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

[Pete Cash]

Just caught the replays of the wickets. The balls that got burns and smith were great. Is it just the windies have been mostly bowling rubbish around that?

 

[Twizzle]

lol, Burns

seriously, if this doesn't think he has a technique problem he is kidding himself

he may as well bat with half a bat, could have driven a truck through that gap

he was asked during the week about his technique and he reckons there is nothing wrong as it got him this far, problem is he wont be here for long, the Kiwis worked him out pretty quick and he will really struggle on a moving deck

he could only bat on a flat track with that technique and angled bat

the first step is admitting he has a problem and I wonder of they will make him watch that dismissal again and note the angle of the bat, all starts with his grip I reckon

 

[Pete Cash]

Im critical of burns but that was a pretty good ball. Nipped back in a fair bit.

 

[Twizzle]

yeh, it did, but no excuse for having that big gap between bat and pad, that's junior cricket stuff

ball should never get through there at this level

 

[Pete Cash]

That ball that got smith was so good. That spinner is a bright spot for the west indies if he keeps progressing. Only 23 too.

He will probably be retired from test cricket in 2 years lol

Voges is going crazy 44 of 50 deliveries with 8 boundaries

 

[Pete Cash]

Man following this on the radio is brutal. Sounds like voges is going bananas lol

 

[redvscotty]

Another 4 from Voges. Killing it.

I like how Slater won't say the West Indies are one of the weaker sides in World Cricket in the discussion about two tiers of Test Cricket.

Maybe they feel sorry for them and don't want to admit it

Will become a professional T20 mercenary.

Joe Watson?

At least Sunshine would have got a pad to that.

 

[The Charlatan]

Father time scores a well earned 50.

and with pace as well. 147km/h, compared with his other deliveries in the high 130s/low 140s.

Cricket Australia knows they're going to have problems attracting more than 30-40% capacity for each day in this test series. Slats rubbing salt into the wounds ain't going to help them, or Ch9's ratings.

 

[Timbo]

This field which is gifting Darsh runs is f**king killing me.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

What are ticket prices like? I know each state/ground sets prices but geezez the Sydney tickets were still pricey.

 

[hineyrulz]

Voges playing a little blinder, Darsh plodding along.

The Windies have bowled absolute rubbish today.

 

[chigurh]

Is bowling straight and full the WI game plan?

 

[hineyrulz]

This Feld is embarrassing first day of a test match against a chump like Darsh.
