And again..Warner

Onya A Voges

And a ton for Voges, now averaging over 62 in tests.

3/438 Stumps

WIs seem to be living up to the pre-match (lack of) hype

20 years since they have been a force in world cricket, 20 years of individual greed and top down corruption.

Root and branch is needed.

Maybe they should get Sir Curtly Elconn Lynwall Ambrose out of his comfy chair and onto the field.

Tonne x2 Voges

x1.5 Marsh

seems a declaration is imminent…

WI to make ~250 first innings.

2 short of all partnership records (Bradman/Ponsford) they’re saying.

0/16 record opening partnership at this ground for WI :)

Australia’s second-favourite Nathan!

Starting to look as though the Windies will be lucky to get away without an innings defeat

BRAVO!

As least with sibeen you knew who were the goodies and how they were going.

As I type, Voges has a batting average of 76.83. Could be quite Bradmanesque by the end of this series unless the Windies get themselves together.

So Bravo is Brian Lara’s cousin.

I think I heard Jimmy M say that the Windies were “Managing Their Workload”

New catchphrase :)

One of the problems for the WI is the witchdoctor psychologists who say they must look for positives to take out of crushing defeats rather than look at the brutal facts.
For 20 years these charlatans who deal in bullshit, jabberwocky and false hope have been stalking the WI dressing rooms.

They must have positives up the wazoo by now.

Only 69 more runs and they avoid the follow on, wait what?

So I want a gravy to go with cheap Colesworth chicken schnitzel.
There’ll be no pan juices as such for a gravy base.
All suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Bravo has two tons at this ground now: he is the only Windian to have any.

Most disgraceful day of cricket I’ve seen: Hogg

http://www.sen.com.au/news/12-15/most-disgraceful-day-of-cricket-i-ve-seen-hogg#WQw24RoxASlPEcQu.99

Apart from a few early wickets Australia made very light work of a second-rate West Indies bowling attack and it was one of the most disgraceful days of cricket seen by Rodney Hogg.

At stumps the home side was 3/438 despite their middle order being the only weakness many thought the visitors might be capable of exposing.

“They just look like a tired bunch, there doesn’t look to be any zest,” said Hogg on SEN radio.

“I mean, in Jamaica if you send someone down the shop to get say a paper and a pie he might come back three days later – and that’s how they look in the field the West Indies at the moment.

“They need a good rocket”.

That was yesterday. Wonder how he’d describe today.

I’m calling for multiple probes..

11 40 foot ones would be a good start.
