1st Test: Australia v West Indies @ Brigdetown June 26-30

[King-Gutho94]

Our top order looking very worrying for the Ashes.

Usman is cooked, Konstas isn’t it, Green ain’t a 3.

Yep anyone thinking this summer will be a landslide is in for a shock.

Out batting is pretty fragile

 

[Mr. Shaman]

7/142 Trav gone.

Deary me, rank bottling it v rank 8, and we won the toss.

 

[Fangs]

You remove Smith and Marnus (Yes...Marnus) and that top order just looks a whole lot weaker.

Not in the drop Marnus club sorry. He is back for the Ashes.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

8/143 f**king dire

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Need to prioritise shield, not shit bash. Double the amount of first class games.

Would kill for the days where blokes like Hodge Blewett Love Cox Maher etc weren’t considered good enough for test cricket.

 

[TheParraboy]

9/180

Oh well, hopefully we get a few wickets tonight

 

[_snafu_]

Dragons performance with the bat.

 

[TheParraboy]

WI 2/20

Another 2/20 before stumps?

 

[TheParraboy]

WI 2/52

Carty Party and King at the wicket

 

[Chins]

Booooom well on top here

 

[TheParraboy]

4/53

 

[King-Gutho94]

Another 3 day test looming.

I guess all those cricket tours over there can start booking some extra activities for day 4 & 5 in Barbados with no cricket.

Time to hit a few rum distilleries. Perfect

Tbh the pitch looks a bit shit. And the Windows opening Quicks were very good. But we've gotta be able to knuckle down and get even 250+, on a deck like this that's plenty

 

[Twizzle]

And the Windows opening Quicks were very good

lol, turn it off Baz

Green needs to work on his leaves and how to defend if he is going to be a long term no 3, these pitches aren't roads but he has to learn to surve for more than an over of two

I’ll be there on the next test tour

Hopefully not another 10 year wait

Maybe have to settle for white ball or the CPL..

@hineyrulz has stated if you go you must only drink Kraken while on tour.

Its a Caribbean special

It will be my beverage of choice on the first night, ill reassess after that..

 

[yobbo84]

Its pathetic what we have done to his development.

His first class record away from tests is incredible yet we move him around the order to fit him in.

He hasn't been settled into a spot.

And now thrown in a position he isnt used too.

He bats in every test match like a deer in the headlights unfortunately, even if he is good elsewhere

I would love to do a couple of tests in the WI, looks like a great place to kill a few weeks and watch some cricket

 

[Fangs]

Only saw a few overs of us bowling last night.

Got to watch our batting instead though. Wasn't all that pretty. Hope one of our new top order (K, Green and Inglis) can get some runs in the second dig.

Shamar Joseph only 4 wickets. Overshadowed by Seales with 5. But make no mistake Shamar was on fire. I think I recall 3 drops off his bowling maybe more. If the WI took their chances our first innings may have been closer to 120.

Who was the last WI bowler who gave us trouble like Shamar? He has 17 wickets at a touch under 16 against us.
