Australia in West Indies

[Rik E Boy]

MJ is a project player
That was his first o/s tour
He is still learning
He is worth perservering with
Clark + Lee are getting old and will be finished by 2010

Luke Ronchi was very impressive with the gloves, still has not batted in 2 games !

Good call on Johnson. I can't believe this 'short career' talk. Don't expect the majority of test players to have uninteruppted careers because it just doesn't happen. Lee struggled for years to get it right. Johnson will step up when it is needed I am sure of it.

dont tell me

ROD/REB are turning towards MALS darkside with WATTO

The guy plays for Australia. Should I want him to fail just to 'score a point' on the Internet? I want Watto to do well but for me the jury is out until he can stay fit enough to earn a baggy green, and them perform in one.

REB

Good call
Gaining Internet merit points is a distant second to supporting players who wear the baggy green.
When Shane plays for QLD let the games begin

watto = several kinds of awesome...

[Rik E Boy]

watto = several kinds of awesome...

Ah, you see this is why Rodney Fowler and myself bag Watto. Watto is several kinds of 'what if', or several kinds of 'maybe' but several kinds of awesome he is not. Remember boys and girls real cricket is played in White clothing and it is in this garb that the Watto starts rolling out the donuts and pulling the heartstrings.

Well the West Indians may need to replace one of their experiencd players in Marlon Samuels, who has been found guilty of bookie links.

2 year ban on Samuels has been upheld at appeal by the ICC

Powell to Watson, OUT, First the bouncer, then the really full one and now the length delivery cutting in from outside off. Watson shapes to drive on the up and it runs off the inner edge to left of Ramdin
SR Watson c Ramdin b Powell 24 (22b 5x4 0x6) SR: 109.09 Australia 1/41

Ricky Ponting will become the third Aussie to return home early from this tour with a tendon injury to his right wrist. Michael Clarke becomes Australia's 18th ODI captain, and youngest since Kim Hughes.
David Hussey will make his debut in the fourth ODI, Australia's only change, while the West Indies have named two debutants. Batsmen Shawn Findlay will replace Andre Fletcher, while left arm spinner Nikita Miller comes into the side at the expense of Sulieman Benn

In reply W.I 3/247 after 43 overs

Aussies win by 1 run!!
Watto bowled the last over and had 6 singles taken off it when the windies needed 8 to win.
Watto again

What a great game of cricket that was, best one dayer I have watched in a long while

[mal]

THE DAVE 50 on debut [51 balls]

For a while the newspapers had this headline ready
" GAYLE FORCE WINS..."
Big Chris was pulverising the ozzies until WATTO tricked him with a slower ball OUT 92 [92 balls]

And that last over was the cometh of the man

The IF cricketer is now an IS cricketer

Mitchell Johnson will stay with Queensland even though he has decided to move to Perth to follow his girlfriend.

[Thiele]

Australia made 8/341 in reply W.I. 4/93 after 22 overs

MJ 5/29 say no more

[Media Park]

Man of the Match- RONCHITIS...
Man of the Series- WATTOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.COM

[brod]

Just as a conclusion to the tour, Ricky Ponting has undergone wrist surgery and is not a certain starter in the Aussies next contest, a ODI series vs Bangladesh (why would he rush back ). Ponting had surgery to repair tissues that hold the tendon in place

[hearts on fire]

Next series against Bangladesh is a good chance for the Aussies to get some stats up, just like good old Murali.........

[james07]

Have been watching the one dayers and tests and for the Aussies to continue there world dominance they must bring on the likes of Marsh, D Hussey and eventually Ronchi all can play and must be put into the system asap.
