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

[Fangs]

If Cummins doesn't bowl we could have some trouble.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Does anyone else reckon Travis head has got some work done with his hairline in last 12 months.

Looks to have grown a bit of it back.

 

[TheParraboy]

Braithwaite remember the name...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Brathwaite with a fighting hundred.

 

[TheParraboy]

day 5 equations

WI Need 306 to win

Aust need 7 wkts to win

Prediction, 45k plus crowd will turn up...

 

[simmo1]

Good knock from Brathwaite. Perhaps a slight chance of saving the game? Holder and da Silva can bat long periods. Probably need these two to survive the first session.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Check this stat out:

There have been 11 test centuries by West Indian openers since 2014.

All of them have been by Brathwaite.

 

[baggygreen man]

Braithwaite remember the name...

He is the other side of 30, 11 tons from 80 games and averages @34. I doubt he will get any better than that. Gutsed out a top 100 yesterday tho.

Prediction

Inspired by their skipper I predict the Windies will shock us by having a real dig and bat closer to a draw than an of us envisage. Probably fall 100 short.

 

[King hit]

Even for a 5th day that crowd is extremely poor

 

[baggygreen man]

I may be off the mark with my previous post. Forgot the Windies are inheritantly poor players of spin. Lyon is generally a negative but super accurate bowler so you have to put him out of his comfort zone by attacking him.. not wait for him to get you.

 

[TheParraboy]

These two are dangerous, Holder can bat. Captain Braithwaite might be not out all day

We dont get one of these guys out soon , preferably both out before lunch, its very dangerous

 

[TheParraboy]

or Braithwaite might be out to the goat..

 

[Smug Panther]

GOAT doing GOAT things but you pelicans in here won't admit it

 

[AlwaysGreen]

My prediction: we will either win or the West Indies will hold on.

I may change this prediction

 

[King hit]

Fancy getting out to Travis head

 

[Eelectrica]

Is Marnus getting murdered? It sure sounded like it.

 

[baggygreen man]

Hazlewood bowling without luck in this match. Looked underdone in first innings, but back to his unerring accuracy in the second.

 

[Eelectrica]

Hazlewood strikes. Which is good because now we don't need to replace him with Ashton Agar.

 

[TheParraboy]

My prediction: we will either win or the West Indies will hold on.

I may change this prediction
