"... And for your test debut we want you to face these guys at 140+"

The first class numbers don’t scream much……but the pedigree is there……

Then again Trevor Chappell played international cricket back in the day.

Gee that looked like Dad

Don't rub it...

The stance or the getting hit in the nuts?

The on drive.

But the nuts for some reason is reminiscent of Shiv...

Pitch must be a road. But 500 is still a fair clip in Test cricket. Well played.

Windies openers survive the day and TBH that was some quality fast bowling, so this pitch is no better

Chanderpaul will be a walking bruise today. Nuts, back leg a couple of times. Chest. Arm. Needs to learn how to duck better.

[mariner4life]

so far 700+ for 5. Great wicket Perth, real spicy stuff

Look at the Windies go !

Kraigg Braithwaite obviously didn’t watch highlights of the England/Pakistan test last night and perused footage of Geoffrey Boycott instead.

Is it just me, or is not enforcing the follow on just weird?

How long till stumps? And an overnight rest?

They're more behind than they scored in their first innings.

You're going to rest your bowlers for what? Two sessions? But they've got an overnight rest.

Just comes across as sooky.

I know, I know, VVS ...

And every time this happens, I ask this question n and Aussiewin anyway. Just seems to me to be the hard way.

I just thought the same. Why ?

Enforcing the follow on deflates the other team. I think it’s a powerful move.

I think they want the pitch to break up a bit more.

As is typical with a lot of recent Aussie pitches it's a bit of a road.

[MajorRage]

Set 498 … currently 84 without, 5 sessions to go.

Unlikely they will do it, but need a decent crack to lift heads for rest of the tour.

[booboo]

164 for 2

Brathwaite 89 not

[booboo]

Score update:

192 for 3

Brathwaite still there 101 not

[booboo]

Last over apparently

306 or 7 wickets in a day ....
