FIRST TEST AUSTRALIA v WEST INDIES. Nov 30-Dec 4, PERTH STADIUM.

[Bazal]

Head so Alpha he wanted the pleb Windies to know the extra run was totally meaningless

 

[Smug Panther]

World's best quick still not opening the bowling for reasons

 

[AlwaysGreen]

99 is the loneliest number

 

[JJ]

Why declare?

Respect for Warnie… bit late though

 

[Twizzle]

bit of a run fest and well batted Smudger and Labs

Labs has to be the luckiest merkin ever to make a double ton, he was dropped a few times and played and missed right up until he got out, whereas I never saw Smudger play and miss once

 

[hineyrulz]

99 is the loneliest number

The 99 curse in Perth continues. So many players out for 99, a decent list as well.

Boycott,Kim Hughes,Slater,Steve Waugh,Dean Jones, Warnie and Now Head.

If he goes on to be half as good as some of those fullas he'll be doing alright, young Trav

 

[Bazal]

Lol we are still the worst team in the world for reviews

 

[baggygreen man]

No he's not. You provided the list Baggers.

Cricinfo did AG. Lara was off the pace I am betting as his 34 tons took 266 innings.

Time to talk declaration?

Soon as Smith hits 200 for mine, probaby not far after the dinner break

Spot on. Have you ever seen scoring 200 runs look like a walk in the park. Smith did.

 

[Bazal]

Look I'm no Kerry O'Keeffe lover but my god it's the height of injustice that, in a commentary box where Ian Smith has him and BC Lara sitting to his right...it's f**ken Smithy the only one with hair

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Did someone say road?

 

[mozza91]

Did someone say road?

It is but I can definitely see the West Indies losing 8 wickets in the first session tomorrow.

Did you say Windies or kiwis?

 

[mozza91]

Did you say Windies or kiwis?

Nah the pitch will still be a road. It’d be a green top minefield if NZ were batting on it.

 

[TheParraboy]

bit of a run fest

The poms say hello

 

[Twizzle]

Cricinfo did AG.

no, you did, as you didn't provide any source or reference

 

[Twizzle]

Look I'm no Kerry O'Keeffe lover but my god it's the height of injustice that, in a commentary box where Ian Smith has him and BC Lara sitting to his right...it's f**ken Smithy the only one with hair

yeah, and I've always wanted to know how good they all were at playing soccer when they were kids too, particularly Junior and Tugga

 

[baggygreen man]

Smith looks in another space than most other batsmen. Cantered to his double, like having a long net. He has the same aura about him that he had in his glory years when he dug us out of hole after hole or when he scored 770 runs in England in 2019, driving our Ashes draw.

 

[baggygreen man]

The poms say hello

That must have been one plodding Paki attack. Four Poms scored maximums on the first day, Zac Crawley, who averages a piddling @27, among them.

 

[baggygreen man]

Where has Tage Chanderpaul been, 26, FC @35. Give him a Windies cap and he looks made for Test cricket.. such is his composure. Well he does carry the genes of his old man.
