Second test - Aus v West Indies

[locky801]

3 runs in the last 7 overs including a no ball

[The Jack]

Have a referal Bollinger given not out

Aust 9/420

FFS bighead, declare

Bollinger hits one all the way to a fielder on the fence, Haddin says No

FFS every run is important, never see Waugh S doing that

Four minutes is a long time in cricket apparently...

And while I'm at it, Steve Waugh never did that because he was never one to deny himself a run, and also the opportunity of getting a not out to help his average. Faith in the tail enders? I don't think so.

4/217

Windies not in any hurry whatsoever

[locky801]

Appears no problems with Watson, bowling a long spell here

Windies not in any hurry whatsoever

Have they forgot how to win, there never going to have a better chance of winning a game on Australian soil than in this position and all there doing is batting for time, strange especially with Gayle still at the crease.

[RoosterMarty]

Does anybody think the Windies will go for a win here or are they happy to take the draw to restore a bit of morale?

[locky801]

I thought earlier they would go for the win, but they are hardly scoring, unless they have a huge dip in this last hour, they will have to bat until half way through tomorrow to be safe, i just have this horrid feeling they are going to bat on and on and on and on. Could come back and haunt them, they play for a draw here where they have a good chance possibly of a win and draw it and then win in Perth, wouldnt be real flash as Aussies would retain the trophy

[RoosterMarty]

Gayle was criticised for the way he got out in the first dig, now he plays an innings with a S/R just over 50. Good ton no doubt but surely now he has reached that he can push on a bit and up the tempo and scoring rate.

[whufc]

surely they couldn't play for a draw, the series is up for grabs and they have the perfect chance to make it one all and be a genuine chance of taking the series, especially with more australian injuries as is thought.

Me personally i would rather lose setting aus 300 than draw batting til lunch tomorrow and setting aus 400 plus. IMHO you play to win series and the only way the WINDIES can do that is by WINNING 2 tests

Agreed entirely

[RoosterMarty]

Fantastic fielding by Ponting, so close to getting a run out then.

[locky801]

Haddin evidently now has a right hand injury

[locky801]

4/242

Gayle 135*

Bravo 16*

[locky801]

Bravo slashes and is caught by Hauritz off Johnson


5/251, more a slog shot than a decent ball

[RoosterMarty]

A couple more quick ones and we can win this game.

Yes, only 1 win against us in the 2000's and have only won just 3 in the last 35 games.

[RoosterMarty]

Beautiful bowling MJ!
