350 test wickets for LOCKY801.

Bowled pies after lunch

Windies held their own in that 1st hour after dinner or lunch or whatever it was

[locky801]

I’m guessing Green isn’t allowed to bowl?

Friendiliest batting conditions on a day 1 of a Test in Australia for many many years and the Windies still couldn't get to 100 without losing 5 top order batsmen is the best example yet of just how far off the pace they are. Even a crap team should be posting a minimum 350+ on this pitch.

I’m happy to see these two show some spine though. The only way teams like the Windies will get better is to play the better teams more.

Warner catches that no worries

Specialist fielder another drop

Totally agree
Hope these 2 can bat a few sessions and get them to a competitive score to make a game of it
They'll find it tough to bowl Australia out on this pitch

Specialist fielder another drop

Difficult chance.
Hodge and De Silva playing very well, partnership of 123 from 45.4 overs.
9 overs to the new ball.

[The Dark Knight]

Partnership of 149 broken, De Silva LBW to Lyon for 79 (157).

Windies getting shafted by Aus slow over rates

[woodublieve12]

This is awesome by this young side. Great response after adelaide

[The Dark Knight]

Windies getting shafted by Aus slow over rates

Still managed to get 89.4 overs in so probably enough to avoid sanction.

Usman Khawaja named test player of the year for 2023.

That's an anomaly. This should be the minimum. Why, as a fielding side, wouldn't you try to get as many overs as possible in the last 30 minutes?

One for all the Boomers out there- Pat Cummins is the ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year. Go Solar Panel Pat!

[Booney]

I reckon Da Silva could murder beers.

Me too. But the big question is, do these teams actually want to get better?
