Hussey the ideal man for this, play like an ODI and it's in the bag.

Watson when set throwing his wicket away again :?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

20 runs with 5 wickets remaining. Surely they can get up.

 

[Twizzle]

cant get much closer than that

 

[Pete Cash]

That was really exciting when Ponting got bowled by a ball basically rolling on the ground I started to worry the pitch would play up but well done to Hussey. Good win.

 

[aussies1st]

Never in doubt

 

[TheParraboy]

Would we have won this test if Punter was capain?

That declaration was a little suprising but pin point accurate by Clarke, 10 out of 10 son

 

[Twizzle]

Clarkey can do no wrong as skipper.

If the Windies lead on the first innings put your house on a choke occurring in the second. It has happened so many times in recent history.

They fought hard at the end but they should never have been that position in the first place. Their bowling to the tail and top order batting in the second innings were absolutely pathetic.

Congrats to Australia, particularly for declaring 40 runs behind on the first innings. The difference between the teams is that the Aussies play to win whereas the Windies play to compete. Hopefully the Windies realise that they have the ability to win before the end of the series.

Good win, Harris and Lyon played a big part and a good aggressive declaration by Clarke. Windies can sure find a way to lose.

There's no way in the world Ponting would have declared behind.

 

[Jason Maher]

Our only chane to win is to declare behind.

Great innings by Watson and Hussey in the 2nd dig

[Green and Gold Machine]

Very good win in the end given the position we were in very early on day 4. Great batting by Hussey near the end too. Really got us over the line.

 

[Horrie Is God]

That turned into a pretty good test..

Windies have proven to be a lot better side over the ODI's,20/20's & this Test,than i thought..

Nice to see our boys fight back to win after being under the pump for most of the game..

Great innings by Watson if you are looking at the scorecard but bloke was seriously lucky early on. Another LBW appeal which could have gone either way, another close shout and then given a life.
