[1UZFE]

[trent]

WI need 2 bring on Deonarine...
Rain looks like it will save the Windies.

[trent]

Rain saves the Windies Yaay!
Even if they had lost, it was good 2 see them fight back in the second innings of the game, this should augur well for the remainder of the series.

[<=xjemler=>]

Nice!!!!!

Meanwhile Mitchell Johnson destroys England by picking up 7/40
AUS lead 530 with seven wickets

[trent]

That was some lethal bowling frm Johnson!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Johnson real performing...he has really improved from being a wayward bowler,surely answered critics.

[meccalli]

Yeah, was seeing that form developing all the way from the ipl. Bowled a bouncer that nearly went over the rope lol. Really glad to see him back and on top, him and lee were a great pair.

[<=xjemler=>]

AUS declared with 531 for victory

Unsurprisingly Johnson strikes in his 1st over

ENG 1/1

[trent]

Ind so called vaunted batting line-up being humiliated in this series...so much for being ranked no.1.
Currently 34-4
Run machines Dhawan and Kohli gone for ducks, Sharma for 19.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Australia jes doing it to England yes...4wkts to go for another victory

[<=xjemler=>]

AUS hand ENG another massive defeat by 218 runs

[shake d livin wake d dead]

yup...well done Aussies

[Dizzy28]

2nd Test WI vs NZ from this evening. Doesn't seem that any broadcasters have taken heed of the WICB's calls and got the rights to the coverage. Oh well. Based on our squad there isn't much changes that can be made to the squad should a change be necessary.

But it is a sad state when your spearhead pace bowler has an average of 40 runs per wicket and his strike rate is 66.

ent Narine got a call up,wa he doing on le bench,I tort shillingford supposed to be on a plane ride to Aus to sort out he pelting.

[trent]

Shillingford already went 2 Australia... the wicket for the second test is supposed 2 b green, better suited for the fast bowlers so highly unlikely they'll play both Narine and Shillingford, esp. with Deonarine in the team.
The fast bowlers hav been ineffective tho...

[cornfused]

Green top , hope our pacers get it right , spinners don't only need turn but bounce as well . Real toss up on our attack .

I have always saw Johnson as a a bowling champion and he is delivering in this series . While I know what you did last summer Broad looks not very effective .

The so called milkways best is being found out with a quality pace attack in SA.
