[Sphagnum]

Big knock from coulter nile

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Coulter Nile to 6, bring in Behrendorff, f**k off Stoinis .

 

[Bazal]

Coulter Nile to 6, bring in Behrendorff, f**k off Stoinis .

Why should we move Nathan Coulter-Woakes from the premier spot in the order?

 

[Twizzle]

this game just enforces the importance of the #8 batsman

 

[TheParraboy]

That catch by Cotrell was freaky

 

[Eelectrica]

Stroke of genius from the top order to bring the all important no. 8 in earlier.
Made it look like a collapse, but all part of the master plan.

Who's this NCN fella? He goes ok

Atrocious performance from Gaffney in particular, though... agree with Holding TBH

Good win for Straya but plenty to like about the Windies

[simmo1]

Gayle unlucky, but but all the other shockers were overturned. Windies butchered that game from winning positions in both innings.

 

[TheParraboy]

Australia play Team India next

WI play SA

 

[The Mad Hatter]

NCN looks like a peripheral player who gets irked or bemused by more fancied players who get more games on hype than actual ability. Just does his job without fanfare.

And thank f**k for Smithy.

 

[Eelectrica]

NCN the new finisher?

 

[The unknown]

Wtf we won? Smith is a god

 

[herbert henry1908]

Amazing innings from NcN, but his bowling is a bit of a worry. Hell all our bowling outside of Cummins & Starc is a worry. We lack that third strike option.

Gayle unlucky, but but all the other shockers were overturned. Windies butchered that game from winning positions in both innings.

yeah, doesn't excuse Gaffeney though - man he was keen to fire Gayle and the no-ball, not even watching - upstairs should have called that...

And what's with the f**king bails - ditch the disco lights and lets have some that fall off when the ball hits the f**king stumps... if they fell off Gaffeney is off the hook

Gayle was lucky the bails didn't move when he got bowled, and had an incorrect decision over turned. Michael Holding carried on like a pork chop about the umpires call when Gayle was eventually dismissed not the fact that it should have been a no ball which I assume came up later in the night, it didn't come up before I fell asleep on the lounge.

Can the 3rd Umpire over rule the bloke in the middle on a no ball or is it only during a review or the umpire sending it up to check a front foot on a dismissal?

The West Indies look to be a genuine dark horse, they lack a bit of bowling depth past the opening pair + Dre Russ.

NCN and Smith saved our bacon with the bat and I think there will be question marks on our batting coming up against India this Sunday.

Gayle was lucky the bails didn't move when he got bowled, .

This is happening too much IMO

 

[Twizzle]

well if you cant hit a straight ball, you deserve to get out

 

[Sphagnum]

Australia play Team India next

WI play SA

Playing SA is just a bye now anyway

 

[JJ]

Yeah great stuff. Rule change so umpires can give you out "when you deserve it"
