1st ODI: Australia vs. West Indies at Perth 1st Feb, 2013

[Earl]

Khawaja needs to bat in the top 3.

If he comes in at and needs to up the ante I think he'll struggle.

 

[Earl]

Bailey for crying out loud. How come he was overlooked for India?

Because he doesn't bowl handy leg spin

 

[Hutty1986]

Because he doesn't bowl handy leg spin

:lol: Your sarcasm is supreme as always Earl

 

[vvvrulz]

Sammy wins the toss and has elected to bat. Its Gayle time, let the fun begin.

 

[Hutty1986]

As long as we can contain them to a score of 55 or less, I'm confident we can chase them down.

 

[Earl]

Just read this on cricinfo

The men from Caribbean have won 10 of their 17 ODIs here at the WACA and have only lost one - that's right - only one to Australia.

Go Aussie :lol:

 

[vvvrulz]

Disappointing to see Russell dropped but great to see Roach back.

 

[Earl]

I don't like Roach. Mainly cause he's a f**ken midget

Midget or not its about time a West Indian bowler had some genuine pace.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Was that Bleeding Gums Murphy who sang the Windies cricket song?

 

[Dutchy]

Lol that wasn't a wide. Rauf you cheat.

 

[vvvrulz]

I am predicting Australia's fifth bowling option to hurt them, West Indies to make 270+ with Pollard/Dw Bravo/Sammy going to town with Maxwell and friends.

Australia to fall short leaving too much for the tail.

 

[Earl]

Crowd looks massive. Looks to be hundreds of people packed in

 

[Dutchy]

Nice shape from Starc... So far.

 

[Xfactor1979]

:lol:

 

[Earl]

Nice shape from Starc... So far.

Starc channelling Wasim Akram and Gayle looks hopeless.

Shouldn't be too long before he dishes up a succession of 4 balls though.

 

[vvvrulz]

Gayle has been known to look hopeless and then produce a hurricane from nowhere.
2.2 overs and three extras so far, no runs off the bat.

 

[Earl]

so far so good.

looks like this will be a very absorbing test match

 

[Dutchy]

Shittest bouncer I've seen in a long time.

If you can call it a bouncer.

 

[snoozer]

There goes a potential trouble maker.
