That was a poor leave

[NTA]

This McKenzie guy looks alright

[NTA]

Cursed him

[NTA]

Despite showing a bit of patience on a fairly benign-looking wicket, they're still 6 down for just over 100.

Cummins should have batted - otherwise this might be a short game

[NTA]

New bloke S Joseph - after a good debut with the bat - gets Smith with a ball that was never hitting the stumps.

Well played that man. Good catch too

[NTA]

Labiashame fucks up bigtime.

Shamar Joseph dream debut so far.

If he retires right now I’d laud him as the best all rounder ever

@MN5 Hasty!

I'd like to see Kirk McKenzie get a bowl before I reach that conclusion.

[Chris B.]

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.
