Third Test - Australia vs. West Indies

[aussies1st]

Langer out on 99, what a shocker. He should have just waited patiently.

 

[lockyno1]

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

Thank goodness too! If Clarke was playing he would already be out!

 

[El Diablo]

Langer isn't usually like that in the 90's

Looked like he was trying to get out almost

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Only the second time he's been out in the 90s, which isnt a bad record.

But 99 its so disappointing to get out just one run short of a milestone. But it is still a good innings to almost reach a 100.

Bill is creaming his pants over Hodge

I wanna boof him

 

[El Diablo]

Meanwhile, back onto the cricket. What's with the run rate? The Windies went at 4 an over against a quality bowling attack yet Australia, for the last 150 runs, have gone at seemingly under 2.5 an over against a less than impressive bowling line-up. Although some credit to the Windies but surely the Aussies can do better.

You Poms can always pick them eh!

That's right up there with a certain El Diablo announcing that (to paraphrase) - when they don't play a shot, it doesn't matter where it pitches...

24-0 well done boys....

Must say I feel for Langer, gee I like watching the way he bats these days... simple, but soooo effective

 

[El Diablo]

Aus run rate 3.39

Windies run rate 3.64

bugger all difference

it shouldn't really. if you can be given out when the ball doesn't hit in line after not playing a shot when the ball pitches outside off then they should scrap the ball piching outside leg rule(only if not playing a shot).

is it a wonder a lot of left handed batsmen get big scores?

 

[El Diablo]

Symonds fails again. As predicted.

 

[Iafeta]

Symonds misses a straight one.

The saviour of all-rounders, I think not.

 

[wittyfan]

Ahhh, dropping Clarkey was supposed to solve the middle-order woes?

The selectors are plonkers.

 

[Iafeta]

Poor wicket-keeping.

Gilchrist dropped from a sitter on 0.

 

[El Diablo]

Gilchrist dropped by the keeper. Could hurt.

 

[UndertakerMike]

Will hurt I rekon.

 

[Iafeta]

I don't think it will.

He's walking back to the stands as we speak.

WHAT A CATCH!

 

[El Diablo]

Will hurt I rekon.

nope

Gilchrist gone for 6

 

[UndertakerMike]

I rekoned wrong
