@booboo An element of the old days of uncovered pitches when strategic declarations and - maybe - not pressing too hard to mop up the tail when the wicket was at its juciest?
Changes the dynamic

Going the slog. It's working

So they declare behind to have crack with the new pink under lights.
Finding I have adjust expectations amfor D/N tests
-
And Chanderpaul goorne in last over. Shame.
That's what DRS is for.
Barest of edges ... just perceptible... on both hot spot and snicko.
-
Shamar Joseph might have a broken foot. Retired hurt off a Starc no ball.
Smith and Waj started ok but leg side for the latest and he's gone.
186 to get with 9 wickets. Windies down a Bowler. Hmm

Aussie's to lose.
Get past the night session and it's down hill all the way.

Nice catch.

Crikey - a King Pair for Travis Head - who occasionally looks like the most dangerous batsman in the world!
Oz will doubtless win, but Windies making a fight of it!

Some fighters and characters have emerged.
Pleased this happened to Head. Not the gun his ranking would suggest and his moustache really annoys me.
Roach is a genuinely very good fast bowler too if a notch below his legendary predecessors
-
Shamar Joseph is a gun

He isn't great at the Gabba.

Starc gone trying to go the tonk.
3 wickets. 45 runs. Break coming up.
Tasty
-
Fucking awesome from Shamar Joseph
-
45 runs or three wickets to get.
But with Smith, Cummins and Lyon still available - it will be fucking Hazelwood who hits the winning runs!
-
Very useful 21 from Starc, if he got out cheaply I think they would be more nervous
-
Squeaky bum time lol
-
Terrible shot from Cummins
-
Shamar looks a bit like the real deal!
Would be great if the Windies made a resurgence with some fiery fast bowlers.
Hazelwood to win it firms in the betting!

Or Joseph with 8

I love test cricket.
Good on this unheralded Windies team for making a game of it
-
Tied test coming up?
-
-
Fark yeah!
-
No one gave those Windies a chance, including me. Debutantes rolling aus at home? Ridiculous
7/68 Joseph. Wow. -

I’m hoping for a repeat of 92/93
You'd written them off. You know nothing 😜

Indeed I had. Wonderful effort.
Black Caps will face the backlash next month though !

The perfect delivery - the top of off stump.
Smith was telling porkies saying he had a quick meal.
-
Reminds me of the Warner vs Bracewell game, lets hope Joseph have a better carrer than Bracewell has had.
-
What a nut!! I thought Smith had them home but they just had to share the strike aye. Good shit from Smith to throw it over to Lara - how good!
-
@MN5 ah, back to punching bag status!
-
What an engine he has.
He was still firing them in 145k after 10 overs straight before tea.

While we kept inexplicably trying to bounce their tail out. Top of off ffs. Eventually they'll get bored and try something.
We did it against Pakistan, too.

With a busted toe.
The power of youth.

Why did oz declare earlier on in the match ?
-
So good to see the West Indies put a performance like that back into world cricket.

So they could bowl with a new pink ball under lights.

Hazlewood's batting wasn't going to contribute as much under lights with the pink ball as his bowling
