2nd Test: Australia v West Indies at Melbourne on Dec 26-30, 2015

[JJ]

Wow - Chandrika has a first class average of 25, and 1 century... wow

Peter Siddle sends one down at 124km.

Poor shot after a great start, happens so often with Brathwaite. He looks a good player, but concentration is an issue.

Feel sorry for him a bit. He doesn't exactly have a lot of experience around him to help him out.

Hope windies make 300+ here just to get a bit of confidence into their batting, but that middle order is so prone to collapse it'll probably be between 200-250 again.

 

[jargan83]

It's all about the aggression. Must be what keeps Mitch Marsh in the side.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Mark Taylor, "go from goat to a lion". Brayshaw then asks Tubs about batting when bowling well when he has Lee sitting next to him.

I feel for Lee right now. He should never be the smartest guy in the room.

 

[typicalfan]

It isn't like Lee was an allrounder. He wouldn't know either. Geez you guys whinge.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

These clowns must never have heard Iain Smith and Simon Doull prattle on. FMD.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

With how they are going, i really hope Marlon has his head screwed on, he could easily prove to be massive if he can put forward a career innings and help carry this team to victory.

 

[typicalfan]

Patto is embarrassing... He looks like he is going to cry just like he looked yesterday.

 

[typicalfan]

Not out

 

[TheParraboy]

that s a no ball for mine

 

[jargan83]

No ball

 

[tomdl]

Hahah another no-ball wicket

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

You have to wonder how many no balls the umpires would miss per innings if they've managed to already miss/reverse 3 wickets from it.

Technology safety net making them a little lazy on the no balls?

 

[Ibleedblue]

That's the 3rd wicket called back from a no ball. Bowlers need to get it right.

 

[ANTiLAG]

It isn't like Lee was an allrounder. He wouldn't know either. Geez you guys whinge.

Well his 5 test 50s, 8 FC 50's and 3 ODI 50s begs to differ that he knows more about batting well when bowling well than Taylor knows about batting well when bowling well.

But Tubs does have 1 test wicket, and one more in FC cricket.

Its not whinging.

Whinge: verb (used without object), whinged, whing·ing. British and Australian Informal.
1. to complain; whine.

No complaints form me. I'm just calling Tubs and Brayshaw stupid. How could you even ascertain a "whinge" from that?

Yeh, they must be missing them all the time. Batting teams getting screwed out of plenty of potential runs. All I can think is for the 3rd umpire to check every ball and add the no balls that the umpires miss at the end of the innings. But that's a stupid idea haha

 

[ANTiLAG]

These clowns must never have heard Iain Smith and Simon Doull prattle on. FMD.

Huh?

They talk crap too.

This isn't a NZ'er v Australian thing.

I'd have Punter and Flem in the NZ commentary box ahead of Smith and Doully in a heartbeat.

Possibly, but I reckon it has happened in the past a bit as well, just that we don't know about it, cause the front foot wasn't checked, Shanes Warnes 99 aside.

Katich in shorts, the hair is out

God you whinge.
