[shake d livin wake d dead]

I seeing Rampaul, who's fitter between roach and edwards? hopefully Australia bowl first..pitch is quick..

[hydroep]

Good to see Chanders in the squad. We need that stabilizing influence. Don't think that will be enough though.

D.M. Bravo...*shakes head*...they better put he as the 12th man oui.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

60-1 at lunch,not bad,batting real slow though..

[shake d livin wake d dead]

no rampaul in the side,though...interesting..prolly not %100 fit.

[DevilZ]

yuh see de amount of footmarks dem bowlers leaving? bishoo prolly lickin he chops for wen oz hadda bat last

[shake d livin wake d dead]

that wicket go be real pain to be last on....

[toyolink]

Indies must survive the morning session without any major collapse before I can feel they have come with some resolve.
I maintain that someone has to spend time working on Bharat's concentration and unwillingness to give away his wicket.This batsman like young Bravo have a lot to manifest and the clock is ticking.
I continue to be vexed by the quality of the tele-transmission and can't understand why 'this ent fixed yet'.

[hydroep]

WRT Barath I agree. When he gets those bouncers it's like his brain shuts off and he swipes on reflex.

Sadly I believe that is a consequence of batting (and excelling) in the shorter forms of the game, especially 20/20.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

sad to see that for a right handed opener,you can't score a run on the offside,why?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Narine didnt bowl that bad today.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

why KKR does always struggle in the IPL

[DevilZ]

sad to see that for a right handed opener,you can't score a run on the offside,why?

fellas didn yield to temptation...full slip cordon and a plenty close fielders on the off side and the ball swingin away from the right handers...dem fellas eh play nuthin they didn have to play at

I understand it's a tactic yes,but as a opener,you would strive to beat the field with a few cover drives,not so?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

test match looking like ah draw

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Australia better doh play up today inno,dey done loss 1 already..

[toyolink]

Once the WI team willing to work continuously and with gritty determination they will make themselves proud.
....NO GUTS NO GLORY!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

wtf happen to watson dred....

[hydroep]

LOL...like the Aussies pray for rain...

[toyolink]

No rain in T&T this hot holiday week-end,want to bet what will happen for next match here?

[Country_Bookie]

Rain and bad light really killing we momentum in this match. Would've been nice to take the new ball for a few overs this evening and then come back tmrw morning with it still relatively new.
We'll need to bowl them out fairly early tmrw if we want to force a result.

[DevilZ]

on tha pitch the lower order only have abt 50 runs between dem..so wi hadda get wade or hussey early tmr to get a crack at dem an have a 75/100 run lead...if wi could manage to score a quick 200 by close of play tmr den wi hav a chnace of beatin dem aussies on d last day

[shake d livin wake d dead]

this match must be drawn,i doh think Australia could win from here.

[hydroep]

Or the W.I. could squander a strong position and lose. It wouldn't be the first time...

[prakash]

Wayyy sah , NARINE GET DROPPED ! BUT GAYLE PLAYING

[hydroep]

Yeah, well he didn't get any wickets in Sunday's game so that may have had something to do with it.

[prakash]

[X_Factor]

i think KKR probably feel they wasted their 700k
i hope he gets a couple more games to redeem himself

on the other hand K. Cooper having a blast

[hydroep]

Wait nuh, Australia declares at 406/9 after being 285/8 at one stage?...

Whose your money on now?...

[X_Factor]

this morning i was telling someone this
that a brilliant tactical move will be to try and get about 50-60runs from the total, declare
and try to bowl WI for under a 150 by the end of today or early tmr....
and with about 200-225 to get to win the game...im sure they can do it..

so said so done

[Dizzy28]

WI the only team can go from a position of dominance to a position of submission so quickly. The two openers gone 1 one over.
