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

[gordsy]

Seems like test selection may be who is in with the Marsh boys instead who is the best person for the job.
I don't follow shield cricket much these days so I'm curious, why no mention of Faulkner?

And the decision to delay Starc's surgery so he can play in the T20 WC, to me, is absolutely ridiculous. Can anyone imagine Glenn McGrath doing that lol.

Agreed what a joke.

Thats a disgrace.

The amount of Mickey Mouse Cricket they play there will be another T20 World Cup in a year anyway.

 

[Timbo]

West Indies (playing their full strength test XI) are currently 5/96 against a Cricket Australia XI fielding six guys on first class debut.

This is going to be a suuuuuuuuper competitive series.

Faulkner hasn't had a great season, and his off field issue in the off season hasn't helped his case. Personally though, questionable whether he is test quality.

In Faulkners first and only Test he took more wickets and I believe scored more runs (or a similar number) than Mitch Marsh did in his first series or so

 

[WaznTheGreat]

NCN is a f**king terrible bowler,WTF

 

[lockyno1]

Half those wickets were blokes trying to hit him into the car park. It is like saying..."Mark Craig got wickets" :lol:

 

[WaznTheGreat]

The great Marcus Stoinis continues to churn out the half centuries,guy has been impressive in he past year or so since moving up the order,hopefully he continues to play well and gets a shot one day in the baggy green,he can't be any worse than Watto and Marsh brothers surely.

 

[Bazal]

Stoinis is a plodder, Siddle level player

which he did

 

[lockyno1]

which he did

Craig's wickets were just as ordinary as Faulkner's. Not fussed Faulkner is nowhere near a test side.

And no one else is fussed by your opinion.

Out of curiosity which locky is it these days? The one with a fiancee he abandoned in LA, the teenage girl, the gay one, or any of the dozen others that have been and gone? Stick to making stuff up

lol

Craig was bad. He had a bad series. Although, take away his first innings in Brisbane, and he wasn't that bad.

Guess the amount of hundreds scored this match.

Four.

 

[Mr Angry]

The Windies are getting beaten by our 4th XI.

Will be short tests....

 

[Pete Cash]

4th xi half these guys havent played a game of fc cricket....only two have playes more than 10 from what i can see. Its more like our 20th xi

 

[Mr Angry]

Sure...not a good sign...I do rate the captain (Holder) very highly.

CAXI 4/245 Stumps, lead by 2 runs
2 days left


I think WI bowling is very decent , Roach is world class, and if Taylor and Holder get going they could cause us some serious damage. Their batting is terrible. We bowl poorly is their only chance of competing for a decent score

 

[The Charlatan]

It's tragic the way West Indian cricket has gone.
