Second test - Aus v West Indies

[Dutchy]

Windies off to flyer 0/6 off 2 balls.
Game over

Bollinger couldnt get a game in Sydney, now takes the new nut today

Kerry O'Keefe said last night that the Lefties in the WI side have a very good record against Left handed bowlers,time will tell if this holds up against the Rug and Mitch

Getting tonked early is Bolly. How's the deck looking?

I would eat that pitch for dessert, it looks so inviting.

And a magnificent catch it was too. Will be tough to beat as the catch of the summer.

Just came here to ask about that actually mate, good form.

[FD88]

Ah ffs, that one seems to stop and prompt you to sign up after watching for a while, just died on me then. I'll try to find another link...

Dowlin dropped, Nash retained

Gayle gone for 26

c. Haddin b. Bollinger

WI 2/39

Listening on Radio apparently another poor shot tried to cut ball over slips head didn't get it high enough and Haddin caught it.

Though now the Windies two best bats Chanderpaul and Sarwan are in together, these guys are both capable of hitting 100's and a massive 200 run partnership on a wicket like this.

I'm going to have a crack at the sopcast one but yeah, not a great deal of links around.

Typical Gayle. Appeal incoming?

[Dutchy]

Over 8.4: Bollinger to Gayle, no run, OUT, attempts to cut a very short wide ball outside off and Haddin takes the catch one handed leaping into the air. Big wicket for Australia

Doug's day, but hey sh1t gets wickets...

Chanderpaul will get a big score here I feel

The ball wasn't all that wide, Gayle nearly got the shot right too.

And yes, Bollinger's bowling hasn't been all that good. Just had two very good catches taken.

Quote from the online commentator on cricinfo......

"I'm going to get flamed for this, but Gayle is a hack and should be removed as captain. What kind of idiot, who should be a mentor and role model for his young players, plays so carelessly and so selfishly? What good is a test opener with 150+ strike rate if he averages only 30-odd. Strip him of his captaincy, put him back down to no.6 (at best), and let some talent lift the team. Better yet, leave him in T20 - he's just embarrassing himself here."

Yes that was annoying, it was working well until that!

I've decided to just go with a stream from ABC Grandstand now... I don't mind listening to it while I'm working and KOK is always good for a laugh.

Been 10.30 start in Adelaide for quite a few years now i think. Not sure what the reasons were to change from the traditional 11.00 start but would probably be to do with TV stations and $$$$.
