/158

I heard it on the ABC commentary yesterday (they said it was at the WACA)

[locky801]

They have now said that however he is the youngest ever West Indian to score a test hundred, either way it was a great innings to watch

[locky801]

Australia have bowled 6 no balls this innings and Hauritz has bowled 5 of them, thats crap for a spinner

[locky801]

Ramdan now gone caught behind off of Hauritz

8/170

WTF am i going to do for the next 2 days

[locky801]

Roy Fredricks scored his 1st hundred of 169 in Aust in the 75/76 tour at the waca.
He previously toured Aust in 68/69 tour with his highest score that tour being 76 in Melbourne

W.I. lost 15/281 on the 3rd day

[locky801]

when you look at it 15 wickets and 281 runs in a day, thats a very entertaining day of cricket

[Gozu]

Hilfenhaus got MOTM, should've been Hauritz for mine. Either way I hope the Inside Cricket guys give him his due on Monday night after almost unanimously saying Krejza should've been picked over Hauritz.

Completely agree well said mate

[mal]

If Ponting enforces the followon this may well be over just before stumps tonight

Your prediction vindicated

Surely Barath should get it.
Why does it have to go to a player of the winning team ?
The lads a youngster and hits a hundred on debut in a team that was spanked.

Who is the fool who selected the MoTM ?

Hauritz is a negative spinner who got cheap tail end wickets from a very poor side.
They mentioned Krejza because he is more attacking as a spinner.
Hauritz wouldn't of even been picked unless he moved to NSW,same as Casson, prior to that he was second Xl for QLD.
