If Aus add 17 more runs then Windies would have to chase the 8th highest total ever in test cricket. The fact that they're 12/1 here is insulting, as I said yesterday this clown outfit should be 100/1

can anyone tell me, what it the point of banging drums and blowing trumpets all day. is it a show of low intelligence?
also what is the point of the windies openers?

That's an awful, awful decision. It didn't even look out in real time! That's probably a worse all than hussey's not out yesterday.
The umpires have been all Australia all series.

Absolutely incredible the decsions aus have got this series, the one plus is that the market will continue to over rate them on the back of their "stunning" performance in the windies. They are nothing more than an average test side at best right now.

Think they are better than average, probably on a par with pakistan in 3rd
good bowling attack and options now, batting has issues no doubt but in Clarke and Hussey have two of best batsman around
big issues in other batting slots though and wade still to prove himself
record since ashes is very good barring slip up in hobart

issues they have is keeping seamers fit - cummins,pattinson,harris,hilf all injury issues
and replacing hussey and ponting in middle order
lyon done ok for me

Not convinced by the bowling myself steps. hilf a trundler, pattinson looked all at sea away from home, siddle honest tryer but not gona blow you away, Cummins looks a prospect and harris certainly got some class, but both have Injury issues like you say. Lyon and beer not in the same league as Monty or Beer and as for their batting other than Hussey and Clarke they look shot to pieces. I'm still convinced if Windies had got the calls the aussies got in this series they would have won the 1st test and people would see the shambles of an outfit that this aussie side is.

Watson decent with bat - ok dont make enough tons but pretty consistent and useful bowler too
overall see more issues with batting than bowling, still 120-4,150-5 far too much
Other thing in favour is clarke as skipper, been really positive and seems to be quite a tight unit now
Still work to do to get upto england/saffer level for them though

I have BIG Green on this Test Match, trouble is its on the draw, on the other hand I now have No Red after the Window of opportunity that Oz being layable at 1.05 not long ago gave me

Going to the Caribbean and, after some scares, leading 1-0 against a side featuring stars like Chris Gayle and Sunil Narine, as well as solid all-rounders like Dwayne Bravo and Marlon Samuels ... that would be creditable.
But that's not what Aus have done.

can't blame them really, this would've been the 6th highest chase ever in test history and Bravo/Chanderpaul aside this is a terrible batting line up. they've done as well as they could do

What shame just like that hope has been lost :( or will we see something special Deonarine can bat and if Baugh doesn't bat well now well I really don't think he should be in the team anymore

I want to get some Caribbean documents I think I stand a chance getting selected in this team utter rubbish, disgraceful performance minus chanders and bravo with the bat

cricinfo suggested there could be some showers later...so i was surprised how short aus are. I have had a big lay at 1.04...a bit speculative but i may be able to green out in 20 minutes...lets see.

West Indies seriously need to think about there reputation after this series playing players just because they are young and hope that the experience will make them better is just terrible tactics bring in some people you can rely on What ever happened to Nash?

Commentating on cricinfo, Deonarine falls the last of the specialist batsmen what is Baugh supposed to be??? He isn't a good Wicket Keeper and he is an awful batsmen

to be honest i'm tempted to just have a huge lay of west indies v england at 6/1 for the first test. not a fan of doing that in general but this side is so so bad, only two players average over 30 with the bat

Is there that little talent that West Indies don't need to fight for there places any more and can perform like this??? Chanders in good practice when he came through his place was threatened and he needed to perform

right shillingford, don't let Clarke take man of the match, you now need to stay into the end!!!
such a shame chanderpaul went at the end of the day yesterday.
would have been great to have seen both chanderpaul and bravo walk out to start today but with neither of them it was all over really.

Here's the West Indies Test squad for England: "Darren Sammy (captain), Kirk Edwards (vice-captain), Adrian Barath, Darren Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Narsingh Deonarine, Fidel Edwards, Assad Fudadin, Shannon Gabriel, Kieran Powell, Kemar Roach, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Marlon Samuels, Shane Shillingford"
Baugh and Brathwaite been dropped it'd appear

surely 3-0 and by wide margins unless it's as wet as the sri lanka series last year. hard to see them getting 300 against anderson, swann and co unless it's very flat indeed
