1st Test: Australia v West Indies @ Adelaide Oval Jan 17-19, 2024

[This Year?]

I feel a Starc wicket this over.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

As a kid of the 80s and teen of the 90s, you can recall WI teams with ease…

Haynes, Greenidge
Richards, Lloyd, Richardson
Gomes, Logie
Dujon
Marshall, Garner, Holding.
can’t think of the spinner…

Then Walsh, Ambrose, Bishop, Cummins, Hooper, Harper, Lara, Simmons, Arthurton.

It all went downhill after 1995.

 

[This Year?]

Fat Finchy's Final Fling... I don't think Gades will beat a team with Bancroft and Warner in the field.

Fatty will probably ton up and Thunder will give us one last collapse after coasting through P1.

 

[This Year?]

Sorry Starc lol.

 

[This Year?]

Head!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Da silva not so smart.

 

[_snafu_]

This WI batting lineup is as meek as a Dragons defensive line inside the 20.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Windies with the Han Solo stripe on their pants.

Poor old Ian Bishop having a mental breakdown on air.

Lawrence Rowe, Alvin Kallicharan... just an amazing conveyor belt, like the more recent Australian one, where world class players can't make the XI

They didn't often play a spinner as I recall - Marshall, Garner, Roberts and Holding - then Croft, Davis etc - often 4 quicks with Viv rolling his arm over - Lance Gibbs was around early on, but when you have 4 worlds class express bowlers, why play a mediocre spinner

 

[This Year?]

Not much longer to wait now Steve.

he getting more twitchy than normal? Hopefully your amazing commentators don't annoint him the greatest opener of all time for beating up on this village cricket XI

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Shamar looks dapper in his whites with the top button done up.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Ouch. Good lads checking on him.

[Mr Angry]

What's the point in taking the stickers off thier bats? Or do they sell no name bats in Jamaica?

no sponsorship presumably - the stickers are often unrelated to who makes the bat... these fellas will be waiting a long while for someone to pay them to carry their logo
