2nd Test: West Indies v Australia at Port of Spain Apr 15-19, 2012

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Watson at best is a 6. Mentally weak. Physically frail. Must be a South African!!

Weather and wickets pending, Pup will declare about half day into day 5 id imagine

We should have around 220 lead at the very least, with probably 50-55 overs to bowl them out (keep in mind 20 overs in the last hour)

Dont think WI can sustain a 4 RPO rate on this deck without losing wickets regularly

Could be a fizzer, or could be a ripper ending

I just read that "Peter Siddle and James Pattinson will return to Australia from the West Indies due to back soreness". ICC tweeted it, but it's left me a little confused

 

[Patorick]

Pattinson spotted going to the nets. Perhaps to check if he can bat, and when, and how

lunch day 5

Aust 5/123 - lead 177 (70 overs remain)

Get another 50 after lunch then declare maybe?

50 overs to bowl them out, or WI around 240 to win

 

[Patorick]

Australia have declared. Roach leads West Indies off the field again. Raises the ball to the crowd, with his hat off. A positive declaration from Australia, setting West Indies 215 in a possible 59 overs.

Good declaration, but five overs too late methimks.
