Aussie Summer of Cricket

I haven't paid much attention recently, but I've previously heard of Brathwaite, Roach and Alzarri Joseph in this Windies team - maybe da Silva.

If Clive Lloyd were dead he'd be turning in his grave!

Aussies 67/3

All the wickets to S Joseph

[mariner4life]

good start for the new 1 and 4

Continuation of the last 12 months where Khawaja is going to have to do the heavy lifting

[NTA]

Waj plays at a rubbish delivery and goes.

4 down for 113. That was crap

[NTA]

This is some good bowling. Marsh gone.

[MN5]

Wow, Smith actually is opening now.

That’s taking one for the team, well done that man.

[NTA]

More good bowling. Carey gone

[NTA]

Great debut from Shamar Joseph. Crowd very appreciative of the young man's performance as well.

[MN5]

……and with the Windies doing a mid 90s Black Caps impression an innings victory within a couple of days is still possible….

[NTA]

McKenzie a little over-aggressive there. Windies in deep shit now at 5 for -55

11 overs still to go. They might not last the day.

Give the ball to Hazelwood and give him a shot at his first 10 fer in tests.

Hoff misses out on a tenfer, Shamar Joseph whacks a few quick runs.

Is Smith up to this huge chase?

Holy shit, the average is under 58 now !

Unlikely to go up if he stays as an opener full time.

Complete waste of time as we knew it would be. Australia smash the shit out of yet another team at home.

I’m sure the Windies will “learn a lot” from this defeat though.

Test Cricket alive and well? Tough to win when you send that many debutants... same as SA to NZ

There is the “Black Caps in decline” factor which should make that series more competitive.

But yes this Australian Summer is doing “Test” cricket absolutely no favours at all as a spectacle.

Australian Cricketing public will lap it up, they expect to smash everyone at home.

Might need another opener if The Waj got a knock on the chin.

Come on, give Bancroft a go!

How hilarious would it be to have Smith and Bancroft opening together
