West Indies tour of Australia
« on: December 04, 2015, 10:27:37 AM »

So West Indies are struggling against a Cricket Australia XI.

I see West Indies getting thrashed and humiliated. Could see Lara's 400 being broken too given how flat some of the wickets in Aus have been.

This may well be the time for Darren Bravo to step up to a weakened Aussie attack... They are a young side and I hope we see some fight from both sides! Jerome Taylor is a class act and if he is on fire can make a difference to a day.

I think this may be Jason Holder's time to shine and show how good he can be with bat and ball. They'd need big runs from the middle order too, Samuels and Bravo need to step up as the more senior players.

Current WI team is Clive Lloyd's puppet show. I would stand up and applaud for this team if they can manage to avoid innings defeat in the forth coming test series ....

WI would fare worse than SA in India. SA atleast managed to avoid innings defeat till now. I am not sure if WI can hold up like that ...

This test series will be like watching Eng vs Bangladesh in Durham during may.

Not a test at all really.

Seems to be very little interest in the series, it's a no win series, win easy and we're bullies, get beat and it's the end of the world.

The WI just lost by 10 wickets in a warm up game against the CA XI, the guys who can't get a game in the shield when all the test players are on international duty. They almost lost by an innings, it's really a good thing I got tickets on the first two days, might be almost over by then :/

People wouldn't mind west indies losing if they picked their best team instead of this politics. The likes of kirk Edwards kicked out of the team for criticising the board, chanderpaul dropped, the coach suspended for making comments etc.

Reckon they'll be much more interest in the BBL than this series.

Embarrassingly poor from the West Indies...And Shaun Marsh has probably guaranteed himself another 20/30 Tests by getting a 100...

You know you're an awful team when Shaun Marsh scores a decent ton against you.
