Third Test - Australia vs. West Indies

[aussies1st]

Hows that decision by Billy, El? ;-)

 

[El Diablo]

dodgy if you ask me despite what hawkeye thinks

 

[aussies1st]

I agree, even McGrath stopped appealing. Oh well only a tailender.

 

[Parrasque]

MacGill into attack

 

[aussies1st]

Both spinners in, but WI reach 400. Aus are going to have a tough job winning this one.

 

[lockyno1]

The pitch still looks great and we have a better middle order this time around so chasing 400 should be easier than you think.

Looks like a belter of a wicket. They could go out there and bat for a few days and get 700+ although Bowden worries me.

 

[SirShire]

We'll win this match if we get within 50 runs of the Windies total I reckon.

Though I can see this being a draw.

 

[aussies1st]

Hayden dropped!
We basically need 600 to win this. If we can get that by the End of Day 3 game on. But we definitely need a lead cause batting last on this wicket will be very hard.

 

[Twizzle]

its a wonder they didn't get 500

punter wasn't trying to get them out, he was just wainting for them to get themselves out

 

[JJ]

look at his record away from india, it speaks for itself......... The bloke is immortal at home. Away from india it's a different story.

indeed it does, he averages nearly 57 away from India - not good enough :roll:

Lara averages 46 away from the West Indies, which is obviously vastly superior to Tendulkar :roll:

Seriously, where do you get off making idiot comments as if they're fact...

Tommy's right, depending on who you like better you can find reasons for arguing they're better - but Tendulkar being average away from India is not one of them...

 

[aussies1st]

Hayden dropped x2 now. 4 and 23 runs when he was dropped.

 

[JJ]

hayden gone...

 

[aussies1st]

Just short of his 50. Looks like Hayden will end on 4 consecutive test 100s again.

 

[Twizzle]

Chanderpaul looks like he's been learning how to set fields from punter

a new batsman at the crease and 1 slip and 4 men on the boundary

Australia should get about 600

 

[aussies1st]

It seemed alright in theory. Fraustrating the Aussie batsmen from scoring boundaries. The problem is no one took a wicket. Now all that plan has done is get Ponting in.

 

[aussies1st]

Ponting LBW to Bravo. It was a tight one probably the right call by Dar. Disappointing effort from Ponting he should have gone on.

 

[El Diablo]

Poor decision by Dar. Didn't even hit in line.

 

[El Diablo]

Bill is creaming his pants over Hodge

 

[aussies1st]

Hodge looks in great touch. Clarke won't be getting back his spot from him.
