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

West Indies win the toss and will bowl first

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Really like Jason Holder. Good player, well spoken, if only he had a bit more talent around him.

Dropping Marsh was the right call IMO. Burns is an opener, Marsh isn't, and Khawaja is better off at 3 rather than pushing him up to open to accomodate Marsh. Voges/Smith are both good enough and experienced enough to drop down a spot without any disruption.

 

[Twatface Magee]

Good on the Windies for electing to bowl so the match can still be going tomorrow.

 

[tomdl]

Lol @ Roche

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Have to wonder what the Windies bowlers do in practice/team meetings. Surely when you bowl first bedcause the pitch has a green tinge the plan isn't to bowl lengths of too short or too full. Suicide against most batsmen let alone Warner.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

I know it's terrible bowling, but warner is amazing to watch when in this mood.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Yeah the bowling deserves a pasting, but to walk out and middle it from the get go is never easy to do for anyone regardless. Takes real talent.

.....whoops, my bad.

 

[Pete Cash]

He is so dumb sometimes

 

[hineyrulz]

Warner what a mad merkin.

 

[Jason Maher]

Warner likes failing against the Windies. Highest score against them is the 64 in the last game.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

He is so dumb sometimes

Like a more talented McCullum so he gets away with it a little more often, but can be very frustrating when he throws it away.

 

[Hutty1986]

Oh Davey.

 

[Hutty1986]

He is so dumb sometimes

Absolutely brainless, still far too often.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Carpet Burns.........someone kick Warne out of the commentary box please.

 

[Twizzle]

well Warnie thought it was funny

nice to hear Bill's voice again

and good to see Burns has closed the face of his bat quiet alot, not just his defensive shots but he is driving straighter rather than square

 

[ANTiLAG]

Crowd attendance numbers?

 

[jargan83]

Crowd attendance numbers?

I would imagine the actual number won't be announced until the final session.

Looks much smaller on previous years.

 

[Twizzle]

Crowd attendance numbers?

officially, its f**k all

 

[tomdl]

Bill Lawry moans more than Chappell. He has never annoyed me before today.

 

[Mr Angry]

Joel Garner catches that.
