[Chins get the wins]

We picked our best side though. Carey the only questionable one.

And Marsh I guess

Did we?? I still think our tactics are appalling.

 

[Fangs]

On Australia.

We look tired. Very long 2023. Can we try some kind of English excuse here?

 

[King hit]

We won WTC and ODI World Cup.

Retained the ashes in past 12 months.

I can cop losing to the likeable Windies as it's the morally right thing to do to keep the great game of Test Cricket alive and well.

I just never ever want to lose. I have that mindset when I’m playing or supporting. At least I like the west indies but I’m disappointed at the same time

 

[undertaker]

The result of moving the Gabba Test as the first of the summer.

Just joshing, love it Windies!

The Aussies would've much preferred to have played at the Gabba back in November, rather than end of January.

They struggled in the stifling heat/humidity, just like they did when India won there in 2021.

Well said young man, what a breath of fresh air he is. Hopefully we get 10
Plus of test cricket from him.


Nice Sledge at another dumb Vicderp in Rodney Hogg.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

LOL Australia

Sometimes you lose to a better team.
But I am not fooled by Marsh. He's not a test batsman, he's not an allrounder and I don't care that he's a good bloke. If we had someone better than Carey I'd play them. Is it Inglis?

Anyway, the Shamar Joseph story is the story of the day. I had the Windies sent off to the knackery but they get a stay of execution.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

The loss Australian cricket needed, will the idiots in charge take any notice???

Nah.

Moral victory. We let the underdogs beat us.

 

[_snafu_]

The boyz are hurtin' in the sheds.

Plus we were the better team on recycled paper.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Where are all our 20 somethings?
Marsh should be no where near this team and Green is at 6.
We need to find two strong bats and a couple of quicks, as the team is all 30+ bar Green.

Better carbon footprint. Refused to acknowledge Australia Day. Our 11 can proudly smell their own farts tonight.

It makes me wonder if the administrators of sports have ever been to Brisbane in late January to February. A 30 degrees here isn’t what a Sydney/Melbourne version of 30 degrees you have to remember the humidity.

 

[Canard]

How you perform in a losing side shows the mark of a player.

Steve Smith was immense. His legend grows

 

[hineyrulz]

What a win,Shamar Joseph must have cost 3 million as a yearling,powerful action and turn of foot.

Looks like a young Lohnro colt.

Yeah I can’t help but think a factor in the result was that the Windies were totally focused on the game. Unlike what Patty Cake and CA were doing all week.

Every now and then some bright spark floats the idea of a NRL Summer Series.

To that I say
