1st Test: Australia v West Indies at Hobart on Dec 10-14, 2015

Good grief...if it isn't bad enough you suck....you have to gift Darsh a ton!

 

[Twizzle]

A lot of talk in the media now that Darsh wont be dropped when Oozie becomes available, Burns should be the one feeling the pressure.

Whilst I'm not a fan of Burns till he corrects his technical deficiencies I dont believe anyone should be judged on one innings, thats just a kneejerk reaction.

You know they're just here for the cash and the chicks - on the latter, they're probably distraught they have to play a test in Tasmania

Years ago a friend of mine knew someone who used to work at one of the hotels in Sydney that the Windies used to stay at when they were in Sydney. Going back to the days when Lara, Hooper et al were in their prime. Story goes when they went to clean [insert batting genius' name here] room one morning there were used franga's left all over the floor....

Lads sure knew how to party... least they knew how to play cricket too though

I wonder if Curtly will still have fighting words for the media?

I've seen some pretty limp-wristed efforts over the last few years by touring teams but yesterday would just about have to take the cake.
Warner and Smith would feel like hanging themselves for getting out to an attack which barely bowled a good ball.
The sad thing about this touring side is that they already have a jaded look in their eyes after day ONE!!! It too India and England a bit longer before they had that look....West Indies already have it on their first day.
Not that long ago, I was on the "Let's help the West Indies by giving them money" bandwagon. After seeing their shit attitude, Im beginning to think that they can get stuffed. The attitude on the field was extremely poor yesterday. West Indies need to find 11 players that truly want to be there. I can accept stuff-ups from people who are trying, not f**ked up efforts like yesterday. If they want funding, at least bloody try on the field.

Smith can't be too disappointed with how he got out - that ball was a beauty. Warner should be pissed off though

 

[The Charlatan]

Yeah Smith copped a Jaffa. Warner was plain stupid.

 

[hineyrulz]

Warner should be about 326 no ATM.

 

[Valheru]

They should just cancel the series now, this is going to be embarrassing.

What price to get NZ to cancel their series against Sri Lanka and have them back here for the boxing day and new year's tests?

 

[ek999]

We should bat all day and into tomorrow to try and get both Voges and Darsh to break Lara's 400 not out. That would really piss the Windies off

 

[chigurh]

The WI batting is going to be scarily bad

I wonder if the ICC would relent and officially wipe it from the record books if Shaun Marsh ended up with the highest ever test score??!! Such would be the outcry from cricket fans everywhere if he somehow managed to do it! :lol:

 

[ek999]

Lol at Windies fielding

 

[ek999]

Bravo having a yawn at first slip. Says it all really

 

[The Charlatan]

Voges career average currently 70 :lol:

 

[madunit]

Marsh is now 5 shaky outside edges through 3rd slip from equalling his highest first class score ever of 166

 

[madunit]

Voges career average currently 70 :lol:

He's just 156 runs shy of cracking 1000 test runs too.

Should rack that up in the next test.

 

[Mr Angry]

When will Smith declare....700?
