Australia v West Indies

Trash
Everyone but Warner filled their boots.
You can sort of see why England, Aus and India only want to play themselves.
Their improvement is remarkable although you still get the feeling they’d get hammered in an Ashes series in Australia.

Australia's seam bowling depth is frankly ridiculous.
Their top 3 is pretty much without peer
Boland has played 4 tests, has 21 wickets at 10
The next 3 guys in line average less than 26 in first class cricket
And then they have a genuinely quick guy they are trying to develop (not that any of the above are slow. or short.) -

They might all be various stages of unlikable but by golly they can play.
The Waj entering the form of his life……two awkward looking weirdos averaging over 60, Head fashioning a very impressive career and with 44 having the lowest average of the top five.
I suppose Warner is declining a bit but you get the feeling he’s one massive bludgeoning innings away from finding form.

they also hugely improved their side by having sack the desperately average Tim Paine
