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

[madunit]

This pair are 7 runs shy of the highest ever test partnership at Bellerive.

We could declare now and still win by an Innings.

Probably could have done that 100 runs ago.

 

[Pete Cash]

Smith might as well declare when voges scores 200. Believe it or not the windies are even worse batsmen.

Come on mate. It's like you haven't seen the levers on the next bloke in!

 

[gordsy]

Dear God this is awful. We'd be better off playing a test match against Australia A then these clowns.

 

[chigurh]

Declare soon and end the snooze fest today.

As brilliant as Marsh has been, Gilly's 149* in 99' is still the best knock I've seen in Australia...

 

[madunit]

And with that single, Voges get the second double ton at Bellerive and breaks the record for highest test partnership at Bellerive

10 runs to pass Punters top score.

"If Voges makes 352*, his average will pass Bradman's of 99.94; just saying..."

 

[Pete Cash]

Good on voges it takes a lot of concentration to score a double hundred even against poor bowling.

 

[madunit]

They need 29 more runs to surpass Lawry and Simpson for the highest partnership by Australians v West Indies

He could make a run at it, Voges>Windies

Sad thing is they bowl and field better than they bat

 

[madunit]

lol, S Marsh gets to 150.

It reminds me of when Gillespie scored 200...

 

[Pete Cash]

I really thought that second hour in the morning session that they might surprise us with the ball. The spinner looked sharp, the quicks tightened up but its just been poo since then.

 

[madunit]

May as well see if S Marsh can reach 200. Declare around 550

 

[madunit]

They're 78 runs shy of the highest 4th wicket partnership in test history lol

 

[Pete Cash]

How much money does cricket australia lose on tours like this ? No wonder they want a million ashes series and indian odi series

 

[_snafu_]

lol, S Marsh gets to 150.

:lol:

 

[Pete Cash]

Haha look at the commentators begging smith to declare to get the game moving. Its only the morning session on day 2

 

[Incorrect]

On the plus side for the Windies, when Smith declares later today, at least they won't have to go through all this bowling and fielding malarkey again until the Boxing Day test.... 2 weeks to put the feet up boys!

Can Warnie shut the f**k up about recently spending a week in America, no one cares
